No worries, gives me something to do when my night always ends early I just didn't expect my night to end that early! Congrats to you all, fantastic job tonight and definitely something to aspire to! :D

Dont lose hope, I never thought one of my girls would do a solid SFE and 2 weeks ago at training with no pracitce, she was perfect, I was so suprised especially as I call her my licky girl, she just cant help herself and has to say hello by a little lick and fully body wag but on this occassion, I gave her the firm command to stay while the trainer did the SFE and she was great, go figure???? Not a fluke eother as she has done it again since. I was a proud doggy mumma, it sure doesnt take much to excite me when it comes to training, I love it when they do good!! Thanks I know we'll get it, she CAN do them, just not reliably every time! We have managed 3 passes which means she did her SFE alright, but now it seems hit and miss again. Hmm one day!

Best of luck We have a trial on over here tonight in Perth, hope it cools down by tonight too! Though I don't think we're going to hit 38 like you guys

I'd agree about eventually going up in classes if someone could deliver me a fully functional SFE :p Damn friendly Labradors

One of mine responds better to verbal, the other responds better to hand signals/body language. They weren't trained in any obviously different way I don't think I like mine to know each type on their own and combined, so it's a work in progress

Millie had no idea how to play when I got her, and she doesn't like many toys now, but the i-squeak got her playing like a dog should! Also turned Ruby into a ball fetching nut, as before she couldn't be bothered

Love that photo of Lewis! Oooh naughty Esky

Tiggy has ordered mediums for her kids Ok, well, confirm the 3 mediums and throw in 1 large just for fun! YAY!! And I wasn't sure but if you need a WA distributor, I'll do it, and I'll even test every ball to make sure they work! Will that involve you catching and squeaking them in your mouth, or your dogs? Ptolomy is in Perth so WA is taken care of

You forgot to mention Ptolomy that 50 of those smalls are for you

I wanna know what that actually looks like Can't wait to find out prices! If they do you a really good deal, I may stock up big time on them, I honestly would be lost without them! Left them at home yesterday and did an impromptu park visit and all I had in the car was an orbee ball and some old squeaker ball that no longer has its squeak (that ball used to be the bees knees until the isqueaks came along!) Neither were particularly interested in bringing these balls back, they'd run after them reluctantly, pick them up, then drop them and go and sniff If it's not an isqueak, it's just not a ball!!

Not showing this weekend (or any weekend ) but have my first obedience trial of the year on Sat night. Will I expect to see any Aussies on display this weekend by any chance?

1. i-squeak ball 2. clicker 3. more i-squeaks!

Yep I'll try to remember to bring the two sizes along on Sunday, or else definitely Tuesday. The mediums are bigger than a tennis ball. I was hoping they'd fit in one of those tennis ball launchers, but it doesn't They need a tennis ball size, because the difference in size between small and medium is ridiculous! I'd hate to see how big the larges are

If they are all for Rosie, I really think the medium would be too large for her. Have a look at mine at agility next week if you want. I only use mine at the park or at training, so no chance to drive neighbours or myself bonkers!

If it turns out cheaper, could I possibly tweak my order a bit?

I think she should become an Australian distributor

I've noticed in my mediums (cos those are what I use the most) that the squeaker bit a the top pops inside the ball a bit, but I can pop it back out again. I don't think that will work forever, though. So I need more of these in case these break! I seriously would be lost without these balls

LOL - now I don't want anybody throwing their i-squeaks at me if their dogs don't love em They can throw them at me - free i-squeaks for my girls!

More popular than you were anciticpating eh, Ptolomy?

I'd like 4 mediums, please! Bugger it, throw in 2 smalls too

Would she be happy with you throwing the reward to her? If I use a ball as a reward I throw it to Darcy to catch which she's just as happy with. I find too many other dogs in class try to get in on the act if there is a squeaky ball thrown. What size are the small i-squeaks in comparison to a tennis ball? I have a few mediums and find them a bit big to handle easily or shove in a pocket. Yes I try to throw it to her to catch, but if she misses, it bounces off her mouth, flies away and off she goes to get it anyway I think I just need to work on this tug thing! I'll use the ball when I need her to drive out, though.

Let me know your address through PM and I'll send you one of my special rabbit fur tugs, haven't failed getting a dog to tug yet. Oooh how much would one of these tugs be and are they really that good? I have started agility with Millie, and she absolutely REFUSES to play tug with me. So I have to utilise the squeaky ball which is all she's crazy for, which isn't ideal because playing with her for reward involves her chasing the ball and running into paths of other dogs Well we haven't failed to get a dog to tug on one yet, see how Micha goes...you n ever know, might be our first fail The standard size which is about 60cm is $14.95 and the long ones for dogs to hang off are $20.00. I've just closed the shop for a little holiday but if you want to try one if Micha is successful I can sell you one. Cool! I will wait and see if huski reports back about Micha and if he has been another success story, I'd love to purchase one from you once reopen shop

Alright that's it, I'm out, I refuse to wear bike shorts Other competitors would be thankful for that

Hey if there is money in that business I'll go into it with you I so need a new job, mine is giving me the royal shytes!!!!! ;) Definitely medium for Micha. I have both medium and small for my Labs, and I feel more comfortable them using the medium as I'm scared in the excitement of catching this bouncing, squeaking most wonderful thing , they'll choke ;) I use the small for training occasionally though as I can hide it in my pocket.
