its freds silver test in the next couple of weeks but weve also been training for the gold test as well, as the silver isnt much different to the bronze :2431: ...

ive been getting in some extra training with fred the past few days.... ive learnt him to do a finish when i shout him back to me(where he goes round and sits by my side).... weve learnt the the stop stay in the middle of calling him.... he freezes mid run and doesnt move ...and tonight weve almost cracked the 'away to bed' .....hes picked it up all soooo quickly.. .... ive enjoyed doing it.... just need some more stuff to learn now :2431:


lets just hope hes this good at training on saturday

Well done Shell sounds like you both are doing really, really well

i love doing the training....especially the stuff were doing at the moment....its fun ... freds loving it too...and im not losing my patience :2431:

That's brill news hun it's great to do things with your dog I bet Fred's mind is worn out with all the walking and training, which is brill for him

hes pooped today..... ... only trouble is, i get just as pooped :2431:

Good for you to be pooped as well

Well done both of you.

im always pooped just lately sange.... too much fresh air :2431:

cheers jan....

anyone have any ideas what else i can start learning him... :2431:

like what, proper stuff or fun stuff?

Wish i could learn mine how to make my coffee.

lol @ jan

both sange lolololol..... something that means close contact....if you kwim .... and something i can do in the garden

Well..how hard can it be.There are 3 of them
i'm sure they could manage it between them.

Thats excellent Shelley!! Will he do a 3 minute down stay and let you go out of sight for 30 seconds as that is part of the gold too.

Have you taught him hand signals for sit, down and stand? we have to teach this at the training club, we do this on the beach with Marley and Kala at a distance. try teaching left and right .......just a couple of suggestions

ooooh cheers for them jude they are the next training project lol
