(One can only pray for that or perhaps we all need to drive to Texas and hold a demonstration - maybe next May if a lot of folks go to the IFCS World competition!) And I don't mean demo the table, although maybe that's the answer - they need to see how horribly torturous the table can be for some us!<br /><br />Beth & LexiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21924162.post-7852212398762447312011-11-08T19:25:29.723-08:002011-11-08T19:25:29.723-08:00How old is Gustavo?

Don't forget that a dog like Gustavo might still be running at full speed at 7-9 years old unlike a lot of BCs who seem to peak at 3-5.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21924162.post-58770268711236952382011-11-08T16:44:42.584-08:002011-11-08T16:44:42.584-08:00It sounds like you are doing a wonderful job, try ...It sounds like you are doing a wonderful job, try not to get too discouraged.

I have a dog who's impulse control is less than perfect and when she reacts in a way which may reflect on my less than perfect dog training, it creates a barrier between our love. You are lucky that you can rise above that barrier and still love him the same. You are awesome. Your drawings are awesome lately too.Jodi, eh?noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21924162.post-34329429682546542752011-11-08T09:31:39.711-08:002011-11-08T09:31:39.711-08:00Yet another reason for USDAA to do away with the t...Yet another reason for USDAA to do away with the table in Standard. They did away with in in GP; what's one obstacle more or less? Plus it makes gustavo melt down. Plus it wastes so much time on the course while dogs like Tika or hobbes decide that 9 years of going Down on the table is plenty, thank you very much, or etc. etc. etc. there are so many table stories that waste course time. <br /><br />I've seen your runs; you're a great dog trainer. Gustavo just presents some, er, interesting challenges.Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.com
