It's so funny when they start offering tricks to you! I am always telling OH off as he will reward them for offering though, grrr!!!

I make up my own, they do so well on it that I haven't even tried the patties

I'm so sorry for your girl At least she had a great 12 months being loved by you

Mine are completely food motivated, but sounds like you are doing the right thing with the toy, as long as the click is at the right time and the tug comes just after Well done!!!! Very cute bow!!!

Thanks guys She had 6 months longer than anyone thought she would, and she was happy til the end

We lost little Star last night She came to us at 2 1/2 years old with her sister to be rehomed, about 4 months ago She had a tomour which couldn't be operated on that was the size of a golf ball In the months she lived with us the tumour grew twice the size yet she still played and ate and climbed like a loony She was a fighter

Yeah I knew about the Dandenong one but the $$ are an issue at the moment! :rolleyes:

I wish I was, I bet it will be fantastic!

Yeah but you have to dance with the dogs! Start practising your rock steps!!!

Yeah Molly is keen! The video seems to be a little out of sinc with the audio, but she is also very fast! And she just throws herself into it! She is a funny bugger You will love freestyle, and trick training, you can't stop laughing the whole time!!!

haha yeah they are as adorable as they are insane!!! Oh, I taught a young girl at training today to get her anatolian shepherd to roll over, it was so gorgeous!!! And she picked it up really fast, clever girl, was laying on her side within 2-3 goes and rolling over after about 10 goes The girl was wrapt too, and it was fun for me, I've never taught anyone anything before!!!

I have 2 dogs and 3 cats We introduced Ed as an 8 week old pup to the cats We clipped the ends of their claws off with human nail clippers, which was easy to do, to save any injuries Eddie is completely fine with the cats Molly was introduced at 8 months, on a lead, she still chases them abit but is getting there The cats always have somewhere to get away, to jump up to, and they have a baby gated room to run away to Oh and good luck with training, it will be fun!!!

lol I may have a video of me when I get it, the camera battery died on Friday night after our routines so we haven't seen them yet If it looks any good I will show you In the thread in training called "roll over" I just put some vids of them doing waves and roll overs, whcih are part of the routine if you want to see!!!

OK, Eddie doing roll over and some waves Molly strutting her stuff She is very enthusiastic

No probs Mrs D, I love doing it with Molly! I hadn't heard of it until a few months ago when one of the girls at obedience was showing me some tricks that her dog can do, I was impressed and she told me about freestyle Its great because the dogs really enjoy it

Molly's song is Jet, Are you gonna be my girl It really suits her

Here is a site with more clips The thriller one is cool http://www.k9freestyle.co.uk/video%20clips.htm

Oh no, my dogs are deprived, they only have a leather trianing one and a cheapy nylon one for swimming! I'd like to see the ebay store too

Yeah, its so much fun! The dogs really love it I have a few links at home to really good stuff, will rememeber to find it later today

Yep Canine freestyle, classes are in Dandenong [email protected] We have just finished this lots of classes so the new timetable has just come out, email Sue and she can send you info We did our routine (a few little tricks with heeling) last night and Molly did very well (however I got lost a few times hahaha) but it was great fun There is also a yahoo group, email here: [email protected]

Oooh valerian sounds good for me and the brats! lol

Oh she's so cute!!!! ;)

Wow, Aus, thankyou ;), some great advice which I will take on, I think with all the pressure of "competition" it is easy to lose the real reason for training

Be a good idea, as you won't be stressed as you know you don't need it, and then you can compare vids to see

She's still young, sometimes it just takes a while, and then just when you think they've got it, they have a slip up!!! I would still try a crate, it is their bed, different to the carpet
