What do you want your dog to achieve? I dont mean Crufts or maybe you do but was thinking more on the lines of a perfect heeling or recall or something as simple as sleeping through the night.
 
Schutzhund III is my ultimate aim, all myself without sending him away anywhere.
But I'd be happy with a I! He's only a baby, we have a long way to go and there are a lot of things that could happen between now and then.

And me learning to keep calm :p
 
Nope. Put the entry level obedience test and a tracking title on my older showline dog, who doesn't have much drive at all (which would basically be the obedience and tracking sections of Schutzhund I but with no bitework).
Was told by several people that I had proved myself and I had to go and get a working line and start playing with the big boys :o :o :o I've been to tonnes of trials and shows but it is easy to stand on the sidelines and watch! I am having a blast to be honest, but I know it is very early days.
 
I have put all the work into my dogs I possibly can to the point that its life consuming, esp the troublesome rejects and I could not ask for a better pack of rejects lol.........my ambition is to have less dogs:p
 
Well I did manage to achieve one ambition, which was to compete in agility in the big ring at Crufts, with a home bred GSD (who was also a best of breed winner at breed shows )apologies for the brag.:o Current ambition would be to improve Evies recall when there are small furry things about, so I could let her off lead when walking in strange places, but not sure if I will ever achieve that because although she has come on so much recently I don't I am brave enough to let her go, it makes our walks far too stressful.
And to stop Pickle bloody yapping! :D

EK is there a website or something where we can vote for Lucy?
 
Ah the perfect recall! That's what I would love, but to be fair have only had Maisie for 5 months and most of the time she's pretty good - am very careful where I let her off!

It's those pesky furry things that ruin it all, she's off like a bat out of hell, squeezes through hedges etc :( She does come back eventually but my heart just can't take the strain :rolleyes:

I'll take Pancake off your hands:D

Regan and Flick can come to - they both told me what a hard life they have with you........;):D:D:D I have bacon sarnies every sunday morning:D

Mine would be to stop the buggers from rolling in rank, minging stinky stuff....:rolleyes::D:D:D

Cayla already mentioned that Regan would look nice in my pack. My OH mentioned she looked nice in the boot of the landy and my crate :D


I would love to take Teal Cani Cross but thats more of me doing more work than him. Would love to get him to STOP as well, thought we had it, I think it was a couple of flukes.
 
Just htought of another one:

I would love to take Teal for a walk without worrying about him and other dogs It would be great to see him go over and greet another dog with a waggy tail rather than a grumble and hackles up. Or if on the lead he shuts his eyes and completly ignores that said dog exists.

Sadly I feel this may always be him.
 
For Diesel to grow a few more brain cells and not to pull on the lead when other dogs are around. He just gets so excited, he is a great big loveable bear of a dog who loves people and other dogs.

Darcy is very intelligent and Im hoping to do agility with her next month, I hope she takes to it she is so fast and might give the Border Collies a bit of a fright.:D might have to get someone else to compete her though as I am too old,fat & slow.:D

Pip our Lancashire Heeler is coming on great she really is a pleasure though like MMs Pickle does have rather a lot to say for herself, I dont remember my other 2 being that vocal.

Oh I forgot I would like my Dobes to bark more when people come to the house but perhaps Pip will teach them.:D
 
For Betsy to meet new dogs confidently and to stick up for herself / let other dogs know when she has had enough. We are getting there slowly :)

Also for her to complete a whole walk without pulling once... I can but dream.

Would also love love love to be able to let her off lead on the yard and to not lose her.
 
Get back into agility with Millie, and probably fly ball too

For Suzy, bring her out of herself a bit more and get recall pegged, with the eventual aim of agility and/or a bit of rally obedience.
