Silvia is really good at helping people along with their dogs and giving you suggestions on what to do to get your dog to learn. To answer your question, does it help if your dog knows the clicker and is familiar with shaping, sure. But is it a prerequisite, no. In my class, there were all sorts...

I've taken that online class with Silvia back in February this year! You'll love it! Silvia is really great at helping everyone and giving you advice on how you should proceed with your dog. You'll see that most of her 'tricks' are for core building, making the dog think better and set the stage...

I've used both. The brewer's yeast and garlic helped a little, but it's not enough on its own at all. The sergeantsnatural I found stained their ruff yellow for months to come, so I stopped using that. Now I use the Critter Oil and am looking into the CedarCide (which also makes a human...

There are two products that have great reviews: Critter Oil and CedarCide. I have only used Critter Oil (www.critteroil.com) and it works GREAT! I use it as a shampoo, and I use it on my carpets, floors and furniture. I also use Diatomaceous Earth in my yard. Critter Oil and the DE also helps to...

Thank you for the quick response. I will enter her in Pairs then :smile2: This is what is says about the contacts (this is a direct quote from the USDAA website) Can you explain point #2 about the four paws in on descent? Contact Obstacles Ascend, cross and begin descent to have...

Hi, I am planning on enetering my first USDAA trial this August. Can anyone explain to me what the rule is with contacts? Is it at least one paw in the yellow or two or four...somewhere I read that they changed the rule and it said something about getting all four in :eek2: Also, how does it...

I am soooooo jealous! I wish I had a supplier here like that for that price! Do they have liver? I did not see that, but then I quickly skimmed it. I would do the whole meat not the ground - better for their teeth.

I've been talking to some other people on line and they recommend the 'buster fooscube'. It has a maze inside so the treats have to meander through the maze first before they come out of the cube when the dog rolls it around. I plan on getting this one for my two. It looks like it will take them...

I have a question about this ball, all the video's I've seen with this look like the treats come out fairly easily. What do you think? My two are experts at getting treats out of interactive toys - most of the Nina Ottosson games are too easy for them. They are really good at getting even large...

I just watched your videos - great runs! Job very well done. Lexi is fast! What height does she jump? I think you did very well with directionals. I have to teach them to Maia. If we knew them, I think it would have saved us this weekend on our very first AAC Starters Jumpers course. Did you...

My heart goes out to you and the pups. You are in my thoughts.

Do you know if any of the other littermates are having these same issues or is it just your two?

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that you find out what is wrong with him and can treat it. I will keep you and Theo and Lily in my thoughts. Please keep us updated.

I know that some of you use natural defense by Sergeants. I used it last year once in the fall, and I found that is stained the white ruff yellow. I could not wash it out for months. Was it just me? I don't want to have my two walking around with yellow stains at the base of the neck - it's very...

I love the videos! Great music too. Last year, the Canadian world team was made up of only BC and shelties too :smile2: That must have been wonderful to be able to go and watch the try outs - the calliber of the competitors would have been great to see and watch.
