Obedience Dvds

[Nushie]

Hi all,

So the last few weeks i have been really motivated to get into obedience with Jager and i have sourced my local obedience club (which was also recommended by a friend of a friend) so i have contacted them and they have a compulsory night session and then the following 2 sundays morning sessions. Which would normally be fine but they only run them once a month and unfortunately this month and next month i cannot attend either the night session or one/both sunday sessions. It really is just my luck cause normally i am never this busy! So i put my name down to attend in October....

But in the mean time i would like to keep motivated and start doing some obedience on my own. Jager already knows the basics sit, drop, stay (for short periods etc.) but they are just want i have taught him at home. I would like to start something more "formal" like what they will be doing at club lessons. Does anyone have any good recommendations on DVD's that i can buy that will start us off. They can be part of a series or not. IWe havent done a lot of heel work so will have to start at the basics.

Also where does everyone do their at "between meets" training? In your backyard, down the local park? I guess until we sort out a good focus then we will be best to start off in the backyard. Its not very big but we can incorporate inside without any problems.

Thanks guys!

I do my "training" in a combination of places, lounge, backyard, frontyard, local park, while walking.... something you can work on, is doggy pushups? stuff like that.

you can do that anywhere.

I like this guys videos. they are more for the general pet owner, but stuff there will help you with basics that will come into formal obedience

Have a look at kikopup on YouTube. Emily Larlham was out here last year . She had lots of things you can do that will help build good foundations.

Denise Fenzi! She has website with a great blog, a YouTube channel with lots of great stuff and online classes starting every 2 months. Fantastic trainer - and awesome seminar presenter when she was over last month.

I'm not a big fan of any DVD that actually has Leerburg in it. I feel the Leerburg DVDs I purchased were the most wasteful dog related products I've bought.

The Michael Ellis ones are pretty good though.

Do you mean the Ed Frawley ones? (Owner of Leerburg) I don't like his either. But I love Michael Ellis! If you can get his stuff that would be good.

Yep, I use Ed and Leerburg interchangeably.

I love Michael Ellis, he is great.
