cramet

there is a guy in nsw or qld that is looking at starting PSA not sure were he is up to though he had a seminar last year that i tried to get to but didnt get there

chicken wire and the pickets held my malinios pup 3m old til 8m oldin untill he worked out how to chew the soft wire then he moved into a proper kennel run and is all sweet now

chicken wire and star pickets using tent pegs to hold it down or trallis using the star pickets to hold it up

both cheap and can be reused

report it to the local ranger and you should have given the dog and the lady a peice of your mind

place it on for a couple of second then treat do that a few times then extend the length of time till ur happy that the dogs happy some times it works out very quickly some times it takes time

you can make them out of just about any thing mine is a wooden broom handle cut down to 1m drilled a hole in one end and ties some 6mm nylon cord to the end about 1.5m long then i tie a soft leather rag (u can use a bit of towl or some hessan or old potato sack) to the end to start with then when the dog is up to the next level i tie the tug toy im going to use

when u use it just think of the rag as a rabbit and the dog has top nail it and when ur ready let the dog win the rag by keeping the cord tight give the dog a pat every now and again and praise the crap out the dog

when ur ready to end the game make the toy go limp (the prey has been killed) get the dog to relase how ever its been trained and start the game again

only do it for short burst at first to teach the game

and once the dog has been shown whats expected you can make it longer and longer

get a spray bottle from the cheap shop fill it with water and lightly wet there nose and give a few spays in back corner of there mouth try not to shoot the spray direactly down the dogs throught (spel) the dog may not let you do it again if you do

let the dog loose

make sure its a good kill then put the dog away no chewing is allowed after the kill has happend

heavy chains are good for strong dog but arnt the best at relessing them selves

i have a heavy set one and it often hooks it self up on the links so i have to stop what im doing some times and give it a quick flick to release it

but other than that no complaints

ur best to talk to the club and ask them some clubs alow of breeds if they pass the evaluation

i think there is 1 or 2 clubs in bris with the AUSC

goldie will be right with the right guidence (spl)

tell her to visit some breeders as well as to have a look at breeder of her second choice of dog and then make her mind up

i know people wont agree but i belive any breed is suitabul for some one as long as they have the right guidence from a club or a trainer or a breeder

some one that can help with the progress it up to the owner to make this happen not every one else to make it work

the gsd club there has some good instructors there not sure were they train though hopefully some one else can help out

i know this is done by leerburg but dont discount michael ellis he is a good trainer that has done very well for him self

he has titled dogs in french ring mondio and sch and breeds very nice malis

Michael Ellis Explains the French Ring Sport

french ring would be nice

i could change that

weres the clippers lol

dutchies are like any dog there drives could be any balance but it also depends on what u pick and how u bring them up and what there lines are is to how serious they are like the malis pick the right lines and bingo

i found the fci ones are like a stronge mali except calmer in the head when they work

not sure about there home life

but i would liked to have had more time with them to make a proper opinion

i havnt worked a KNPV dutchie yet so its hard to judge the 2 yet

but its on my to do list

once i get some more time up with both types i will be able to tell u more

when talking about civil work it normaly means the fight the dog brings

then there is different forms of civil depending on what drives the dog mainly works in

i hope some of the working guys/gals can chime in and take this further for you

because i suck at discribing a dogs behaviors

dont forget not all have home insurance

but i think the its a good idea for public liability insurance if the dog is declaired DD gives the owner cover if they are responsabul

naa he is a very happy go lucky mali

he has his hyper puppy moments as they do

hes great with my 2 boys and loves his cuddles from any one that spec the ladys

and in training his is willing to please i just gota remb i cant handle him like a rotty

hope this works never done it befor

he is 13wks in this pic and been playing for 4hrs straight with a rotty pup and his 3 litter mates and a mini pinch

got him in feb hes 5m old now and coming along nicely he is going to be a big boy called him dexta

he is doing great

not geting as much love as he should be now i have a mali puppy but u get that on the big jobs

gday gday

yep just thought id see what adventures u guys have been having

sounds good wazzat if you dont feel like posting it could you pm it to me

what the handler did was let the dog "display"

a display is when the dog goes to the end of the lead and eather bounce or scoot side to side

by its self you would think the dog was playing just like u will see if u held your dog and used a tug toy to hype the dog up

but with the training the dogs go though they add controlled aggression IE- the barking and snarling if it wasnt controlled the dog wouldnt have passes it PSD test

also you would have noticed when the situation quitened down the handler used a shorter lead this was so he could keep the dog in play and he could still get on with what he wanted safely

any dog that can work in a crowd control situation i take my hat of to because it is a hi stress situation and shows how strong willed dog is and there training

both dogs did what they were trained to do the handler of tank would have given him his watch command straight up meaning that he is to activate and any one that comes close is fair game this is for the safety of the handler

once all the comotion of the crowd settled of gone away the dog would have been put away or given his relax command

the other shep did well and i was hoping to see the dog sent up the man hole because it is a interesting thing to done due to the way they trained
