Steph M Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Nekhbet, good luck with that fancy dress costume X-) So are spectators welcome? I'd love to learn some more about retrieving but my dog is only 7 mo. Mine's only the same age! We'll be bringing a long line just in case (if I can find one that quick!) Cmon! Don't leave me and my clown puppy out on our own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'll have a couple of long lines - don't stress too much :) Clown puppies are the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph M Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hooray! We've been down the creek practicing The will is there, but the focus wanes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hooray! We've been down the creek practicing The will is there, but the focus wanes... That's something we will definitely discuss - I don't expect youngsters to be able to focus for too long. Quality not quantity :) In all likelihood I will be taking the raw beginners so look forward to meeting you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been faffing around looking for somewhere to start with it all. I'm really looking forward to it. I will see you then, with the clown puppy...

Leah82 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'd love to come and watch some gundog action at work. Our gundog is a bit useless with his PRA but I love watching dogs doing what they were bred to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I'm sure you could come along and just spectate - make sure you drop Prue an email and double check though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bundyburger Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Pity Bundy doesn't retrieve! ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 That's a shame BB! Some sort of desire to retrieve is great even if they don't deliver to hand. Just a reminder for all attendees to bring lunch and beverages for yourself plus water for your dogs. If you are coming as a raw beginner to work with me please bring a generous amount of small, soft, yummy treats for your dog.....cheese, 4 Legs, cooked/raw chicken, cooked sausage etc etc. Absolutely A grade treats please (and a variety) as it will be a highly distracting environment and we want to set them up for success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph M Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Cool! Good hint! Anything else we should bring or do to prepare? Any more handy hints, oh wise one? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 oh wise one? :D Plenty who would debate that! Including poor Em who had to get me out of a pickle in a trial over the weekend :laugh: The only thing I would say is keep everything light and fun and stop before your dog has had enough :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph M Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Sweet! And Em sounds like a bit of a wonder. I'll bring a big handbag for the kidnapping! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrigadoonRose Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I've just realised this is the day of my daughters' dance concert so I'll have to give it a miss, as much as I'd rather be playing with puppies than curling hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
