Just started doing the A Frame with Poppy. Last week on a lower frame she had no problems with her 2o2o. This week at almost full height she had problems slowing herself down. She wanted to do the 2o2o but had trouble staying on the A Frame. Any tips for helping her? Still not convinced about 2o2o on a A frame either!!

Mine hasn't arrived either so I guess they are all late.

Probably the number on the website. You would need to do the obedience test on a Sunday and prep is usually on a Sunday too and goes for 4 weeks. Then they usually have equipment training on a Sunday or Monday. Have a chat to Leopuppy as she instructs on a Monday night.

Try popping him in and out of the car without taking him anywhere. Lots of pats when he is in the car. Borders can be soft. People reckon they are super easy to train but it ain't easy training a dog that has just fallen on the floor and is pretending that it is dead :cool:

6.30 & 7.30. But you are supposed to do a basic obedience test first, then all the prep stuff.

Croydon trains on Monday nights!

Thanks Strangely I don't feel the same angst about herding as I do about agility and obedience. Probably why I am enjoying it so much. I have a test at dog school the day after herding and I am really freaking out about that!

Going for my PT In June!

Super cute pics!!

The puppy that I thought was my fav from the pics would not have been the pup that I took home, had I been buying one as I like my pups to pick me!!! Soooo Miss Panda would have come home with me!! She gave very good smoochies.

I am sooo embarrassed

OMG! I am NOT even going to talk about the weird stuff I was doing in that class. LP you are in sooo much trouble!

Laffi???? what the??? Omg was that Laffi that my ferals were jumping all over last night??????????

They are very cute.... Panda gave me some lovely kisses....

Ok so I guess that I shouldn't tell the interstate people that I got to snuggle the cute widdle puppies on the weekend..... Arrrrr puppy breath.....

No need to be rude! Obviously no one has this bath.

Lol I didn't even get into the 'which thing' to go to debate!

I am really struggling at the moment with trying to train Poppy in both obedience and agility at the same time. It is more a time, concentration factor for me. The dog seems to be coping well!! I feel that I am doing neither properly and I do like to do things 100%. How do other people manage the time commitment to multiple sports? Chuck into the mix the fact that Poppy is also doing herding and I am doing agility with Brock!!! Not a bad problem having too many hobbies!

I got a tunnel from Air dogs for $130. http://www.airdogs.com.au/agility/home.php?cat=250. Not one that you could leave outside but it is fairly portable.

Don't like giving advice on stuff like this on a forum but I wonder if it has anything to do with him not doing flyball anymore?? I wonder if he is missing the whole thing, exercise, bonding with OH etc. You still do flyball I think with the other dogs? If he is being left behind now he might really be feeling it. I do agree that a vet check up might be a good idea. Hope you find the answer.

Benny I had lots of trouble getting the Selects down here. The bag I just got was discounted so I imagine that it is not going to be continued here either. It was stocked in Pet Stock but they claimed not to know how much it cost and I had to really argue with them to get them to sell it. So if it didn't take off it is not surprising!

Well done TSD! Woo hoooo

Millicent? lol. Just a small drive! I'm in the Yarra Valley, Vic!

Chucking a couple of bits of food a couple of times to help a confused, frustrated dog is hardly going to stuff up the whole method. It is more showing what you want than luring. You can then go back to shaping. I didn't have to do this btw as Poppy went through the poles on her own. Just trying to help the OP but will not bother to give any advice on this forum again.
