shoemonster Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 As I've entered some shows next year, (thanks Sway! lol) I need to really get my butt into gear I started teaching Ed "look" this morning and he is now understanding the difference between look and watch and just starting gaiting v's heeling, using my lead arm held out for gaiting He is also now stacking nicely and letting me hold his muzzle, and move him around without resisting I have been reading some articles on line and some lovely dolers have pm'd me with info too (thankyou!) I am getting excited now, as he's starting to look like a real dog! I dob't really know what the purpose of this post is, I guess it's just that you can tell OH and such and they don't get it! lol So anyone with advice or remarks or just to tell me I'm silly post away!

shoemonster Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Thanks Shek!

shoemonster Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 Oh I recommend using the clicker for everything, the dogs respond so much more quickly to it, but get used to the clicker first, get your timing right I have heard that bouncing a tennis ball and clicking at the exact moment the ball hits its highest point in the air is the best way to get your timing right, as you need to clikc right at the exact point the dog is giving the correct behaviour I was clicking Ed last night for giving me nice ears, it was hilarious!

shekhina Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 what a character! I would love to know the breeder you purchased him from, if you prefer to send it in a PM that's cool My partner *may* be looking for a Staffy, if I can convince him NOT to get a GSD (would be a disaster ).
