Beth. Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Hey Everyone!! Well, because i'm on holidays, i've finally done up a video of me and Lottie doing some obedience - we're VERY new to all this (Lottie is my first dog - I didn't even know obedience/agility/dog sports even existed before I had Lottie), and she's still young - just turned 9 months, so be a little gentle on us.... But I always love getting tips/help/comments on ways to improve our training!!! A few things in these clips - my lines aren't straight, some are meant to be like that - kinda getting back into camera shot - and her recall isn't very straight, so we've been working on this.... and lots more... but here's a start..... Oh and I hope the music isn't too annoying.... I was bored... If it is, i won't put it on any future ones!!! hehehe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bupt2cWkmqo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth. Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Awww I love Lottie, she's so lovely How is her back end awareness going? Will you be back at training on Monday night, Beth? Yep I shall be there Her hind end awareness is going really well - but with these exams I've been a little slack, but now she's straight back into it!! Can't wait till Monday night - I really need to do some more training!!! I've been out watching the agility states this weekend, so haven't done too much training today, or probably tomorrow....

RubyStar Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Thanks for the comments on coats - I take it you need to check with the judge if you only want your dog to wear one for the stays? I am talking Victoria cold here - low of 2C and a high of 12C, take a few extra degrees off that for wind chill. So people are welcome to laugh at the "Lab" with a coat on. Her comfort is far more important I agree, if you want her to wear one, do it! I put one on Ruby when I went away for a camping weekend with retrieving folk and didn't care she was the only one with her jacket on I even had her bed at the campfire to lay on, that one got a few giggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huski Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 (edited) Sure you don't They're cute and all... but not my cuppa tea If I didn't have beagles I'm not sure what I'd get... I would love to have a dog that's a breed that is more naturally inclined to work with you, just to know what it's like. I have a soft spot for breeds like GSDs and Dobies, but after meeting Ptolomy and Scoota, I quite like Tollers too!
