I think that&#39;s our unique gift to the world. Each of us has something to share.Daizy, George, Taiki n Keeganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02866730765355108161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011331160742002368.post-87906282453204290732010-03-19T18:40:30.291-07:002010-03-19T18:40:30.291-07:00Well sadly, there hasn&#39;t been too much interest in Petey yet ... I think people are turned off by his biting. In fact when the call went out for a foster home for Petey last year, we were the only ones that filled out an application for him.<br /><br />I&#39;ll definitely keep a journal here of our progress with Rally-O. If you can share any tips (as you always do) that would be awesome :)happydhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01786041155662615708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011331160742002368.post-52292711172731976802010-03-18T09:10:23.928-07:002010-03-18T09:10:23.928-07:00Multi-dog households rock! Are you keeping Petey?<br /><br />Competing is so much fun. I&#39;m just a fun match girl. Nothing serious. I hope you and Hyedie keep us fans in the loop! <br /><br />Re: targeting that&#39;s my favourite training tool. It&#39;s important to master lure, shaping too as the more you have in your tickle trunk the faster you&#39;ll be able to troubleshoot. <br /><br />I have to say that it makes me feel like a magician :P I add more play &amp; toys into the mix for rewards right off the bat. I think that&#39;s where people get frustrated with lure or shaping. Food is used as a crutch, and not as it&#39;s intended. The more you have in your training tickle trunk the faster you can troubleshoot. <br /><br /><br />re: Competition<br /><br />We&#39;re just a fun match family, but it&#39;s exciting just the same!<br /><br />Daizy my old girl just lights up the crowd, in agility.<br /><br />Darrell ran her in gamblers and had finished all the jackpots and turned to the audience and yelled &quot;what do I do next&quot; and they yelled back cheering him on...kinda like the Price is right when people ask for audience help...it was a hoot!Daizy, George, Taiki n Keeganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02866730765355108161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011331160742002368.post-65372974174947834222010-03-18T06:31:02.276-07:002010-03-18T06:31:02.276-07:00Yay Duke, he is Hyedie&#39;s dog for competition now. I guess I&#39;ll stick with Petey. :)Andrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01691832715713707110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011331160742002368.post-46467793134092093392010-03-16T21:37:56.173-07:002010-03-16T21:37:56.173-07:00I LOVE those light bulb moments!<br /><br />WAY TO GO! <br /><br />Very creative thinking too!Daizy, George, Taiki n Keeganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02866730765355108161noreply@blogger.com
