shoemonster Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) We were wondering where you were Stella, glad he's ok Had a great time, was great to meet everyone Was good to see others having run throughs, and makes you think about what you do yourself Ed was a bugger with his recall but great with his stays! finally some work paying off lol Need to do lots more work on our figure 8's Oh and Jules, I was thinking with his chain, in a trial I will clip it so its a collar not a chain, then I won't have to worry about the links Edited April 9, 2007 by shoemonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Shame you didn't make it WMR but glad to hear your son is ok. It was great to meet everyone, gave me lots to think about. I tried a couple of different toys when I got home to try and hype Brock up - he was scared of most of them! What a sook. Reckon I could use the cat but don't think the cat would like it much!

shoemonster Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 What about one of the rabbit fur rats? Molly goes nutto for them and even Ed likes them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I was thinking about one of those on a bit of string. He does like playing with little furry critters. Is very gentle with them, just puts them in the middle of the garden and then herds them up. Don't think the critters like it, I have to keep going and rescueing them!

shoemonster Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hey DD where are you? It's a pity you are so far away or we could do more stay work! I think you will have to move! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Yeah we should round up heaps of border collies for Oscar. I can bring my old one next time and put her on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdude Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Hi everyone, Yeah Shoey, not much happens in the dog world up here. There are no informal training "get togethers up here Jules, now that would really confuse Oscar He would'nt know which side to break his stay on ;) Although the main problem yesterday seemed to be laziness by dropping during the sit stay because of the sunshine (or brainfade). He being an only dog, coupled with his sexual maturity (and entire) is another problem I think. I was thinking to actually give him a pop on the checkchain next time, but I dont think it would do much good. I'm hoping for a change when he loses his manhood. Its quite frustrating as breaking stays are usually easy to fix. The laziness only seems to happen during group stays, but not under any other level of distraction. ;) Glad to here your son is ok WMR! No need to appologise, family first.

shoemonster Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I guess the only thing that will really help is to get him in doing group stays more Would your club let you bring him into your classes group stays? (the one you are instructing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesomil Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Are people still getting together this weekend for training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdude Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Its complicated! I work weekends, (start after lunch time) so ATM, I am training one of the lower classes (class 2), where they only do onlead stays. Classes 3 and 4 are on when I have to leave, so atm I am just getting in a quick sit stay before class starts, which is under very high distraction, but still different to formal group stays, even know in theory they are less distraction compared to roaming off lead dogs running all around him!

JulesP Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I wonder if he is doing it because he thinks he can get away with it because you feel less able to correct him in case you disrupt the other dogs? Going back to doing stays on the lead might be good for him anyhow. The correction time is too long if you are a couple of meters away, the dog has already had its win by the time you get back. I usually go right back if I encounter a problem. It is much easier to give advice on here then in person ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdude Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Yes Jules, i'm not scared of taking a few backward steps, but I still need the group situation to set him up. I think we were all a little reserved yesterday while we were probing around with everones personality, but we were all fine by the end of the day. It was good to put a faces to names! RoxysMum: I forgot to ask the breed background of your dog? Lightning recall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
