Hey Di, what a brilliant idea, not only fun for Lilia but fun for you too. They had an agility course at that training centre near us but you had to go through the whole training programme before they would let you any where near the agility. I mean you just want to have a go don't you!. lol I can not wait to hear how it all goes, I have a feeling it will be right up Lilia's street. You had me thinking the other night about trying somewhere else for some training sessions for Belle. The only thing I would really like to conquer would be the pulling on the lead. I thought about giving the spray bottle a try, you know when you say the command and if they dont listen you give to em with the bottle. It works on Dog Borstal anyway?. Now you have me thinking the other thing would be not to pull and look like you want to kill the dog thats coming toward you once we get close enough to the dog she just wants to play there is never any aggression. Oh, and then (no just kidding) poor Belle she is a good girl really. Keep going girl and roll on the weekend hey!. Enjoy your walks!. Lucie n Belle xxxx
Yeah i think its gonna be fun. She will probably be too excited to do anything though! I used clicker training for walking to heel - tedious to start off with but she soon gets the hang of it. Will explain it to you if you want . I know what you mean about meeting other dogs, people i think i aggravate the pulling by bracing myself for Lilia's tugging! Will ask Cynthia about that on Wednesday too so will let you know about that one as well! Ive got to toughen up with her a bit again - shes trying to push the boundaries but sometimes i think oh sod it if it keeps you quiet! Like this morning she found my 'NEXT' directory and shredded it - what the hell i could get ready for work in peace . Hope you all have a great weekend. Ive got a date with 20 litres of Chucklehead ooh and Mark Foster of course . Catch you soon. xx
