dogdude Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Thanks guys! My thoughts go out to Prodigybxr who was on a terrific score up until the sit stay. The High In Trial would have gone to a double countback had she passed. There was another guy who scored a 195 in my ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arya Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 YAY OSCAR, YAAAY DOGDUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Huge, huge congratulations. I was wondering how you were getting on yesterday. What a FANTASTIC debut and totally totally well deserved. He is a fantastic dog and huge props to you for doing that. Getting high in trial with that helluva score at his first trial. I think that deserves a big from all of us. Seriously, that was brilliant. PRODIGYBXR, my thoughts go out to you too and I really feel for you that that happened. You are such a fantastic trainer to have your dog work the way you do and it would be hard for your poor little one after what happened at Knox. Better luck next time... you know how many times I had to say that to myself LOL. Hope to see you both at Southern!!! Wish I could have been there yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybeece Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hehe love the photos in this thread, they look so proud of themselves Once again, mine's not that impressive, but my boy passed up a class at school on the weekend. Even better is that he's all but completely stopped barking at other dogs from the car and he's met the stare of other big dogs a couple of times lately and looked away! He also stood a couple of metres away from a rottie the other day, no reaction whatsoever even though they were almost facing each other. So doesn't sound impressive, but for a dog who never used to look away he's doing well! He's also not getting as worked up as he used to and is more willing to come away from whatever is upsetting him so he's beginning to really "get" it. I finally feel like what I've been doing with him is working and when the instructors at school say he'll get there eventually I actually believe them now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could have been there yesterday Houston, we have a problem :rolleyes: Thanks for the commiserations, dogdude and Arya!! These things happen. She's dropped 3 times in a row now, so this week I have joined a club(or two, actually ) to do groups, to hopefully help her overcome it. See you guys at Southern if it's not hot!

glorybea Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 HI dog dude I just heard the news FANTASTIC ,a times we think 'WHAT ARE WE DOING' and then this and it is always the boost we need ,keep it a going Glorybea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) Another mindless brag from me. Last night at agility training - we have gone up to the highest class now - as we have been trialling for a bit and gained titles/ passes etc . This means rather than running/ breaking down novice/ excellent courses, we run/ breakdown higher scale excellent/masters courses (and maybe some games ) We had a masters course set up last night with quite a few nigglies around - 2 jumps next to each other and the tunnel/dogwalk discrim (note: I have one of the worlds *biggest* tunnel suck dogs!)... I've been doing a bit of work with him; some ideas I got from the In Focus Need For Speed DVD and Gina O'Keefe's low drive/ high drive seminar - i've noticed the improvement too! Anyway - back to the point. I was most impressed that my dog ran a CLEAR round (multiple times!), not to mention, quite a fast run too, around the masters course! Nobody believed me when I said he hasn't passed out of Novice yet :p. What's more is my little velcro dog also did an 'out' and layering (weavers) to allow me to handle the final jumps with minimal 'fluffing' around :D But what I was most proud of was he did the discrim between the tunnel/ dogwalk - and I didn't have to do any blocking, redirecting or anything like that - he *listened* and did the said obstacle I asked for :cheer: Go Leo, Go Leo :p Fingers crossed for this weekend. In an act of stupidity we entered our first open obedience trial ... I need to start picturing what he CAN do, not what he may stuff up Edited November 13, 2007 by leopuppy04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdude Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I'm sure you guys will do great, you and Leo are a fantastic team. With the level of focus that you have with him, not too much should go wrong. I cant wait to be competing in Open. There are some great trainers to pit your skills against (and learn off) Best of luck to you Leopuppy, Arya, Prodigybxr at Southern, and anyone else attending (Glorybea?)

Arya Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 GO LEO! What a great team you are LP and Leo and you're sure to go great this Sat. Yep, Glorybea is in Southern too Dogdude. I am not pinning my hopes on too much as my girl has gone troppo in the ring I don't know why. But, I will follow the routine and feeding routine and little tricks I used at Eastern EXACTLY and we got a pass last time so at very least, it will be a test to see if those left of centre tricks really worked or if it was a fluke. And we're still having fun with those post games too which have made the post a great place to be Let's hope all DOLers do great at Southern. At very least it is now not going to be a hot day, so will be a great day out to catch up with everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 A tiny little brag from last weekend in that Miss Beans can now be called excellent Beans since she got her last leg for her excellent jumping title. Then in her first masters agility run she went clear and finished 5th Amazing really since Beans only started trialling in April this year and really doesn't have the skills to be running in masters. Now fingers crossed that in 2 weeks time we can change her name to Ch Beans........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) Go Ch Beany baby in the making - guess who might be going over to help celebrate (my jackpot if I am good ). Ooops did I say that. My baby brag is that after Ness was stressed out of her mind before evening entering the ring in Open at our "final" obedience trial for the year on Saturday evening I took her back out to the same grounds (happens to be our club) for a UD ring session last night and she worked bloody brilliantly. She has the majority of her exercises down just fine. Not bad for a dog I was going to give up on obedience with this time last year. All the other much more experienced dogs were making errors and Ness just hit the ground running. All with no yelling or shouting or forcing my dog to do the exercises (unlike all the other dogs out on the grounds that evening) .
