oonga Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 (edited) Hello everyone, i just wanted to say that we took our little Maia to her first training class yesterday held by the Rotty club of Victoria, and co-ordinated by Herr Rottweiler. although Maia didn't actually have a training session, she did participate in the activity seesion at the end of the class. she was really funny, she had to run through one of those kiddy coloured tunnel things and 1st go she was VERY hesistant, although with encouragement she did go through, second go a little more confident, by the third go, she was so confident and enthusiastic she bounced and leaped through the tunnel only to headbut me at the other end!! it was hysterical, especially for those watching on the sidelines!!! anyhow the purpose of this post was to tell you all that it is an excellent place to go for training. Herr Rottweiler and all the volunteers there were full of information and knowledge and so eager to help. My partner and i feel very lucky to have this training available to us. it is so encouraging to see all the trainers SO enthusiastic about all the dogs, and so full of positive energy. for those of you thinking about going along please do, you will love it. anyhow just wanted to share the enthusiasm that was rubbed off on me hope to see some more DOL there cheers oonga Edited March 8, 2006 by oonga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelpie-i Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Oonga, did you get to meet Hillary at the rotti club? He's the south african guy with Georgie. A number of his dogs have gained titles and he's a great person to speak to and get some valuable tips from. Enjoy your training! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oonga Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hi Crazy beagle lady, we will still be going to Southern every second sunday, more for all breed training, so will probably see you there with shoemonster Kelpie-i, i didn't introduce myself to the person i who i think may be Hillary, but if it is the same person i think you are talking about, i also saw him at the ROtty Champ show, and yes he was also handling dogs there, he is a good handler. also if it is the same person then he was dressed up as a clown at the end of the training session, seems also like an easy going fun person. cheers oonga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Glad you enjoyed your first lesson, Oonga. I hope to be able to make it down (for a look see and perhaps volunteer to help out) from time to time. Will look forward to meeting with you. ;) Hey - HR! Good work ...

oonga Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hi Erny, it would be great to meet you at Rotty training some time, it is great to put a face to a name :D it would also be very appreciated i am sure if you were to volunteer your service, and a lovely gesture on your behalf, would probably be rewarding for you too, after reading your responses to people here it is obvious that you are one of those people who likes to help others Scope, i am sooo looking forward to the day that Hudson can walk around without a muzzle and i know that with your patience and committment to him and the supporting guidance you are receiving from people that day will come! hmmm the tunnel huh *raised eyebrow* see you wednesday!! cheers oonga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Rottweiler Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hey guys, glad to hear that you're enjoying RCV training. It's my time to give back to the community after working as a professinal for 15 years Oonga - Good work with your little pup! You're doing a great job with her and we have only started to scratch the surface. Scope - Always great to see someone who is willing to do whatever it takes. Most people would have given up by now so i'm proud of you that you have chosen to persevere and take the necessary precautions. Good on you! Anyone else with Rotties or Rotty hybrids are welcome to join and come on down. HR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeysue Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hi HR, and Oonga, why is it all good clubs are in Vic or N.S.W. We in Qld seem to be missing out with our Rottys. Especially here near Hervey Bay. HR, your Gamin looks just like my Ice. Sounds like you all have a great time. Glad you are doing a great job.

Herr Rottweiler Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Gamin is from Joy Belles, (Rotvel) so if you got one from Joy there is a good chance they are related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oonga Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 (edited) SHOEMONSTER: it was great to meet you and Eddie today at training, he is such a gentle affectionate boy, i look forward to seeing you other times, and it was great to hear that stuff i am gowing through is perfectly normal, so thanks for the chat felt like a mothers club LOL HERR ROTTWEILER: thanks for the positive feedback! it came at a time when i really needed it as i was feeling like a bit of a failure with Maia, so your comments gave me a boost... good on you for giving back to the community it is truly a great thing to do!! SMOKEYSUE: yes we are fortunate here in melbourne to have the services of HR and the gang at RCV... but lucky for you Ice is such a clever and well behaved boy he doesn't need them oh and Maia is kind of walking on a loose lead YAY don't feel like i am suffocating her dragging her along LOL just need to stop her from zig zagging now... yes i know 1 step at a time LOL cheers oonga Edited March 19, 2006 by oonga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
