Sorry to those on my facebook who might have already seen this, but just wanted to share this photo Bummed that it's a bit blurry! Taken with my new phone so I expected a little more from it from indoor photos! Oh well!

I'd hate to say it, but I really do think there is something wrong with you. Have you seen your doctor recently?

You're not trying Ptolomy - I put mine in - $371 .... and who said anything about "need" $285 here and I don't NEED anything, either. Well, just a few things are a need.... ;) Why was I ever concerned about needing to combine an order with someone?!

Can't wait! See you all soooon!! I got til 2.30pm without food in my belly (was too busy to eat) and thought about just waiting til dinner to stuff more in, but caved and had a bread roll. Still hungry so I will have no shame making a piggy of myself tonight :D

Crossing fingers for you amypie

Oh really? I didn't realise That is pretty funny and disturbing at the same time! As Aussies, we get truly ripped off, even when the product is Aussie made! I got one from Better Pets and Gardens when I had $30 of vouchers, so it only cost me about $10 cos I also get 10% discount with them. Otherwise there is no way I would have bought one over here! Not that I really use it....

I am still using my original i-squeaks I purchased in 2009. There are no holes, and only recently have the squeak in 2 of them stopped working. The other 2 still squeak. My dogs used to get them thrown at the park A LOT and they've held up, now they rarely get them at the park and get used in training a fair bit (being Labs, I find it truely amazing that they would prefer to work for an i-squeak over food!!! Seriously!!!) I have a stack more in my cupboard that haven't been used yet and I'm waiting until these ones truly die before I dig them out. They do feel slightly different to my originals, I just hope the quality hasn't gone down as the popularity has risen! I am going to order a couple more to keep my stocks up ;) ;)

That's OK Divas Mum.....I have been reading the posts & having a chuckle at you girls & OH is telling me I am sinfull for even mentioning it I hav't told him yet that I have gone through it & ticked everything I ever wanted......now to do some eliminating I save him sooooo much money by never missing a sale I check their site every week for anything new they might throw on the free shipping page so I am always doomed! I got online yesterday morning, remembering I am in Perth so there is a 2-3 hour time difference, and I had an email about it, stuff on facebook about it, then here. I think DOLers are one of their best customers as we keep enabling each other

EVERYTHING is cheaper there than here AND the dollar is still in our favour Those DOOG walkie belts are like $45 here. Kong products here are almost triple the price, too! Great time to stock up on Kong stuff if you like them!

My dogs like anything that squeaks, thanks! :p

I am going to get these but tossing up between regular and large. I have Labs but leaning towards the smaller one as it still take 1 cup of food which is more than enough (I think!) What size do you have experience with? Any idea if the hole where the food comes out is the same size in both sizes?

I started off with general purpose stuff, all the small and lower priced items that are handy to have but not worth getting due to insane shipping prices. So stocking up on them now, I have added more clickers, pvc end caps, jump cups, vet wrap, cable ties, and I want to try those lock laces so have added the knot bone lace lock as well as the lock laces themselves. I am also getting the tailgate ventlock And then some slip leads, toys, kongs, etc No big priced items except the ventlock at $20 which is the most expensive in my cart, but boy it adds up! I'm almost at $300 and seriously need to cull some stuff!!!!! Want to get the shade cloth panel too but still trying to decide!

I was going to say thanks, but maybe not! Didn't realise they were so expensive I'm already at $250 Admittedly, a small fraction of that is stuff for Pippa too, but not a lot

I went through everything (or so I thought) and didn't see the shade panels. Can you please provide a direct link as I'd like one to put over my car in trials. Thanks!

i-squeaks, kong wubbas and kong wobblers are on my definite list! I have a lot on that shopping list right now that I might have to cull.....

Ditto Amy, I'm just about at the $200 mark when I was only anticipating spending about $50 and combining an order with someone! Very scary when you can do your very own order and still get free shipping

Has anyone used a target stick for training a small breed? I'm not yet convinced about how good they may be, for things such as heeling. Wouldn't the dog become reliant on that as a cue and then when you remove it they won't know the behaviour? Thinking of new ways to tackle training little Pippa the mini schnauzer. Clean Run have a target stick combined with a clicker that I was thinking about getting, it's only $14.95. Thoughts anyone?! http://www.cleanrun.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_id=746&ParentCat=277&string=clip

Clean run Christmas Miracle!!!!! Not good for the bank balance, though Some doggies are going to have a very Merry Christmas!!!!! Do we think orders will arrive before Christmas if we order in the next few days? Or there might be a delay due to the amount of orders they will be swamped with? Hmmmm

Your card is initially "hit" with the amount but it hasn't actually been processed. When it gets processed, the correct amount will be debited So Clean Run haven't actually debited your account yet and don't need to credit you back, they will just process it at the correct amount. So when your credit card transaction description turns from something like "transaction authorised" (can't remember off the top of my head what the wording is) to what the transaction actually was, the new amount will show. Sorry I can't explain it more technically than that!

I was praying for a Christmas miracle - I think it worked!!!!

Best of luck, Nik!! When is it?

I did a bit of CG purely for the crate sense. Just wanted the dogs to want to get into their crates and to wait in it while I open the door and wait for a release cue. But like with everything, I didn't watch the entire DVD I haven't used it for anything agility or training related, but just for management of the dogs when I train. More of a manners thing. I don't mind SG's concepts and training DVD's, but I'm not a groupie and I use a bit of this and a bit of that from a variety of trainers. Whatever works for me and my dogs! Haven't really seen any of her marketing stuff as I don't seek it out, but it sounds a bit full on. Oh well, it's her business and good on her!

Exactly, we're basically it for WA retrieving DOLers.

All the best boxagirl!!!!

Ah geez MG, what nasty thing did you do in a previous life to have all this grief with your dogs?! Hope he's ok
