Any Tips for training Dingo X ?

I have a new agility beginners class going which is in its 5th week & all going well.  One of the dogs is 7/8 dingo, 1/8 kelpie.  She is a beautiful dog with a lovely nature, VERY high drive & she graduated from Beginners Obedience class.  She gets the zoomies & can sometimes be a little overenthusiastic.  I have lent the owner the RRR Dvd, to try & get her recall a bit more reliable.  Has anybody here had experience with teaching a dingo x agility & maybe might be able to give me a few hints that I can pass onto her handler?

I fostered some Dingo X pups recently... four were 3/4 Dingo, and one almost full Dingo... and they are stubborn! None of them were food or toy oriented, so finding rewards they would work for wasn't much fun...

 

I basically found that if a Dingo doesn't want to do something, it simply won't... lol!

 

Here's hoping your owner's dog has more Kelpie traits...

You could join instagram and talk to Kou's owner, Kou is a kelpie x dingo who does lots of tricks and adventures (good recall) so they may have some insight.

 

When Pigs Fly!: Training Success with Impossible Dogs by Jane Killion might be a good resource, someone in the states with pariah dogs has had success getting ideas from it...
