Oh crap what have i done diesel and i are starting our obediance trialing career at the shoalhaven dog club trial at the end of july, every time i think of it i get butterrflys already

so any tips for my first trial? i picked a smaller club trial as my first time plus its my own club so that diesel is comfortable on the grounds any thing else i should do to prepare him?

Breath and enjoy. And if I can do it with a greyhound you can do it with your wonderful boy! Remember you are taking home the best dog there.

Go Diesel

My two will hopefully make their debut soon to and it makes me nervous just thinking about it . Just remember to have fun .

If you pop into the Training Talk Thread huski is about to make her debut with her Beagle Daisy

LOL thanks for reminding me Tiggy!

There is some good advice in the training talk thread as I recently asked the same thing. What you do to prepare your dog is really an individual thing. For me ideally I do nothing with Daisy at least 24 hours before hand: no food, training, games, walks etc. Some people do the opposite. Just what works best for your dog

Good luck

thanks guys we have been having trouble with sit stay for the past few months but he did a perfect one on wensday so i hope we have turned the corner there my instructor is trying to get me to enter wollongong on the 4th but i dont know if im ready that quickly

[voloclydes]

you'd better let us know how you go eh?

would love to have a go... we might not do so good but would love to have a go.

way to go. You will be able to have a good day and dont just sit around all day i suggest you watch the ring by yourself for one dog if possible this will help you to know what pattern the ring work is being done in.

do remember that you little baby does need to go to the toilet just like you do and ensure it also has access to water on the day!!!

Best of luck!!
