BlaznHotAussies Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) I want to get to at least one show a month. Particularly the Western Classic & Perth Royal!! (One show a month doesn't seem like a lot but we live 4 hours from Perth so it's a lot for us) Would love to title Tundra by the end of 2017. We'll see. OH!! And I want to get him Endurance Titled. Maybe my bitch, Cilla, too. Once she's lost her baby weight Edited December 31, 2016 by Scootaloo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbedWire Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Yep, I am definitely going to insist that my small dog stop jumping up when I come home. It's so easy to ignore because she is little but it can scare small children and I need to make sure that she is A1 rehomeable in case anything should happen to me.

Maddy Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 To get the Shitty Whippet a new friend. Ever since we lost Bosley, she's been just not quite right. Food is meh, toys are meh, she spends a lot of time hiding on our bed, under the covers. I get barely any sleep because now, she wants to sleep next to me every night and it's exhausting because I can't sleep properly. That said, so far, looking has not been a particularly fun process and I feel like we've not really gotten anywhere so who knows if new friend will even happen next year. Maybe it's just the last of the 2016 "mehs" but.. yeah.. meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I want to try Nosework with Tempeh too. And I need to start taking more regular photos of Stussy. She is 9 now and has white sunglasses to prove it. When did my baby get so old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papillon Kisses Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Number one is a healthier happier Malcolm mental health wise, but second to that more nose work, including just practicing more as I've not been great with that recently. Maybe even do an ORT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappi&Monty Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Everyone's resolutions sound great/lovely. Mine for Monty is to hopefully fingers crossed get his behaviour under control when out in public, it's quite hard to explain but he is reactive with some dogs. I doubt he has ever learned manners or how to read some dogs' body language except for a few of his friends. I've tried so hard to stop it/help him be more confident and polite, but we need an extra helping hand. (he was in the pound for a few months before we adopted him as a 6mth old.) My Christmas present was to have a trainer come in every week for a few weeks to work with us. :) Scootaloo; Good luck! That sounds awesome! Sars; Aww that's a nice thing to do Thistle; Go Thistle! (and Mum!) Maddy; Poor Shitty Whippet, hoping she cheers up & a new friend comes along soon. Little Gifts; Nosework sounds great! And yes, it's a nice thing to make sure you have some lovely up to date photos and memories for when they go. Time sneaks up on you with dogs, sometimes Scrappi seems like such an old man but really he's only 7, whenever he sees poor old Banjo next door Scrap turns into a little pup again and Banjo has to do the "Get off me you rowdy pup" that Scrappi does to Mo! PK; Good luck that Malcom is feeling better Edited December 31, 2016 by Scrappi&Monty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozzie Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Get to building searches with Fern and start Jeff on scentwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Rupert get closer to his Grand Ch title, start his agility career and hopefully get him weaving and perfect hand stripping his coat Kirah gain more points towards her Grand Neut Ch title, learn to hand strip her to standard, gain 1 more Q for her JD title and most importantly, het the stubborn turd weaving. Possibly look into an ET title for her too if I can be bothered Zeus get his very first ANKC Q in any discipline, gain his SAAD title in ADAA and keep him continually healthy as he'll be turning 8 this year. I might also look into Noseworks for him too as he is a beagle! Edited December 31, 2016 by RiverStar-Aura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 One of my co-workers is doing a course in dog training... maybe I will offer her Harper as a case study... lol! Dog knows, Harper needs to get a fair bit of training still, and some extra socialisation with new people and other dogs (in a controlled environment of course). Trouble will be 11 in February, and I just realised yesterday that she is starting to look her age... still doesn't act it though. T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
