[emmaa]

Tomorrow I am doing a jumping show and one of the classes is horse and hound.how do I prepare my dog for this ? Also do you just plead it over show jumps after you have ridden the horse?Any info will do and thanks in advance xx

Cheese in the hand (or any treat he likes- ours go insane for cheese though) and let him see it and smell it. Then run round and hope the lure of food is enough

I've won this class a few times with my old dog who was attached to my mum so I just made sure I placed my mum in the right spot so the dog would run to her haha! Havnt had a go with my dog yet but we do agility training so no worries there lol. Lots of treats and praise or what might be better for a jrt a squeaky toy to get him/her excited!!

A fistful of cocktail sausages, give him a bit right before you go in so he knows they're in your hand ready and waiting to be eaten! Tesco have them on special offer at the moment, a pound for a big tub. They're also great for humans to nibble on between classes
