Thats the one i was thinking of

Hi Gamby

think you got names mixed up but your right tease.

Umm we had a fair bit on prey drive training a while back cant remeber the name of the thread but it was good

we use a lot of different things just depends though i try to keep it healthy i make meatballs with vegies and vitamins in them so that he gets good food as he isnt a big eater and i want to ensure he gets all his good stuff. Ive found things like hot dog cheese upset the tummy make him gassy and liver if they get too much can gve them the runs

We also use toys

We also do a lot of running away throwing food rolling in the grass with the dogs anything t make playing with me more fun thatthose silly other dogs.

yb

could do, maybe, might know the name, lol

If you need a kick start im pretty good at getting peole motivated lol just ask the summer school girls we had a ball.

AS for getting titles took connor out yesterday and had a look at where we're at seeings hes had a fair break not bad need to build duration on his heeling and add st drop and stand to heeling patterns and build stays otherwise im very happy and he playd ball at the monsters den which is a big step forward. I hae it when i cant train my dogs its like i go around ll day feeling like i lost something and connor hates it too he will nag and nag until we do something then hes happy to just veg out

lol if tobey goes to agility connor wants to know will he wear his blue t shirt and ponytail lol

yb

Hi Sam

yes i think i forgot that once the year started everything goes back and evenings tend to be busy.

Sounds like you had fun Anne keep us posted on Jake the wonder dog and his agility prowess connor is very jealous says if Jakes gets all buffed up he will have to start working out more or the girls will be swooning over jake instead of him lol

yb

LOL Dave

your right ive been down the last few weeks because i havent been allowed to take connor out tonight we had a great game of soccer and chased a bunny i fee much better now and connor is looking a lot brighter too

yb

Thanks h's ok his tears seem to annoy him a bit but otherwse the op went well and hes allowed to do al the normal doggy things i took him out for a good play tonight and he really enjoyed that you one session of herding and if i say fss fiss fiss he starts looking everywhere and gets all excited so we will have to come back up soon once we have this tear duct sorted probably playing in the dust and dirt isnt the best idea just yet lol

connor says he doesnt like playing ball with Jae coz hes a big meany and pops it though he does like his presents from jakey maybe a trip to the beach would be fun

the others could show connor how to swim

yb

ps

what sort of training have you done what interests you about dogs

Hey i know how you feel i sometimes go through stages like that do you have any friends you can get together with maybe have a trick day or something my sister and i go coffee shop trianing where we go for a walk that ends at a nice coffee shop and while we drink and have something nice to eat we do a little training people come up and compliment the dogs which is always nice for the ego

yb

Me too Connor now has a blocked tear duct most likelt crap from the operation so he went in to have it cleared and they were unable to get to the duct so will have to go make agin to have that done and we had to pay for the op even though they couldnt do anything we're thinking if he keeps going this way we may end up with our own million dollar babay lol.

the joys of doggys. Other tahn thata he is much better seems more relaxed now his eyes arent so irritated but hes very quiet probably from all the chemicals hes had pumped into him lately so hopefuly he will be back t normal in the next few days

yb

sorry guys but with all connors vet bills i have to make some money and have been offered some evening work that will help greatly

yb

after such a successful summer school i was hoping to run another in March but it looks as though i wont be free wednesday nights and every other night is busy for me so i wont be able to. Feel free to pm me if you need help with anything and i'll see what i can do

yb

Alison use the jacket its a good idea so people remeber she needs space or else when people get chatting they sometimes forget.

I was thnking of coming

yb

i thought any breed could to the temp test part but only certain ones could go on only gundogs are allowed to do retrieivng trials and herding breeds herding trials

A little bird came to stay

From a yucky home he'd flown away

feathers drab and toenails gone

we took him in and into our little home

We fed him special food and treats mde him happy dance and tweet

he made friends and danced around

feeling better thanks to the hound

But little Budgie passed away

he fell asleep then fell away

he last few weeks were happy ones

now he can fly free

fly to the sun

Little Budgie has gone sweet dreams little bird we wanted to find you a big aviary to play in but now you have the the whole sky as your playground

yb

i have a blackdog one its fine and fits my bits in it i use it for walks but they are handy to kepp your stuff together
