  1. I am in the same stage as you trying to get ready to enter a trial, and am a bit confused at how do you transfer a dog into your name? I am about to send in my membership application for the ACT, and the pedigree is signed on the back but am unsure if I need to wait in till I am registered and then do something or if I can send the pedigree along with my membership.
  2. In relation to what mine is currently doing A shriek of Shelties
  3. When your bed isn't properly fluffed and the humans are to busy laughing at you to fix it
  4. A fair number of uni students stay either on res or rent/share an apartment which doesn't allow pets, so they can't go home at the end of a hard day and relax with a puppy.
  5. Still haven't figured out here how the 9kg Sheltie takes up more room then the 40kg Lab
  6. What was the reason why you stopped training your dog? A bit of it was lack of time but with contributing factors. One dog he is at the level in both obedience and agility where control off leash is a necessary requirement which at the moment he does not have and so to be fair to the class mates and so I am not constantly getting annoyed at him he was pulled out. With the other dog he stopped going to obedience due to lack of time and as while he excelled at somethings he could not do some of the requirements to pass and I am not sure he will be able to get them without a lot of work which goes back to the time aspect. Do you feel your dog is well trained enough? One knows lots of behaviors but lacks control, the other yes to get bye Did you not get results from previous training attempts? We got some results and both dogs and I did learn lot Is training too far away/ too often/ too expensive? No Did you find training boring? No when I went with well behaved dogs I enjoyed it. What would prompt you to start training again or would you not start training again regardless? Free time when the class times are and some motivation to make some more effort with them
  7. Pedal bowl and cat flip bowl brings up an options in google though not sure if any of them are avaliable in australia
  8. Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew any come and try type days or anything that would be suitable for a 2yr old Shetland sheepdog that has never seen stock and a completely novice handler. I am located in the ACT but don't mind traveling. We are having a little trouble finding anything ourselves as the two numbers I had been given do not do Shetland sheepdogs.
  9. Can you please link me to this page?? I cant find it would love to see it! Here you go :D http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/108730-those-crazy-labradors/
  10. Yes that was how my sheltie was initially vacinated around one and a half years ago, it ment when he was with us he only recived a 10 week needle rather then 10 and 16. There where no ill effects with him.
  11. Could you continue to go each week but if your dog is uncomfortable stand on the outer edges of the class to create some distance if needed working some distance away from the group. Discussing with the insturcter and asking them to give your dog some distance when working for the time being. For stand for exam's I would hesitate to continue with full on stand for exams straight away and at least with this insturcter, I would do as adviced and reinforce each stage of the stand for exam again, working up to where your dog is comfortable enough to do a complete stand for exam at a distance with this instructer. You might not be able to achieve this but you can work towards it in the time frame you have. When not busy doing an exercise or before or after class if the the insturcter has time work on the issue of them being uncertain of the male instructer. This way you can still get the insturcters experiance and exercises.
  12. I ordered 2 last time they where up and recived two medium dog print. The dogs aren't giant fans but they are still new so we will see if they end up becoming favourites, hopefully freeing up the human beanbags for human use The medium is 91cm x 91cm
  13. Similar list to last year with the hope that we can cross at least a few things off this year Deakin: CCD Title Pass in novice jumping Consistent and independent weaving ET improve focus and off lead control Watson: 5 min sit and drop stay Train in agility Stable stand for exam Me: Register Deakin so he CAN trial! Keep training short, sweet and fun for everyone increase fitness and balance to keep up
