dogdude Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I didn't realise there was the ANKC thing. I'm glad it's not just me Jenicol. This is another reason why I don't enjoy competing, all the 'stuff' people go on with. "Those who can, do, and those who can't, criticise". Hi Michelle3 Not sure about the Schutz world, but obedience trialling has very few "critics" going around. The competitors know all too well how easy things can go against them, and most have been down that path on many occasions. Other competitors are more likely to cheer you on rather than knock you,...........cause they can then grill you for "secrets" I find other competitors are more likely to criticise themselves before anyone else. You can own an obvoiusly supreme show dog, and afford to have a big mouth............but you can own the worlds best trialling dog, and you can never hide a bad day with him,......nor afford to be able to shoot off your mouth about others. I would guess Schutz more so, because it is a very small training world. Which dvds did you order??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which dvds did you order??? hiya, I didn't have to go through and order any in the end, someone very kindly offered to copy some for me. They are the balabanov (sp) ones. I emailed my local library a couple of days ago and they going to see what's at the state library they can order up for me. I gave them the names everyone here had suggested I told them I would take whatever they might have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdude Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Good choice. I'm following his dvds atm. My dog is responding great to his methods so far. They do not go into bite work or tracking though. Just the basic methods that you can use for obedience etc. I really hope he brings out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsaw Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Where can you get the Ivan Balabamov DVD's from? I haven't tried any libraries yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdude Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 You can buy them from dogwise.com They are pretty expensive though, and your best bet is getting someone to make you a copy. Mine are bad copys, and I need some new ones too. If you rack up over 100 posts on dol, you can join the book/dvd borrowing list. They are there. (pinned to the top of the "general" thread.)
