witheverythingiam Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 What is drive training for? Would it improve my dogs Obedience? I was thinking of starting Obedience lessons again (my dog has his Obed Nov S/S Cert, but that's as far as we got - he doesn't like to focus on me). Was also thinking of starting Agility Lessons later in the year. Would this be OK for this dog? -WithEverythingIAm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 Absolutely! See the pinned Triangle of Temptation at the top and read some of the posts about drive. If I were starting again with another dog...this is absolutely how I'd start! My initial education on training in drive started with reading Kevin Behans book Natural Dog Training. K9 gives specific exercises and lots of followup. Will be well and truly worth your time and investment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levi Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 (edited) What level of obedience training is required to attend this workshop? Edited July 10, 2006 by MyRani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve K9Pro Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 K9: anyone from Novice to Expert can attend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 A good idea for those who are volunteer instructors who would like to come along...Gympie Dog Obedience Club has agreed to subsidise the cost of its instructors to attend the workshop. A little by way of instructor training and developement and also to give something back to the people that help make the club possible. Perhaps your club would do the same for you?

KitKat Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Rom - you might want to ask the mods to combine your two threads on this topic...i didn't see this one till just now and so emailed Steve earlier today. And didn't realise part of what i was asking was listed here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K9 will be here for 2 days running 2 workshops. As he limits class sizes to 15 and needed around 30 attendees to make coming up here worth while, each workshop is basically the same thing repeated on the second day. You only need to attend one day...either 23rd or 24th of Sept....more than welcome to attend both days if you want to or if you just can't get enough of Steve, but its not necessary. Also for those that want to stay overnight, Twin Lakes Village is dog friendly and have 2 bedroom cabins for about $70 per night if I remember correctly. So there is the opportunity to organise shared accomodation if its needed. They are fully fenced except the driveway opening at the front and have a large grassy area that the dogs can have a run in. I think it will be school holiday time at the time of the workshop so will probably be a good idea to book ahead...contact no:54825433 -------------------- Rom Lover of dogs and learning esp. anything about dogs.

Rom Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 There you go KitKat. Did it myself....good old copy and paste! Now.....just to confuse the issue even more....Steve has contacted me to say that if you want to attend both days of the workshop then thats good because even though the basic format for the workshops for each day is the same, the direction that the workshops take is highly question driven so no 2 are the same. But you now pay for 2 days instead of the price quoted for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
