  lol They're the exact opposite They're born with all of their fur, eyes open, and about an hour after birth they are bouncing around and squeaking.

  They are all so precious... <br><br>But Stormy.. with his size and build.. he looks like an energetic little thing. You just HAVE to compete him RockStar!!! xD

  Understatement Zyn,lol He's waaay hyper! I'd love to get him into agility (he can jump crazy high) but I have no idea where to start

  Perfect! That's exactly what I was thinking. xD<br><br>Well, I started with a question: "Am I training my dog myself, or am I going with a professional that focuses on Agility."<br><br>Either one will cost money. -.- But I went with MYSELF, since I has a big head and believe I can do anythingz. xD lol. <br><br>After that, it was all about research and training, and the VET. Stormy needs to have a clean bill of health. Your best bet would be the internet, and then consulting with a pro if needed, of course. Unless you'd like me to sit here and type you a book about what I did. xD Actually, here ya go: <a href="http://chicagoagility.com/ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=77&Itemid=83"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://chicagoagility.com/ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=77&Itemid=83</a><br><br>Just some basics. xD of course you'll need to look up websites and classes for where YOU live. But the site above has some good info none the less. : )

  I'd probably go with training him myself as well. I somewhat trained Dusty to do a little agility stuff in the backyard, so I know I'm capable of it to a degree,lol.<br><br>I shall start researching tomorrow Thanks for the info. Any tips are greatly appreciated by the way,lol

  <br><br><span style="font-size:85">I would say if you do it yourself then you get a stronger bond with your dog and then when in shows it would probably listen better, whereas if you sent it to a pro then you would lose all the bonding time with the dog and then it might listen to you, but not necessarily because it wants to but because it has to. If that makes sense. <br>We've never gotten a dog professionally trained even if we do show them. We only have ever had one dog that was even sent to obedience school, and I personally think it did nothing for her, if not made her worse off then before. But then again we don't show as competitively as you do, as I focus on showing horses. ;D Plus basically all the dogs that were personally mine have almost all been mutts. But those are alot of times the best dogs.<br>My dog now is very weary of strangers, she stays at my side most all the time, but if theres a stranger then she sticks to me like glue. ;P Its something that happened in her past. She will bark at them and will keep them from coming near me if she doesn't know or like them. But I know she will not bite unless they are REALLY close to me or are threatening her or me. She has never bitten anyone. I didn't 'train' her to do this, its from all the time I spent with her. I even trained a rabbit by just spending time with it (now THATS a different story xD). <br>Sorry for rambling, its a good discussion topic. ;P Hope you get something out of this.</span>

  I agree with you Myst. I think that trainers should guide you in training your dog...I'm sure that some do that already though.

  Myst i've trained every one of my competitors myself. All have been successful and all are glued to me at ALL times, so yes, training your dog yourself will definitely create a bond. But it isn't for everyone. Not everyone is capable, and that's understandable. I've <span style="font-weight:bold">never</span> used a 'pro', in fact, I went out of my way to get a license that claimed ME to be a "pro". xD What I was really suggesting was a class, where a professional is present but YOU are training and in contact with your animal every step of the way.. which can even be BETTER then training the dog yourself. RockStar has opted to try to train Stormy her self anyways.. and I can't wait to see the results... xD Good luck Rockie!!

  <br><br>Thanks Zyn! I think I'm going to need that luck since Stormy can be quite stubborn,lol Now I just need to find something to amuse Jacoby, he's been such a pain in the butt lately,lol

  Train him to be the best listening dog so you can work with Stormy. xD

  If I knew him personally I would definitely be able to help out more.. but the obvious would be hunting or something along those lines, if we're basing what he should do soley on his breed. Or maybe you're just looking for a quick fix to keep Coby busy while you train Stormy? In that case you can either trick/obedience train him, or just take him to a PetCo and let him pick out a few toys and raw hide bones. Those should keep him busy. xD I'm always busy training one of my competitors in one thing or another, so my non-competitors don't get as much attention from me on certain days of the week. I had to find a hobby for each of them so no one would feel left out. xD For my Rat Terrier I got him a ball, and taught him how to use the stairs. lol. He'll seriously play by himself for hours, taking the ball to the top of the stairs then letting it roll down while he barks like crazy and catches it. Another non-competing dog that I have is a Lab/Shar-pei mix. She can't compete but gets ecstatic when she sees rope. So I tied a few ropes to some low hanging trees in my yard and she'll go at them for hours as well. Running and jumping to 'catch' the rope and then just hanging there. I dunno how she finds that fun, but it keeps her busy and she never even notices that i'm not around. xD Basically, find something that really speaks to your dog. Maybe for Coby it's food? You could get a couple of KONG toys and fill them with treats. If he's food oriented he'll probably sit there for as long as it takes and get every single treat out. I have tons of other suggestions, but if I knew his personality it would easier. And i'll stop talking now, just in case this isn't what you're looking for at all and have no idea what i'm talking about. >.> haha!

  I can't do hunting, not actual hunting atleast. I don't trust him offleash, plus I can't bring myself to shoot an animal. Maybe I could do just a tracking type of thing though. I know somebody that has coon pelts, I could just drag that along the ground and hide it somewhere.<br><br>I've tried toys, he...eats them,lol I bought one of the Kong's and he chewed it all up and it looked like there was a rubber massacre O.O

  
• Adrianna32

  January 2012 69.171.161.0

  LOL. I know what it looks like when a kong is killed. Laru has chewed through the original kong, mighty kong, the kong ball... and as for the "indestructible" kong... she <span style="font-weight:bold">demolished</span> it. I did get my refund though. ^.^ <br><br>You could do obedience training, so that you <span style="font-weight:bold">could</span> trust him off leash. Are you just afraid that he'll run off and wont listen when you call him back? Or is he animal/dog or people aggressive? Only you know your dog though, and if you say you can't trust him, I believe you! xD lol. <br><br>I couldn't bring myself to shoot an animal either. Until the enormous wild boar population started to effect me where I once lived. A freakin herd of them trampled my property/ruined my sprinkler system AND killed some of my animals. So I semi-trained LaLa, Crimson, and Bully to hunt and track boar, but let my uncle do the hunting with them. xD Those things had stopped coming around. But I understand what you're saying. And odds are you don't have an immense wild boar population that needs to be taken care of. : D<br><br>Tracking is what I meant by 'along the lines of hunting'. And your idea is a good one! I will say that things are not always as easy as they seem to be though. xD I tried that same thing, and it actually took a lot of scent training before the dog was able to get it right and understand the concept of the 'game' we were playing. Maybe Coby will pick it up quickly though, because of his breed(s). Then that game can go on to turn into something else, and you'll be able to compete him! (Typical Zyndalee, always getting ahead of herself). xD It's a possibility though. : )

  lol Yea anything "indestructible" is NOT Coby proof at all,lol<br><br>I'm mostly afraid that he'll take off and not listen, and he is a little human agressive =/<br><br>Oh sure! We have tons of wild board and the great with north...east <br><br>Lmao Yea I can see Coby at a competition..."Oh! That's a pretty <span style="text-decoration:underline">boy</span> dog...I think I need to try to mate with it"...."Hmm, that dude's food looks yummy, time to turn on the...WHOA! Rockie, did you just see THAT" *pulls me halfway across event and through the parking lot to chase a leaf"

  LOL! You just described Cash right there! I took him to PetCo and while we're walking out he drags me across the parking lot to catch, of all things, a <span style="font-style:italic">Wal-Mart receipt</span>! How is that even <span style="font-weight:bold">remotely</span> interesting??! "I think I need to try and mate with it", is what he thinks about females that wear Jeans. He has this lust for Jean covered legs. -.- Sounds like Coby needs some attention training. For erractic, A.D.D dogs. xD

  <br>As long as y'all don't plan on living together..or if so, without me. I ish human agressive too XD Overly protective of -my- humans. You steal, you die. Zyn ish mine and so is Rockie. Mine, I tell you. Mine! ..now while every viewer thinks I'm a bit psychotic.. >.> Lmfao<br><br>I think tracking would be kool for Coby if you could get him trustworthy enough. It'll take a heck of a lot of work, but with the breeds he's got in him, he'd be perfect for it. Agility competing sounds good too. In all honesty, I always thought about how kool it would be to do with Daisy. She's trainable (knows tricks already), loyal to me, eager to please, loves playing with toys. Like you know how you use treats and food, mostly, to train a dog. Like legitimately last night, there was this show on talking about the cat shows that exist and how some people actually DO do agility with their cats. The best way to train them is with those toys that are sticks with a feather at the tip. Oh I swear I wish I could with her She's so fast too, it's crazy.
