LisaCC Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Thanks Tikira, I'm really looking forward to working with him as he gets older. Looking extra forward to 10 days after his next injection! I can start walking him more places! He is getting heavy, 5.5kg today! Putting on about 1kg a week. Steph M, I have been doing TOT with Nova, it's pinned either at the top of the puppy thread or the training thread. Getting some nice focus out of him with it.

megan_ Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 oooh, I like her parents - agile and moderate and not from the "bigger is better" school. You will have to post oodles of pictures of her as she grows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has great potential :) She is growing bigger and more awesome every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Thanks guys, I think he is a handsome bugger, and yea Jack I think he knows it too. As my mate says, he's great to carry around because 'he gets all the bitches' Lollipup it's a size Small and sits perfectly, and its on a fairly small setting so hopefully he won't grow out of it as quick! I agree Envy's parents are gorgeous dogs. I'd love a Mal, but not sure if I could handle one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackC Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Koda is on the last hole for his first collar so looking around now for the next one for him, he didn't like this one much and scratches a bit when we walk so might get a softer collar this time around.

LisaCC Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Does it get twisted in Koda's coat? I know Nova is a bit fluffier than Koda, but Nova's coat keeps getting pulled. As soon as he is big enough I'll be getting him a rolled leather collar that should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackC Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 No it hasn't yet, my boys coat though is allot more like his mother than father which is short and dense instead of fluffy and long, I will probably get either a rolled collar or a wide collar.

Zereuloh Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 FINALLY getting some improvement in Tyrion's toileting! We ended up staying up later last night so I didn't crate him till 1.30am he then slept till 5.30am! Crate was completely clean, took him out, he went to the toilet and then slept till 7.30 when the kids and I got up and toileted outside again, and how he is laying near my feet. So excited! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huski Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Envy is so gorgeous! I'm super impressed by Nova again today! Did some short training sessions this afternoon. Working on 'out' with the tug; transitioning from sits, drops, stands; various recalls; and a little bit of shaping with the clicker and he is starting to offer behaviours when the clicker comes out! We did paw to hand targeting and have done a bit of paws on the phone book Sounds like Nova is going to be a superstar! I wouldn't be concentrating too hard on teaching an out command. If you work on this too much with puppies that are still learning to tug it can cause them to have a weaker grip and less devotion to the tug if that makes sense. I am just concentrating on getting Envy very interested in tugging and holding on before I teach the out. Just a tip I picked up from Michael Ellis videos :) I think it depends on your approach to training tug. The out should be one of the most motivating commands for the dog. I always train an out from day one as its part of the game and I definitely don't have any problems with grip or 'devotion' lol. Just my two cents! ETA: I can't remember, did I tell you Envy and Wisdom are related?! :D Re the off switch my Mal has one, she even sleeps on my bed every night! I think it's less about the off switch and more about whether you can live with them when they are on lol. Edited July 12, 2013 by huski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's less about the off switch and more about whether you can live with them when they are on lol. I do train the out as a motivating command as well. But the dog has to have enough motivation for the tug first is all. If Envy is only just starting to have fun with the tug and I start too early teaching her to let go, then I could undo some of that work on building her motivation for it. I found a couple of spots in the Ellis DVDs where he is talking about it and the way he puts it is that if the puppy is outing very easily, do it less. If its difficult, do it more. All depends on the dog. Sounds like Nova already has an awesome drive and grip for the tug so I would teach it straight away to that puppy. No, you didn't tell me they are related! It doesn't really surprise me though. Is Wisdom out of Lilo? The malinois world is so small. I know (over the net) the owners of her grandmother Lilo, her father Tex, her Aunt Talina.... Probably some more I have forgotten too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaCC Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Just wondering if you guys have any experience with the following. Nova was a very cuddly dog (with me only) and would come up and cuddle on my lap all the time (on his own accord), the last 2 days he has been refusing to come over to cuddle, he'll come over and sit down next to me and even then walk away and lay down elsewhere. I think a lot of it is he seems to be over heating a lot (too much puppy fluff!) and wanting to lay on the wood floors but also wondering if it might be a stage he's going through or i'm doing something wrong? It's been a long time since I had a puppy and don't quite remember. I THINK I remember Sam going through a similar stage. He is still happy to see me when I've been out, and happy to play. He did go through a barking stage and being a bit dominant over my housemate which is getting heaps better with small timeouts, and we did try the growling back at him, but apart from that all his training is positive. I'm still carrying him everywhere when we go down town etc so perhaps he is just sick of being on my arms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
