thanks,she is a stunner i know! Wink

she has been such hard work ive put everything into her to get her where she is now, even tho she is still a little baddy!

i dont think kia would like flyball either she would run through the jumps not over them and end up knocking the thrower thingy over too! Rolling Eyes

when you an rocky start agility it will also help him to ignor other dogs and concentrate more on you,thats what i found with kia but she still has her moments Rolling Eyes

like yesterday walking through the park trying to practice heelwork for starting our new obedience class tonight, instead of kia looking at me she was looking everywhere but me! trying to run off and play with the people walking towards us! Very Happy

Well I know Rocky loves jumping(considering a few months ago it took me ages to get him to step over a log)i have been making him jump obstacles in the house and teaching him over and he has been leaping non stop and loving it he does deep down love being trained(for the treats i guess)but due to his maleness when we are out and about he gets distracted too quickly,but i seriously can't wait till we start agility in the nicer weather i am really looking forward to it9more than Rocky lol) Rolling Eyes

Working Trials is great fun. I did a few Trials a couple of years ago with my Jack. Laughing

There is nothing like walking behind your dog on a track and watching them work.

My proudest moment with Lottie was comppeting with her in snow!! She's 10" and the must have been a good 4/5" of snow!!!!! She work her little socks off and got round the track with both articles. Sadly she failed the search square because her nose was so cold after the track, she couldn't smell anything!!!!!

Hi there, i think i have spoken to you before when we first got out german shepherd bobbie, i dont know if you remember she had bad eyes. well she is 14wks old and eyesight fine.
she is a fast learner, she sits on command and sits at kerbs with out prompting and walks well on the lead but not too good on the lead. she is not too bad but i am trying to get her to walk to heel. she is coming along but when we get near to home she really does pull and starts bouncing around. also we are teaching her down, and after 4 goes at it she did it and will do it nearly every time she is told. she is still chewing everything and chewed a few wires but luckily they were not plugged in. i scared to leave her as i am afraid she is going to chew through electrical wires.
is there anything else i can do with her to keep her busy and interested so she doesnt get bored as i think maybe that is why she chews when we are out. we dont go out a lot without the dogs but i went out for half an hour and when i came home it looked as though we had been burgled.
would appreciate any help with this as we have never had a shepherd before and its a long time since chap was a pup. he is 17. thanks
carol.
