Guest rhapsodical78 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Ok, Seems like a few of us are on the hunt for training partners!!! Who would be interested in once a month training sessions where we can feed off each other in terms of getting ready for trials. Weekends only - dependant of course on what we have on..... Only those of us who have an interest in aiming to get to a high quality trialling standard as if we cover 'basic obedience' (without trialling in mind) it may get a little too hard to conform. If we have a lot of interest I am sure we'll still be able to get it to work. Any ideas? Or Interest (other than that of myself, Shoey and JulesP!) Umm... as for the basics of training methods, I think the 3 of us are motivation/ clicker training type trainers??? I'd be interested, though I'm a newbie whom now one here knows. I haven't started trialing but intend to. I'm working through basic obedience right now. I'll watch this thread for times and dates if I'm welcome. There's a picture of 'the subject' below. Cheers. Naomi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemonster Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 connor has developed an issue with black dog especially huffy ones he wants to beat them up coz eddie is a bully and picked on him Pffft who picked on who? lol I bet Ed is still scared of Connor! I was wonderig if the grounds where Knox train would be good, outside of their training times, it's a public ground isn't it? Sound slike it would be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 (edited) Do Knox use their grounds on a Sat Arvo?? That would be ideal. I'm thinking not KCC as they are usually busy on w/ends not to mention it may be further out for some of us. I know really good grounds in box hill, but that is too far out! I'll check my walkies book when I get home All I have is a broad jump, puppy see-saw and some weavers (if I bring a hammer!) As for starting - how about after easter? A sat arvo. Bring along some nibblies and make it a social affair. We'll just break up into small groups (2-3) and then critique each other..... but first you'll have to outline what you are working on and what you are trying to improve/ where your difficulties are. If anyone has video cameras bring them along, but as to who gets videoed will depend on availability. Sound good?

roxy's mum Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I would prefer KCC (as it's 5 mins away), but I'm more than happy to go to Knox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoemonster Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Nah I'm bringing a whip for anyone that feeds anyone elses dogs! lol I would love to see Stella with a clicker holding up her pants though Knox train Sunday mornings so Sat arvos they won't be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lablover Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 If stuck, you can use my place. 7 ks from Berwick. I have some very dusty, but in good condition, jumps in the garage. A set time would help, from a personal view, so I can organise my training around the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking - if anyone wants clicker 'help' or 'complex tricks' help we could also do some as I know that there have been a few questions about that lately???

leopuppy04 Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 hmm... I was thinking of doing training Sat arvo - time depending on each month. If you like we can try and do mornings? I'm not sure of date yet, I'll have to go home and check out my calander!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t(AD)pole Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Can I come? Please! But we have to do some agility for us agility nuts! I have 2 single jumps (soon to be more), mini tunnel, mini see-saw (if I can get it in the car), tire jump, weave poles (again if it fits in the car) and a few big cones (can be used to send dog out around etc.).

dogdude Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I would love to come, but just got a promotion at work, and work afternoon shift on weekends. If it ends up in the morning, I will come. Dont pick a footy ground as it all starts soon. Hmmm.....Box Hill.....only 40 mins away Living in the northern suburbs is like living in a dog obedience desert! Sucks being the minority!!)

Cosmolo Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Not mornings!! i have classes in the mornings.. what about a mid week night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxy's mum Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hmmm, I think mid-week might be the go. But we'd need to find somewhere with lights as daylight savings finishes this weekend. Personally I think Sunday early arvo would be great.... but that's if we can find somewhere to train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
