Shakti Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hi Sky, From memory it had ten teams consisting of a handler and their dog who competed in various challenits paws or letting it roll over and over with paint on it to the really interesting eg having the dog do a Sit-Stay while an elephant was walked quickly towards them trumpeting!! I was blown away by a little Maltese named Andrew who was not jus tthe only dog to hold his Stay when confronted with the elephant but actually yawned!! I think there was a huge amount of politicking in it and various training methods were absolutely torn to shreds (regardless of whether or not they had worked) but over all a very interesting and entertaining show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabel964 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Sounds interesting, I bet there was a lot we would disagree with, some we would question, but also find some things interesting and fun. Politics in that sort of thing are never nice I suppose, but I have never gotten into showing dogs myself so I don't really know. Dogs and elephants....whatever next.

Sandra777 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I was blown away by a little Maltese named Andrew who was not jus tthe only dog to hold his Stay when confronted with the elephant but actually yawned!! No doubt looked cute, but yawning is usually a sign of stress, so don't misunderstand what you saw. Didn't see the show myself, sounds like some well trained dogs and dedicated owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clover Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I thought the show was stupid. Especially the 'stunt' witht the Elephant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
