goldielover Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'm a bit like that too at the moment,and i can't afford to be with my little whirlwind of a dog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herding_guy Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 WHAT?????? Feeling flat when working with a dog - what, how, who, when????? How could you ever feel flat? Grab that lead, your treat bags, clicker, whatever (oh and the dog of coarse) go to the park and work / play with that dog. Now look at his / her wagging tail, honest eyes, loyal nature and tell me you feel flat. Whenever I feel flat, down, low energy etc etc guess what I do - go work with my dogs. When I spend time with my dogs I lose sense of time, never feel down, never feel how hot or how cold it is - all that is is me and my dog and maybe a few hundred sheep Get into some play time with your charges, make a fool of yourself and have some fun. Your charges need you. Sending you energy vibes through the WWW now. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS for getting titles took connor out yesterday and had a look at where we're at seeings hes had a fair break not bad need to build duration on his heeling and add st drop and stand to heeling patterns and build stays otherwise im very happy and he playd ball at the monsters den which is a big step forward.
