I am finally making progress with my lab that not everything is about him but it's a tough road. <br /><br />I audited a Sylvia Bishop seminar last year and she is a hoot! Loved her attitude and her way with the dogs. Her techniques worked well for the participants who had great relationships and observation skills with their dogs but I think they were very hard for the less skilled trainers who seemed to apply things more as corrections instead of positive body handling. Hard to explain but it was a very fine line and fascinating to observe.Riley and Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13387032619267051944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901844543243405919.post-3427690106433147362012-03-07T18:21:06.910-08:002012-03-07T18:21:06.910-08:00I thought I was a terrible trainer because I have ...I thought I was a terrible trainer because I have to kennel one dog to train the other. They shove each other around while doing the same thing. No one pays any attention to the name before the command - they both do everything and shove me and each other around while they do it or they forget they are supposed to be working and start rolling around snapping, barking and acting like fools. It can be a little disappointing.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843229866930009738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901844543243405919.post-13488178801579160212012-03-07T17:10:40.197-08:002012-03-07T17:10:40.197-08:00FYI, my husband bought a used lacrosse stick for b...FYI, my husband bought a used lacrosse stick for ball throwing. You can scoop it up with the end & not touch slimy ball. And you don't need to use much of your arm for throwing - no tendinitis. He had the same problem, so went looking.graciesmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13384619914695004525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901844543243405919.post-27615079900578786332012-03-07T14:38:21.901-08:002012-03-07T14:38:21.901-08:00I just came in from trying to train both dogs, whi...I just came in from trying to train both dogs, while they were both loose. (Yes, I have failed at that before and yes I just tried again.) I set up the articles in a nice pile, turned around to send Bo, and the pile looked slightly different and Tip was mysteriously and worrisomely out of sight. in the middle of the lawn, with his purloined leather scent article. (sigh).<br /><br />Then there was the time I was practicing retrieves, and I had just managed to finally teach Tip how to take and hold a dumbbell. I threw it over the high jump for Bo to fetch and instead we both had front row seats to Tip zooming in and stealing the dumbbell. I got THE LOOK from Bo.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04355423546969862399noreply@blogger.com
