Ons Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 can anyone recommend any? Pup is only 5 days old at the moment so plenty of time but when I get her at 8 weeks old I want to start a little bit of age appropriate training straight away with the view when she is about 18 months old starting her on agility. There really isn't an agility dogtraining place nearby unless the localish dog training club has changed. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Susan Garrett's Success With One Jump Susan Garrett's 2 x 2 Weave DVD if you plan on using that method to teach weaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The books agility right from the start or shaping success come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ons Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Ons...............................................I think you forgot to share puppy news whoops, I kind of hinted on Facebook. ;) ;) one little coolie coming my way having been to the National Trials at Tamworth I thought how much fun it would be and my friend who breeds coolies is very encouraging as it gets her dogs "more out there". I have my eye on one little girl that is dark chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate coloured she is gorgeous but I do have a pick of 8 from that litter and 10 from another litter. thanks everyone, I'll do some searching maybe I should also ask how would you choose a pup with agility in mind? My plan is in a few weeks to spend a day with the pups and see who is the most responsive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ons Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Sheena, I note that you are from Northern NSW. I'm from North West NSW near Tamworth. Am I anywhere near you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pandii Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I have no experience in Trailling or agility yet Ons But....... I have choosen a pup that is showing a fair amount of focus and outgoingness I have let my breeder know what I want and if my pup doesnt measure up as it grows in the first 8 weeks he will pick another pup more suitable for me Ons, Message me on FB and let me know the breeder please, we can shar waiting for puppy news together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agility Dogs Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 how would you choose a pup with agility in mind? My plan is in a few weeks to spend a day with the pups and see who is the most responsive That's a good plan, but for me - I know that I wouldn't be able to select the best so I chose a breeder I trusted and asked her for the 'right' puppy. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 how would you choose a pup with agility in mind? My plan is in a few weeks to spend a day with the pups and see who is the most responsive Conformation - will help keep a dog sound Confidence/resilience - a pup that bounces back from being startled is a good indicator People focus Drive As you have access to the whole litter, I'd suggest Volhard Puppy Testing them at 7 weeks. That's basically a test of social confidence. The results may help you select the right pup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheena Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Sheena, I note that you are from Northern NSW. I'm from North West NSW near Tamworth. Am I anywhere near you? We are over near Coffs Harbour, on a cattle farm. We came out to Tamworth for their trials last year including the ADAA Grand Prix & then spent some time up at Manilla, where OH went paragliding. It looked like so much fun I want to do it next year, even though I have a phobia about heights :D Clean Run have a new DVD on free postage at present...it is a six DVD set on Foundation Training for just $74.95. If I didn't already have a bookcase full of DVD's then I would buy it.....I am still tempted Here's the link http://www.cleanrun.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...p;ParentCat=449 A good book to get before you choose your pup would be The Focused Puppy, also on free postage. I have the book, but honestly, I think I will just have to trust the breeder to choose one for me, when I get my new pup (can't wait) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rileys mum Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Sheena : I was looking at getting that DVD set too. I've not purchased from them before. Do we Aussie folk just pay the price listed? Do we need to convert payment amts re exchange rate?? I couldn't find anywhere that did that on the site *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
