wow wat a great outcome corgis are the cutest little things and the two pups togetehr aww they will be special friends its so nice wehn things work out and people egt exactly the right dog for them

thre just jealous you go out and do things the way that makes you happy and bugger everyone else thast what i'd do

Watched the vid you did fine moses looked very happy which judge did you have

wish that were true but my sheltie who i have had since a puppy was well socialised and is very highly trained though to many would seem pretty perfect can be overcome by nerves in the oddest situations and no matter what we do its there lurking in the background his father was also nervous his mother was good though but i can see both parents in his behaviour

hey guys Jules your doing relaly wll me thinks dont me too hard on yourself this is your first time out in the competition ring

i use a verbal marker one less hand needed then

so when do i get to see the vid hey

im not going to get into the forced retrive versus he clicker i use a non forced clicker retrive based on john fishers method and it has worked every time on heaps of different dogs even those with no retrieve and most have been fetching within days

as in you did it so quickly you have to be pretty happy about it id ike to see the vid its good to get an idea f what judges are marking

well donr brt your simling

hahahah evil laugh now shes in trouble the silly girl actually thinks i know something worth learning hehehe

howd he know he is he has a tank full of water to breathe in under there and everything lol

scarier heaps scarier and my dog is scarey just ask eddie he'll tell you

just so your aware im really tough and demand a lot rofl

shoey can you get to frankston on a saturday or is it too far

Pom you are exactly right i dotnt bother with classes anymore mayeb the odd one just to use the class as a distraction. For soem tough they need the class to learn how to teach the exercises so i guess i can see how it becomes a habit to do a class each week with my first dog i found a good private trianer and mentor as has been suggested i found my dogs learned faster and we had heaps more confidence We started using the club as you say for distraction and equipment and have done ever since. I like being able to reward when i need to with out worrying about the other people in class

ahh yes didnt think of that anyway we'll have some fun sunday im sure

id say we could swap dogs but connors a sooky lala and wont even go with OH

hehe i may well do or maybe i will pinch your dog
