:laugh: :D I dare you to do it!!!!

My friends dog is called Cooper and we call him Pooper or Poo Maybe Superpoo Eddie's litter had a theme of glass, but his reg name doesn't match his pet name I love Cosmopolitan, that is gorgeous

If you can only use one name I reckon you should use Sooperdooper

Coopers Brewery is good! I like Super Cooper too!

LP, weren't we doing this for everyone as long as they had trialling in mind? As in those close, aiming for or already started trialling

:laugh: :D

So are Jules and I hiding behind a tree or are we standning out with our pom poms?

I want it all! Being that this is my fault in the first place! lol I'll pm you LP

I've pm'd LL too It sounds great

Oh yay!!!! Good luck for it I migth come watch (don't worry I'll hide til you're finished so I don't scare you lol)

Oh really That would limit the dogs that get entered wouldn't it? Won't this be your first novice too???

Weird, in the calendar it often tells you which months mag the entry details are, but this one doesn't I would ring the club or go to their website and have a look

You know how low the dam is at kcc at the moment I reckon Sway could top it back up

No but Sway pees FOREVER when she pees in the ring!

I don't need to give a command to Ed to get him to stand now, he will do it based on where my body is I love seeing dogs be naughty in the ring!

No one is asking people who prefer to show to obedience title their dogs, and I say obedience in the sport, not just having a well behaved dog If someone obedience trains their dog and it sits in the show ring, you should be happy, it will make your dog look better, so in reality you should be encouraging others to do it

Yeah that shits me, they grab their mouth whille you're still getting in posi, it's so rude, especially with pups who are still getting used to their mouths being touched See thats one thing in obed you would benefit from, the stand for exam

Maybe next time I'll get him to beg then roll over for the judge In regards to the stand command, you know what I've been doing with Ed, if he's in heel position he sits, if I am to the side he stands, no command, just a different body position

Yeah he did, because at that point he hadn't been trained what to do, as it was only his 3rd or 4th show and yeah I was nervous as hell!!! Obedience also includes a stand at the end of a heeling pattern, the dogs stand then In basic everyday walking I want my dogs to sit when I stop, as it is safer, especially at a curb

This one really annoys me! Ed sat at the end of a triangle one show (because I wasn't clear as I was nervous and I had him in heel position lol), he went on to get challenge and inter in group

Oh thats fantastic, everyone did well, must have been the day for it! Ish big :D especially for Chilli

So how'd the trial go?????

Lots and lots of swimming cos it won't put any pressure on his joints Poor bugger, but you're doing everything you can
