MrsD Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 SLLH, just try to stay calm, I presume you are doing some heeling etc, just try to relax, unless you have to take your dog completely offlead & do recalls or something there's no need to be too nervous. I know, easy for me to say but its true, after it's finished you'll be wondering what all the fuss was about & will be looking forward to the next one ;) . I've been lucky enough to be part of a demo team at the Brisbane Royal in the main arena at 7pm at night - & despite all the noise, lights, cow & horse manure & other things going on all the dogs behaved well & it was a great sucess . Hope you have a great time - good luck :rofl: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vickie Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 You guys will be great! Demo's are fun & a great way to practice in different atmospheres. A bit of nerves are a good thing, it'll give you an indication of where you're at & let you see what you need to work on. Just smile & have a good time.

dogdude Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Having a three year old daughter allows me to legally watch playschool. The other day there was a lady who appeared with a lab that was supposed to integrate her dog in with a childrens story. The dog did not want to play the game unfortunately, ;) I felt sorry for her owner/trainer, just a bit embarrasing. At least you wont be on national T. V!! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoilt lab lives here Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 Pretty good! I wasnt nervous when i went on thank doG. He was excellent afterwards aswell!!! I am so proud!! We went and had an excellent time going on lots of rides and he was even very well behaved around the shetland ponies, he has never seen a horse before in his life!! We watched the daredevil motorshow thing and with all the super loud explosions he was fine!! I was freaking out at the fireworks, they were so lound and right on top of us, meanwhile Ramses is sniffing the ground looking for food!!! typical labrador Out of the whole day only 1 kid asked could he pat the dog and 2 ladies at a show stand asked was he a SHORT HAIR GOLDEN RETRIEVER!!!! i mean WTF!!! The rides were awesome and ramses was so patient. We have had a full day!! obedience in the morning , obedience in the arvo and then being walked around the show ground all night!! what a weekend we have had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
