Hi Guys, I am hoping you can help me with a reputable place to get an agility tunnel for our obedience club. I am pressed for time and know I should just google but just don't know where to start. Hoping to find somewhere that has them at a reasonable price and willing to freight/send to Western Victoria. Thanks for any info at all.

I thought the same thing apart from the bloody sea weed, but there was huge sections where there was none! Great walking beach I love it, so easy to walk on especially with a bugger up back!

Great shots Helen, love the first one, she looks like she is walking CM, great Jamie shots, is it just me or does the shadow one looks like a great dane shadow!! I can't decide this week, I took heaps of pics today we went to the beach then the park and there wa sso many, none absolute stand outs, I only used the old Pana which I love for bashing around with the dogs. 40/52 At the beach With his buddy Scruff With his buddy Mawson

Heres the pics, I was going to post some here but there is just too many and I couldn't choose! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2859...mp;l=67dbb8fa1e.

Oh you missed an excellent walk, the dogs had a ball but they all told me you and your two! Bet your glad you got the lawns out of the way!

Well sounds like you have had an awesome day too! I seen your new additions on face book, they looks very reptily Well done to your dad, great achievement!!

Yea go on!

Well done, they are great shots, lovely dogs!

How did you go this weekend Jess, all good I hope! The beach today was awesome, just checking some of the photos now, I will post some if any are worthy Also met up with Shan and Maws at Albert park after the beach so needless to say I have 4 very tired fur kids who have all had a bath and had tea and have flaked it!! Didn't see you there today JJ, thought you might have come out!

or after midnight! Same, I sold my Rav when I started collecting dogs, it was just too small to fit them all in the back Your place sounds awesome! You know you are a crazy dog lady when everthing you do in every day life revolves around your dogs! People come to you for dog advice. You enjoy shopping in a pet store for doggie stuff rather than your own stuff. You clothes are ratty and the dogs have a wardrobe full of beautiful jackets, leads collars etc You have photos of the dogs around the house instead of family members! The dogs training schedules are more important than social outings! You go out for the evening and have to be home at a reasonable hour for the dogs. The heater stays on in winter while Im at work and the fans in summer, cant have them being cold or over heating. :D You pay more for dog food and treats than your own food! Ah there are so many more I coudl go on all day. I love my dogs, self confessed crazy dog lady here! Y

I only just seen a sign in one of our local milk bars today offering a dog walking service, it is something that I would never ever consider. 4 is quite enough to keep an eye on, Mine don't go far at all off leash but I find myself constantly doing head checks, I don't know how anyone could safely look after any more than that off leash!

Ah it was great, RJ and my Auntie came as well, we did quite a few laps and my feet were killing me afterwards. I had a flat out 6 hours at work today, it's picking up more and more every week and today my offsider was sick so I had to cover him too! Whoops got off the beaten track a bit there, yes the walk was great, you coming tomorow? Anyone else coming tomorow?

Tenties, with or without dogs? if you wanna come to town with dogs, or even without, Albert park is great, there is a big walking track all the way around it, very smooth to walk on and with a few hills but nothing to over the top. I usually take my guys walking every day but we do have mondays off usually as they are usually still buggered from Sundays activities! I do usually go at different times as I have to fit in with work.

Bloody hell, you would have a heart attack if that happened, well I would anyway :D My OH when he was a lot younger before we were together had a big cat that used to bring snakes home!

Another one from me, 4 Very tired Doggies!

I can certainly sympathize it is bloody scary watching your dog in a life threatening situation. Only last Saturday we were out on a walk, all 4 of mine and a friends dog off lead when we came across a snake, my youngest had his nose on it before I realized what it was, I ran like crazy and called Bron and he came strait away thank goodness and then I made lots of noise to get the others to come quickly and not notice the snake on the way past (thank god it was off to the side of the track) I was lucky all of my lot came to me and crisis averted. This is the second snake we have come across the first one was when Cooper was about 6 months old and he ran past it twice but didn't see it, luckily as he is the most curious of my four. I know it is hard to do in the back yard if there is a snake but my best defence has been run the other way, mine will come running if they think Im going without them. Or I have a special word I use in emergencies which I say in a really high pitched voice and they alwasy get treated if the special word has to come out which is not very often, but occasionally I will use it kind of like a fire drill so they don't forget!! :D I have no advice of what to do if a snake comes in your yard and your not home, We have never had one in the back yard but just over the back fence a big brown one sitting on a pile of dirt sunning itself. My lot stay inside when I'm not home. Glad your pup is ok, but maybe you need a still drink to calm the nerves!! I totally know how you feel.

Oh so cute, Happy Birthday Echo!

What a gorgeous girl, she has such a happy face!

Cute Lola, where has she been stickn her nose? :D

More great shot, I'm loving this thread more and more. Shell when I take a shot of my lot with a doggy buddy the buddy is usually always on the outer :D mine will all be in a huddle and the buddy will be off to the side, it's so funny, I should make a compilation of those shots.

Lovely shots.

Is dog pro the one that is ultra cheap. Our local dog food shop gave me a sample bag of it to try a while ago and my lot wouldn't even touch it, not even mixed with their other food, it was always left. I thought it smelled like mowed grass.

Well you will just have to bring Jane, there is no reason while we are training that you couldn't tie one or the other to a nice shady spot close to where we are training. Unlike like my lot being tied up I'm sure yours will be fine? And you could work close to them! We have the beach planned, Deb wanted to know if you would come with us, there will also be a mally and possibly a stafford, Deb wasn't sure of exact breed. Also another lady but nit sure what sort if dog she has. So kilarney beach at 1pm If anyone else wants to join us please do!

:D 7 annonymous readers well 6, one of them is me Hey Tez, you up for a walk after training on Sunday I have a plan....and it does NOT include snakes

No they aren't, I have a friend who has clicker trained her dog and she has been very responsive to it. Maybe I should give it a go? Can you clicker and only use clicker for tricks but not use clicker for obedience? or if I started using a clicker woudl I have to use it for everything I teach then? Mine are pretty responsive so thats why I never bothered with the clicker.
