    I really want to do something with dodger but have no clue what? I know things aren’t the best because of me not driving but my mam says if i can find something that will get dodger active and using his mind that isn’t tooo far away – she’ll think about taking me to and fro.
    I’ve thought of agility and flyball as he is obsessed with his balls but he’s just totally lost intrest in the both. :-\ The nearest working trials is about an hour and a half away so that is really going to have to wait till i can drive but has anyone got any idea’s as to what i can do with him. He loves the tracking games we play, will jump over anything, loves to be active and running and not forgetting his damn obsession with his ball. I really want something to do so that it will get me out and about as well as him active and using his very intelligent mind. ???

    you work towards the different levels, it something that you can do and work out which disciplines you two want to do.

    Something to think about.  :-\

    umm something to think about! i just think that if he’s doing something it will keep his mind and naughtiness occupied. All these k9 police shows that have just sprung up just made made me want to do it even more. the police want a ball driven shepherd to work with dodger would be the perfect match – i wouldn’t be able to give him over to them so he’s stuck with me and his boring walks round the boring park 😀 ::)

    hi,

    how about doing stuff with him on his boring walk ?

    can he do all his basic cues sit / down / drop / off / wait / stay / stand / leaveit / recall / stop

    have you got hand, voice, whistle signals for any of them ?

    how about cues like  give paw, turn left, turn right, jump up, speak, spin left, spin right ?

    how about 1/2 your walk time and do extra training to get his recall better on walks or something like that ?

    Boooooooooooring!  I agree with laura. Dodger needs a path to travel.    If I were you Laura, I would start the Dodge on tracking, I think he’d love it.  Who cares about all that regular obedience stuff  😉  He’s a wonderful loving boy who has a wonderful mum.  Work on tracking and if he’s naughty, menh, so what. Just have fun with him and he’ll love it.  He’s a big rambunctious fun loving lad, so find a pastime that rewards his best attributes.  8)

    In the NAVHDA hunting aptitude tests, dogs that are basically “out of control” are highly praised..so there’s a place for everyone even the gruesome twosome …remote control dogs are dull dull dull  ;D

    I know transport is a big problem for you Laura,…are dogs allowed on trains, buses?  How about trying to work out a carpool with a tracking club? In my experience clubs of all sorts will go out of their way to attract and keep new young members.

    Yep pooches are allowed on buses etc – IF they behave, if a dog Dodgers size was out of control theyd probably kick Laura off without a seconds thought  🙂

    how about a heelwork to music routine…you can do that by yourself and if it gets fluent enough enter in some fun comps
