Yes , I should be there. My car is working again and the snow and ice have gone so I've no excuses. I'll try tonight without the treats and see how it goes.
Hows your pup coming on Annie -is she ready for training yet ?

I took Buck to the ringcraft classes. He behaved better indoors than out !
I took treats with me but was very sparing in their use. I took Dale with me too - It took me an hour of quiet persuasion but I got Dale to go up with Buck ! Comments from others included "She's better at it than you!"..........." She's a better handler than you !"............"The dog likes her more !" ............." For a minute there Bill, I thought you had grown some hair !"
If I tried to move Bucks hind legs/paws back a bit by hand he sat at once, I asked David about this and he says to get the hind leg angulation by having him keep his hind paws where they are and move his front paws a little further forward.........I hadn't thought of that !
Dale was impressed by the coffee and biscuit and the training all for only £2. I think Dale liked the whole thing in general - She says Buck is a right show off - which he is - he seemed to like the whole shebang too, he is very confident and sort of "upbeat" at the classes. Dale was very surprised that he isn't a pest with the other dogs, he doesn't bother too much about them , he thinks everyone should just look at him !!
I'm beginning to think I must have bought the wrong breeding !

Ghillie, hips 8/9=17 and Merlin, hips 9/9=18 My opinions are brilliant, intelligent [sometimes] and MINE alone! If you want one I can give it to you. Sean Bean has wrinkles just like Bill!!!
I never said you were an electricity plug
If Buck is standing and moving well for Dale, why don't you let her show him and you just work him That way he won't get mixed up......you might but he won't _________________ Jan

It took me about an hour to persuade Dale just to trot him up and down a hall twice ! The show would be ended before she got her a"$* into gear !
I think Dale might show a dog but she'll make up her own mind in her own time - Dale is my opposite, she never rushes into anything ........... .............except shopping centres !
