Ptolomy Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Obedience is now right outside where the show dogs are so you can't get lost! and Yes Strauss is entered in obedience not showing. although he would probably do better if I had it the other way around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparkyTansy Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 hey everyone! i hope you had a nice day - such lovely weather!! Just a quick brag that I entered Lulu in the final track of the season, and she passed with a grading of Very good! I only started training her about 5 weeks ago because i could no longer do field work and thought why not. She was a replacement entry for Ari who came into season and well lets just say I wasn't exactly expecting her to pass!! so VERY proud!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyStar Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Well done, ST!! Way to go, Lulu! 5 weeks training too I still would love to try tracking, maybe in another life I'll get a chance to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparkyTansy Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 RS the awesome thing about tracking is that while it's better to start them young, you can start them at any age. A friend of mine started her 9yo weim at the same time as her young bitch, and he sailed through his tracks, passed every single one and gained his champ title this season... her young bitch is stuck on track 5! Thing is she only started her older boy because she didn't want to leave him at home alone!! anyway, so maybe once you are done with all your other pursuits with your girls you can try tracking :) Thanks everyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 ST my nearly 12 year old passed her track 2 this season and missed out on her track 3 though . Hoping she is still up for the challenge next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 that's fantastic Ness! it's amazing how easy it is for dogs. it's definitely more about us and learning how to read them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Yeah I suspect the reason she failed her track 3 was me :laugh:. The oldie is also entered in the Rally-O trial in a few weeks time . Edited September 17, 2012 by ness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Is it easier or harder to train 2 dogs for it at the same time? How hard is it to find someone to lay tracks for each other? Are there new people starting out who can't find someone to help and lay tracks for each other and seem to drop out? My biggest struggle is finding a training partner in other sports, and this is one sport where you probably can't get far at all without someone else. Would love to try Millie on it, I think she'd really enjoy it - but I wouldn't want to leave Ruby out either, as she already gets left out often of the agility training side of things. If I don't make it back to retrieving next season, maybe I could give tracking a go :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) RS - Tassie mostly lays her own tracks for her own kids. I think the first time Rory tracked anybody else was at his track 1. I was training both of mine but found it a little tricky as they both tracked differently and I was finding it hard enough to get my head around 1 dog never mind 2. Having 2 though means you can always go and set one track for dog 1, then go off and lay a track for dog 2 and then come back and run dog 1 on their track then dog 2 on their track .
