Right, so shopping around for a trainer is really frustrating. No one appears to be doing the national kennel club obedience training.
Last day of BASIS 2. The usual trainer wasn't there, so we had the trainer-in-training and the assistant trainer. Jackie had been almost...
Actually, most of the animals I've evr had came pre-named, but the one time I got to name one, I chose Emma, but my parents vetoed that name, so I...
That's the thing, tho, according to their website, all the prereqs for Hunt 1 are BASIS 1 and 2 or the equivalent, and that's all. If you can...
Wrote to the trainer to ask about the next step for training, given that next week is the last of BASIS 2. The original plan was that Jackie and I...
BASIS 2, day 5. Things went well today. We did the usual exercises, as well as recall with distractions, which went really well. Jackie came...
BASIS 2, day 4. Last week was cancelled, so it's been two weeks again. Things went reasonably. I've recently been put on medical leave for...
I don't really know how to respond to this. I mean, running is also high impact and bad for joints for humans? Jackie and I take very short runs,...
and I mean run or gallop, not jog? Jackie and I enjoy a late night gallop on the empty roads, as we never have traffic here late at night. (Don't...
That's exactly how I got him to do it around the house and yard, then suddenly he seemed to find it hilarious all on it's own and started playing...
Thanks, I appreciate it. Not really feeling that great about it all, but I really appreciate it, and I will keep it in mind.
They don't, the path that runs through the clubs area's is public, so they can't stop anyone from riding down them whenever they want....
BASIS 2, day 3. Behaviour-wise, things were again better than the last time. I still can't get him to go for the dummy once we're out the house,...
BASIS 2, day 2. Things were much better today. We managed to get through all the exercises nearly completely unscathed, though there was a single...
oops, posted my training log here instead.
Our old Basset eats "gifted" rats from our cat quite often, and never has vomited or otherwise reacted to them, so you might get lucky.
Last weeks training was also canceled, so it's been two weeks since we've been. I am dreading it, not going to lie. With the local bitch in heat,...
Well, I've found that with rabbits and chickens the same technique applies; slowly find their comfort distance, then inch in and wait for them to...
Weeeell, I kind of think she'll get a bit more puppyish as she settles in. For the first while I had my Jackie home, he was an angel, then slowly...
Oh, I thought you meant a proper tall dog run. We already have a fenced off patio, but he jumps that as if it wasn't even there. [IMG]
