Just figure I would dangle that out there to drive a few of you guys crazy... will let ya know what happens or what goes down that evening...


On a side note... Karma had a dog show last weekend and did fabulous! got two double q's in her aglity runs and earned her MXJ... all on a tore up toe!!! poor thing, i was wondering why she was running kinda slow. We have another show next weekend in SA, yea! dog shows!

Oh yea, dont forget about wednesday... :)

Hint... it involves Fate
 
HA... i thought about messing with ya and saying she is having puppies, but thought that would be mean, LOL! And I am not planning on any new pups for another three years (plan to get a euro from the otherside of the pond somewhere) i need a few dogs to die off first! i know i know... awful... cant wait til tomorrow tho! Yea Fate!
 
Oh I missed this but congrats to Karma! :gun:

Let's see, Fate is either going dock diving, doing something with Schutzhund or well, who knows with all you do with your dogs. :D

Oh boy and another baby sometime down the road???? How exciting!

Little do you know but you still are ! LOL ( Messing with me )

I still have no idea what you are talking about.............. Men huh ?
 
Thank you laptop battery for dying and making me type this a second time... dammit....... ok enough venting...

ANYWAYS........ YEA!!! I finally got off my azz and contacted few people around here and found a schutz group for Fate. :) Well, there is a guy that breeds GSDs and trains them in schutz, the helper guy mainly competes in PSA and ring but is a helper in schutz... so they train together here. All about 35 minutes away (pretty countryside!)

I know I been slacking with poor Fate all this time, I finally got Karma going in class, so i am very happy to finally get Fate into something, the group seems to be pretty knowledgeable... they evaluated Fate on her OB which they said she would be great for sport events... because she has such a flashy heel, she walks with a lot of power... her bite work still needs some encouragement, but i am not gonna get down on her for that because it was a different place, different dogs we dont know (crazy dogs) and thats not her normal person to bite... so i think that will come. But it wasnt bad, there was only 5 other people on this nite, the had gsd and mals so we were the only dobe. gonna have ta change that i guess, lol But it will be fun, they meet on wednesdays at this place then saturdays for more bitework at the helpers place. So i am pretty excited to get her going!

I even made her a new schutz collar, on my third try... lol, first one i thought was to short, second one i worked so hard to get her name tooled in, then she decided to pull it off the table and eat half of it... ARGH... so I made this one real fast in 2 days... kinda like how it camed out, better than my original one... (that someone also ate)

she really is not as thin as she looks in that pic... she is just sitting weird, lol
 
How exciting! Good for you guys! I highly recommend a harness for the agitation work for now. Dobe necks are so long and prone to injury that while they are still pulling hard on the line I'd go with a harness. Once she is on more off lead work the collar will be nice.
 
How cool hrd! Love the collar and LOL about her eating half the other one. :D

You'll have to keep us posted on her progress!
 
mgwife, interesting enough... that evening i went to do a lil work with her in the yard... and i put the harness i have had for her on and... then it dawned on me... ths dog has NEVER had a harness on her before! she was all standing odd an weird like... wtf... why is this between my legs.. ugh!

I actualy dont think it would work for her because she was so distracted with it being wrapped around her body, lol
 
Very cool, hrd! Congrats! She should do very well!

I don't know anything about it, but her acting all 'weird' with the harness could just be the initial introduction. A lot of new things feel weird at first but quickly move into place with time. I'm sure our first bra felt weird too. ;) :rolleyes: :D
 
Well just to update, its been sloooow moving. The first night we went out, Fate wasnt having it... it was dark and outside, wtf is with those crazy barking gsd and mals... pshhhhhhhh!!!!! so apparently this will take some work.

I went to the guys house on saturday, after working with fate for a couple days to remind her how to play the bite game... and she did a bit better, he let me use his sleeve to play with her so she will get off her toy i was using,

then last wednesday, huge improvement, she wanted to bite just fine... but to quiet so now working on getting her to bark... you bark you get to bite... MAN...talk about practically having to start over. but its my fault... so patience is a virtue! but i do feel like there is no break between wed and sat... man weeks are going by fast!
 
I think there are always ups and downs, which makes it so worth it when you get it mastered. Hell, I'm the master of "darn it, I lost ground" so I'm sure she'll be back on track before you know it. :)

We work with almost exclusively GSD's in our club (not on PP work mind you) so our dogs are pretty used to them, but put them in a different situation like that and they'd probably melt for a while.
