ahhh never thought of that... i could use one to keep my kids away from me...lol

aww jakey auntie simone is very proud of you, toby is jelous he wants to get out there too. dodge just said naaa cant be botherd mum u know im not that agile id rather sit here and be a fat labrador and do nothing...lol huh i have news for you my boy.. anne are u and the boys up for a run tonight if the rain holds off...??

lol dodge would be in that,, he loveees to swim...

we will have to get together soon as im feeling a bit like that at the moment too. just been so busy etc.. kids been sick bla bla bla.... i know probably an excuse and me being lazy but just dont have the motivation to do dog training at the moment. need some inspiration too...

awww poor connor hugs and kisses and sloppy licks from toby.toby is waiting for him to get better so he can come down and play soccer again.

there are so many ways and what works for one may not work for another i guess u have to find what works for your dog... black dog gear is fantastic tho i am very happy with it so far...

awwwwwwwwwwwwwww no fair..... well we will just have to come to u then... toby is ready and rearing to go...lol

aww sam hes just beautifulllll looks so cool in his little saddle bags.. ill try get there with dodge, is it same time as last time? see if dodge has more interest in it this time , he ran for half of it and then gave up when it got stuck so he went and talked to all the people on the side lines instead, and left jake to run after it. jake of course was s star and loveeed it...

i have strong boof lab who lovees to pull and lunge i have had great sucess with the black dog infin8 halti... with that u can take the nose strap off so getting back to a flat collar it is more of a martingale collar with a nose strap which only comes into force if the dog pulls hard. so better IMO for a dog with sensative muzzle or doesnt like the tight strap around the muzzle.. go to http://www.blackdog.net.au/main.html and check out therere products they are great.. hope this makes sence i have a hadache and 4 screaming kids and a baby bird that needs feeding..lol but look at the site you will get better idea of how they work..

sad for the little one,, he was happy for his last weeks with a beautifull family spoilt lots... fly free little one rip.

yeahhhh i hope so hedds will be great to meet her... hoping i can make it to the next one and dodge finds the lure more interesting than the people on the side line...lol..... yeah for nat moreeeeee pics,, thanks.. you know we luv ya

i found it the same as you Yb ... the verandah is like running the gauntlet...lol if u have either an aggressive or a timid dog it makes it pretty hard... there are some great trainers there dont get me wrong but also some not so good ones . personaly i didnt like their training methods, and altho they have great grounds i wouldnt go there..

maybe try wiping ur benches down with a cleaner or water with eucalyptus oil in it as well to deter from that spot... i havent had any real problems with this behavious my lab did try it but he now understands what no means...

lol here i am trying to describe to my hubby how it all works only to come on DOL and find an in depth decription on how a lure thingy is made... and way to go.... me thinks we need to make one it was great to watch a think a few more runs and dogs will get the idea of it.,, the fact that he was sitting round in the sun and lost amost of his enthusiasum byt he time he ran doesnt matter we still had fun... was good to catch some DOLers and have a chat.. look forward to the next one in feb must be more organised and have another couple of runs..

come on with the pics just quickly popped on to see if anyone took some.... ... come on come on u know how impatient we all are nat?? shinji???? anne??? of course i forgot my camera... for the 3rd dol outing i forgot cant beloive it... but i was escaping the house from screaming 6 year old child and in a bit of a rush... well dodge got it for half the run then he lost it and realised that there were people looking on at the fence so decided to go check them out instead..lol was a nice day tho..

looking forward to seing DOler and their dogs... dodge will have no manners possibly embarras me and may not know what to do... but oh well he might give it a try.. either of us have never seen it before ..

aww how sad to hear this news i was wondering aboutt he little pup yesterday and now i found out.... poor little bubba life sux sometimes... he is pain free now and resting knowing u did all u can for the lil one...my thoughts are with you

rest peacefull old boy... thinking of u mel must be so hard....

yep definatly yogi need to get dodge out there and willgive toby a break for a bit... whens the next class starting??????????????? soon i hope... if we havent worn you out yet.?

awww well its not her fault she is an absoloute sweety... just adorable.... can i have her?...lol na joking... she will do well with you, shes an excitable pup thats all. ,toby wasnt being to good on wednesday but i did forgoive him he did do a few things i think he is at the stage where he needs to be turned out for a while and be a pup,, i can see the look on his face like ohh mummm give me a break pleaseee, im growing and im teething its all just to much right now..lol i am pleased with him and so so thankfull to stella for summer school and giving us such valuable information, encouragement, advise,and understanding. also for being so great with the kids and encouraging them.. so thank you again stella for this opertunity to train with you look forward to more training with toby and dodge in the future with you. thanks everyone for such a fun group of great dogs and trainers.... simone and toby
