A short word on recall.....

[Spudlet]

ARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

COME BACK YOU LITTLE SOD! LEAVE THAT HORSE POO ALONE!!!!!

Thank you, I feel better for that.


I have ordered a long line, and cooked up a load of hot dog sausages. Tomorrow is another day... (oh God....)

***Goes to bed to listen to Eye of the Tiger, to psyche self up for tomorrow's lunchtime walk**

 

[Lucy_Nottingham]

ahhhh know that short word well!!!!

although fox poo is just as appealing apparently!

 

[Spudlet]

Bleurgh, fox poo

And why always in front of my bosses? Why? WHY?????????

 

[GinaB]

Oh dear

Not so successful then

 

[CorvusCorax]

PMSL, I am getting deja vu, only my 'word' involved being on my back in a ditch while two feckin mutts stuffed their faces in my pockets, mugging me for food while I lay there in agony, sporting an improvised mud-pack.

Don't worry, you'll get there

 

[Spudlet]

Not so much

I keep thinking he's improving, but then I think I am jusy fooling myself

He's getting much better in all other circumstances.... it's just the lure of the horse poo....

 

[Lucy_Nottingham]

lol mine is always just after I say to someone how happy I am with his improvements!

and just to prove me wrong..............................!!!!!!

the last time I went to Daisy's house her parents were complementing him (cue big head from me!) and he went out into the hall having a nosey, and Daisys mum said his toilet training all good then? and I was like yup he hasnt had an accident in god knows how long!
Cue beau cocking his leg!!!! I nearly threw him over my head outside I was so mad!!!! GAH!!
always when you least want it! (if you ever really want it I guess?! hm.....)

 

[kirstyhen]

I have found that my "LEAVE IT!!!!!" and "NO!!!!!!!!!" are becoming VERY effective!

I think it's the interaction with Cayla on here, her gobbiness is rubbing off on me

 

[Spudlet]

Eyyye of the tiger
Dum de dum de de dum
And I'm up to the challenge
Dum de dum dum


We can do this, we can do this......

Cave Canem, that still makes me laugh to think of that, I'm sorry, I know I'm mean and nasty....

 

[Goya]

I to am very familiar with that feeling and that word!!!!!

 

[CorvusCorax]

Haha.

**Goes off to invent exploding horse-poo**


Hen, me and two other girls at our club are the loudest people on the field, I think we should have a yell-off with Cayla

We're all short arses and around the 8 stone mark but it is hilarious to see all the men jump out of their skins when we are giving commands.
We all have our own signature yells....

J says: DOOOOOWWWWWN!
E says: PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATZ!!!!!!

And I say:

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

 

[nijinsky]

Aren't they supposed to eat dog poo then

No amount of training would stop mine from eating it.

 

[Spudlet]

Exploding horse poo might put him off..... **strokes chin thoughtfully...**

I have got quite a good line in growly AHHHH AHHHH's, but the timing has to be dead on, or the little sod's away

Still, all four of his paws did leave the floor this evening as he tried to scoot under a fence, followed by a high-speed reverse

Which was highly satisfying

 

[CorvusCorax]

Oh I know about the timing, it is a real hair-trigger thing for us at times, especially if there is a pheasant about, I can see B start to dance on his toes, he looks at me, NOOOO!, he looks at his 'target', dance, back to me, still thinking about it, NOOOO! and my heart is in my mouth. There is always those few seconds when I think 'nope, he's gone' but 9/10 he comes back. He tanked off again on Saturday but gave up after about ten strides. Thank fook he is slow

He knows rightly that he is not allowed to do it and you can actually see him chancing his arm and trying to veer off the path into the woods before I get the command out.

 

[CAYLA]

As it's Henry

a bag full of black forrest gateaux
pork pies
cheese dips
left over birthday cake
sausage rolls
crisps

A longline and a whistle

Oh.........you lot would never be heard over my gob......and by hell I needed it....when I let my greyhound(im cat testing) off with the pack on my own when OH's back went off on Sunday........we where all having fun playing with the ball thrower "CUE" small westie appearing from knowwhere

"oh whats the small fluffy thing"? amy's eye light up and in invisible trap goes up to release her

AMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY LEAVE IT!!! the westi [****] it's self all my lot recoiled to my feet and Amy froze

An owner appeared looked at me like a loon and proceeded to chase the westi as it took bugger all notice and legged it

but amy came back without the westi

Im proud of my LEAVE IT'S.....I will record one for you one of these days.......im longlining the akita x shep once my new longline arrives and whistle........Im sure I will need my LEAVE IT

 

[Spudlet]

Basically, I need one of those little shopping trolleys on wheels to carry all the food around

Although this morning was much better with the aid of hotdog sausages

Longline should be here before the week is out!

 

[CorvusCorax]

Good good.

B will do anything for chorizo, cheese and cooked liver, as well as frankfurters! Posh git

 

[nijinsky]

My dogs are super healthy then - they all beg for carrots

 

[Spudlet]

At one point I did actually trip over Henry, he was so glued to me begging for sausages

Of course the acid test is the lunchtime walk - are sausages better than poo? I'm not convinced

We will be trying to avoid paddocks with horses in them if possible!

I will also be looking up recipes for livercake this lunchtime (yum

)

 

[spaniel]

Im so sorry hanandhen but Im PMSL....

 

[MurphysMinder]

I coooked up a load of liver for Evie's training treats, and put it in an old margarine tub in the fridge. Son was not impressed when he got the wrong tub out at breakfast time and was greeted with the fragrant smell of liver

I tend to vary her treats, and keep the extra super duper nice ones for times when I know I will struggle to keep her attention. I have however given up on horse poo, when I am picking up in the fields all the dogs "help" just wish they wouldn't take it out of the wheelbarrow

 

[Spudlet]

Hmph

The trouble is half the time so am I, which makes it hard to be effective as a trainer I feel..... he's such a comical little sod!

 

[spaniel]

If it makes you feel any better Im going through the same thing with Ruby....emptying the cat litter tray....eugh!

She knows its wrong so scuttles off with whatever lumps she has managed to grab....little madam!
