Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Thanks so much for the suggestion.

Hi all, I am in need of some recommendations for a soft sided collapsible crate with good ventilation that I would be using for agility trials. Any recommendations out there for a light weight one for an eleven pound Sheltie? Thanks, Ed

Lol, yeah our house looks like a day care but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I just always try to teach Cody something new to keep him from getting bored. Shelties are too smart and it would be a waste to not exercise their intelligence. Ed

Hi all, I try to continue to teach my smart Sheltie new things and hope to teach him how to put his toys back in his toy box. Any thoughts on the best way to go about this? I am thinking a drop command. Thanks, Ed

Thanks for the reply; you've confirmed my thinking that 3/4" would be too big for my little guy. I would love to get one that does not have a clasp; I worry that the clasp could break and he could make an escape. Ed

Thanks for the reply. I'll check it out. Btw do you think 3/4 " is to wide for him? Ed

Hi all, I have a small guy with a 10.5" neck and a 11.5" across the head. I was hoping to get a braided martingale but the manufacturer indicated that while she could custom make something that size, the fabric gets too stiff and becomes unaffective. What are your suggestions for something...

Thanks all. This is great information. I am afraid that my guy is losing interesting with just the lame jumps I have at home compared to the killer playlet at the ring in practice. Need to keep his interest. Ed

Good point about the herding dog. We are already doing agility to help with that drive. Just want to fill in the gaps between agility time to keep him busy. Plus - he's a small boy and that would be asking a lot of him. Ed

Yeah, thanks for the information. He is a little guy so we may have to opt out of the backup and give him a different job. Thanks for the info. Ed

Hi all, I am looking for a tunnel to practice our training at home? Would like something long enough to emulate what we do in class with curve and s shapes. Any places that have affordable tunnels? Thanks? Ed

Hi all, I am looking for a recommendation for good backpacks for our 13 pound male sheltie. I have seen ones that are Outward Hound but didn't know if you all had any favorites. Also, is a 13 pound Sheltie too small for a backpack? Granted, I won't load it up with a ton of stuff - just poopy...

I am curious why so many vets seems to be pushing the 'kill the flea on bite' pill. When we got our new Sheltie they were pushing a combination heartworm flea prevention and after doing some research I found out it had comforts in it so I ran away from it fast. After having a flea...

Hi all, Well yesterday Cody got neutered which went well. He was Cryptoid but the vet was able to find the runaway without issue. So we now have a 12 month old agility dog with the cone of shame on. I want to ensure that heals well, but also want to make sure I challenge him both mentally...
