BC4ME Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Has anyone started on their routines for next year yet? I have ideas but that is all at the moment I have a new routine for Styler Novice Freestyle routine on paper, just need to put more work into Styler so he is more accurate with his cues. Cant wait to hear more about your new Novice Freestyle routine for Styler :). When does Qld have their first DWD comp? 2nd February up in Toowoomba. Its a lovely venue, a private school (we use their covered sports area), lots of shady trees, surface is brilliant to for the dogs to work on, facitlities are handy. It is a 2 hours drive for me but it is a lovely trip up the range and a great way to start the DWD season off. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kallistar Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 I would have thought slow was OK with an older dog. Unless you just can't get enough moves in, I suppose. The song that I was thinking about is One Toy Soldier by Enya and as a HTM routine I could get all four heel positions that are required in.. but the the change of pace would be tricky, hence why it could be too slow. Only need one more pass for HTM Inter :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi and Happy New Year I have costumes made and spent the week-end making my props. Tonight I finally put my ideas down on paper, so now to see if what I wanted to do will actually work :laugh: fingers crossed they do Everyone up here is excited to start another year of competition. We come from all over Bribane, Sunshine and Gold Coast so it will be nice catchup for us all. It is about 1-2 hour drive for most of us. Toowoomba is held at a beautiful private school and out performance area is the undercover sport arena, the surface is rubberised concrete and it is just perfect for DWD. The facilties are lovely and handy to everything, there are some lovely shady trees to set up under. Toowoomba Dog Obedience Club run the comp and it is always a good fun one. If only more schools would let us use the facilities it would be awesome, but QLD Govt say NO to dogs on their grounds. I Don't understand why, our dogs are better behaved than some of their students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 BC4ME You're not wrong there :-). Exciting that the first comp is so close. Hmm - well my list is still about the same length - although Mr Rory has picked up UD scent discrimination pretty fast - not perfected yet, but he's definitely got the idea, so that's one thing achieved - puts the DWD work closer :laugh: .

kallistar Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Wow, would love to see you in your costumes BC4ME :) and yes it very exciting that your comp is so close. glad that the grounds are lovely where you hold the comps. Makes all the difference of stumbling to gliding around the dance floor. Now hopefully I haven't killed the thread roflol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC4ME Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 As we are scattered all over the Brisbane, Sunshine & Gold coasts and Toowoomba regions our competitions are held in different places. This makes it fair for those that travel distances to get to comps. Most of our comps are held out in the open at obedience clubs and we have been very lucky with the weather. Although very cold at times the rain gods have been with us. It has rained prior to and at the end of our comps but we haven't had to postpone a competition so far, I believe the rain gods love DWD. You watch I just jinxed us by saying that as cyclonic weather moves down the coast :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC4ME Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Here are the results of the comp that was held at Toowoomba on the week-end. I must say how proud I was of my boy Chook who was an absolute "airhead" in his freestyle routine but then came out and won the HTM Intermediate section. Totally different dog, some were talking drug testing because the change in him was amazing :rofl: My boys and I came away with 3 quallies from 4 routines gotta be happy with that. Styler has a new Freestyle Novice routine and Chook has a new HTM Intermediate routine so it was nice to quallie with these new routines considering this was the first real run throughs because of the weather we've had up here.

kallistar Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Wow, well done everyone:) So please to read all these lovely results. Keep up the good work everyone Not sure when Vic's next dwd comp will be at this point of time. It gives me a little bit more time to work out my routine with the young girl who loves to do leg weaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kallistar Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Well done on the DWD qld website. Please pass on my thanks to people responsible for putting the site together. It is easy to navigate and so informative :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Congrats to you and Chook BC4ME (who is gorgeous even when he's being an airhead :laugh: - boy brains, don't we know it ;-)) - super well done on the HTM Intermediate win - that's serious business. And congrats to the other competitors. You guys are all lovely to watch. No action on the choreography front here - though we have worked a little bit on a couple of moves. Have pretty much succeeded in getting Rory to get the basics of Scent Discrimination - and polishing Open obedience a bit - and do some agility handling. Thinking I might enter him in a Jumping trial before too long - or maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvsdogs Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Sydney comp this Sunday. Due to ill health looks like I'll miss going to see it. Haven't missed anything to do with DWD since going to my 1st comp a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptolomy Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Nice newspaper spread BC4me I snuck in and got our first leg of novice HWM and have entered again next weekend at the Western Classic. The third leg will see us bow out very gracefully! I am just thankful my boy can heel no matter what I throw at him or ungraceful position I find myself in.
