Been away for a while but wanted to say that I specifically wanted Callie to measure small as she is right on the cusp and depending on how she stands the measure either is flat or floats around 5mm or 1/10 of an inch from the floor, were not talking a massive amount. I would not want her...

Pip was £750, fully health tested agility parents etc from London not Shetland though!

With my Cocker I successfully got her to measure lower for agility, she was right on the border between Kennel Club Small (35cm) and Medium (35+). I got her to lie down, then stand using a motion which meant her feet stayed still and her body swung up. Making sure her head was level and not...

Hello all, Pip is growing all the time, I swear when I come home from work he is bigger! He is now 3.8kg. Here is a video of playing in the house and back garden :biggrin2: he is my smarty pants he loves his ball. EB Pip at 14 weeks

The third routine was in my opinion not as good as the first two. It didn't help that the seesaw was put the wrong way round in her victory performance, thank goodness ITV don't do Crufts! Ashleigh is an amazing dog trainer especially at 16. Pudsey is an Agility Champion and competes...

You could teach her to "Hide/Say her prayers" it consists of her putting her two front paws on your arm/chair and then ducking her head in the gap between her front legs a bit likebowing her head to say her prayers it can be done at full standing stretch or in a sit depending on the height of...

Though I said I'd only be doing this with the girls Pip decided he wanted in and during play offered paw all by himself, used my marker word and high value reward. Did a few repeats holding my hand out infront of me and marking/rewarding paw on hand. Then switched hands (and OH delivered...

Hi All, I've just started with crate games with Pip, we spent a good while on it making sure we got all of the stages (up to stage 3 yer out, yer in) and have stumbled upon a problem I was wondering if anyone could help. He won't come out of the crate on the "Ok" command. I have a feeling...

Can I join in with my Cocker and Setter? It sounds like a brilliant idea but unfortunately Pip's daily food and treat allocation is all used up for the basics at the minute (walking nicely, down, sit and crate games).

Going through the same thing at the moment with my Pip, he is 11weeks now and he seems to have got the idea for pooing but for pees he has a whole different learning curve! I took him to agility training last night to meet all the dogs before class he sat in his crate in the car for an hour...

Pip has his first class on friday hopefully there won't be any bullies there! Sorry Julip had to put up with that it isn't on those bullies were meant to be there learning to behave and not having anyone there to show them the rules means they probably didn't learn much either. I've always...

Pip is doing wonderfully on the Orijen, it does seem like some people said that I'm not feeding very much (looking at it it seems very little) but he is growing so quickly! He came home 3weeks ago weighing 1.5kg now he weighs 3.0kg he isn't "fat" but has enough cover to make me think healthy...

My understanding was Frontline takes (according to the packet and website) up to 2days to kill a tick and 19hours to kill fleas so unfortunately it isn't going to completely ensure that the ticks don't get on the dog and manage to bite them? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick... In which...

Pip is really having fun now he has been home 2 weeks. He has put on 1kg in that time (the greedy blighter) and he is looking more and more like a Sheltie. He has found his feet with Callie and they are enjoying playing more and more together in his mini garden...

It is working really well, I like the fact I can adjust them regularly with minimal fuss. In the UK very little if any bracing goes on that I've seen, unless it's all happening in secret. He's not going to be shown but I'd like to avoid pricked ears if possible :smile2:
