The Spotted Devil Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hastings dog club is a bit further away but is good value. I used to train there several years ago before I moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensmyst00 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Rotti Club in Wednesday's is very good. From what I understand there used to be obedience at Kcc an thursdays but due to lack of participation it was discontinued. Only show training on Thursdays now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Try Pro K9 - Erny on this forum (who is really a woman named Judi). Lol - thanks Megan. I have thought to changing my name so gender was a bit more obvious and explanation wasn't felt to be necessary, but I've had the name from the get-go here on DOL and I do confess there's a certain sentimental attachment that goes with it as a result. Appreciate your post though. Skunk - Pro-K9's training school is 3klms north of KCC Park (on same side of road). Feel free to call me if you would like to have a chat about what we are about and what we do. 0419 204 023 or 9707 1424 Cheers Erny (a girl, lol) aka Judi :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murve Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Hey Skunk so where have you decided to train your baby?? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skunk Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 ended up going to the western port obedience dog club for puppy classes. had the first lesson today. wasnt too bad but i didnt really expect anything full on as its for puppies. i guess its mainly for them to socialize with other dogs etc. we did go thru the basics like sit, touch, stand & drop, also some loose leash walking. very happy with sundae as even the instructor commented on how calm & responsive she was. apparently puppies are allover the place especially on their first day during puppy school due to all the different smells & sights etc. sundae did abit of that but overall was responsive to the commands. (think she loved the treats lol) once we have finished with puppy school ill most likely go to pro k9 for further training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skunk Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 lol when u see this on sunday morning u wont think its normal..its so big it looks far from normal but the vet has assured me not to worry about it & it will go away. main thing is its not causing her any pain or discomfort. no change in her behavior whatsoever either lol still naughty n playful as ever.

Erny Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 What does your Vet mean by "joint capsule" Skunk? And Murve - why is it quite normal for Dobes to have an affected joint capsule? I know that dogs can have vaccine reactions and I know that for black and tan dogs this can be worse, but I thought that was a soft tissue reaction, not a joint reaction, which is why I'm interested.

skunk Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 hi enry, he said its her skull plates or something along the lines of that. he did say he had seen heaps some worst than others & theres nothing to worry about as long as there wasnt any "heat & pain". i will obviously be keeping an eye on this, hopefully it goes away soon. she looks pretty weird lol..

Erny Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Thanks Skunk. So no relationship to the vaccine? I've not heard of skull plate causing really large lumps at the back of pup's heads (I presume it is a growth developmental thing), although perhaps my imagination is building this to be a bigger picture than it is.
