Minimu - this way please ;-)

I need your help, please, sweetie.

I have a friend - no, I really do, honestly - and she has a 9 month old GSD who is lovely, just quite bouncy and full of fun as they are at that age. She is a knowledgeable owner and has trained him quite extensively.

I am trying to persuade her that joining me and my pup on a pre-agility or flyball course would be a good idea (her pup loves balls) but she is a bit worried that he is too hyper and will steal other dog's balls etc. She also thinks it will be best to wait until he's been castrated, saying he'll be calmer then. I've tried arguing that castration won't calm him down, that he'll love the flyball etc but she's reluctant.

What do you think, oh venerable one?

TIA

You know, I'd never considered flyball till tonight but [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwVUGv605rc maybe...]

Ok all white bits now covered ready to get started and where are you all? It is enough to make me think you are taking the piss and not really interested in this flyball lesson at all

Bit short of balls but luckily woofa is suplying us with some more for tomorrows session

stop distracting woofa..........I want to learn. .

GrimmaTheNome · 28/01/2010 22:44

Why do you think Bella built that dirty great big trebuchet or whatever it is, woofa?

Enjoy your last hump, lad.

Poor thing, you're going to look like the most enormous standard lamp in one of those collars, aren't you?

Bellasformerfriend · 29/01/2010 20:45

Hmm, I forgot to come back and check this thread...possibly a good thing by the look of it!

Bella, I just realised we are BFFs
I wish I could pretend that was deliberate but I am too blonde to be that clever

Here is my pup does he look suitable Minimu?

Another shot, just incase you need supporting evidence

I hadn't thought about the box - he is scared of most things, I am not sure how he would fare with a noisy box thing....I may be convinced to go for a session to have a look... [scardey cat]

I did but I don't think pup was all that impressed

Bella32 · 30/01/2010 08:47

Remedial flyball is just down the hall. BFF. In fact, if you go one door further you get to a room called 'Remedial'. That's the one for you.

Now. If you'll excuse me, I must press on with my Doctorate Thesis on the Linear Correlation Between Flyball Box Angle and Speed of Return in a Stratified Random Sample of Chinese Crested Dogs.

[pout] [weep] [sob]

Humph, well I am going to introduce pugs into your sample, just to see how good at flyball you are then!

Bella32 · 30/01/2010 18:52

You mean like this?

OP posts:
Bellasformerfriend · 30/01/2010 19:56

that is fab!!

We have been working on our technique today, how do you think we are doing?

Bella32 · 30/01/2010 20:19

I think that's pretty good.

Pup is a little less impressed

OP posts:
Bella32 · 30/01/2010 20:20

So, seriously - are we going to do it? We do need to fill out our forms, ya know

OP posts:
Bellasformerfriend · 30/01/2010 20:49

Have sent you an email Bella, I think I will ring them and check the days/times etc. I will have to bring the dc though...how do you think that will work out?

morethanyoubargainfor · 30/01/2010 21:26

i want to come am of you being able to go.

Bella32 · 30/01/2010 21:31

BFF - I think bringing the DC would be fine. The form asks who will be attending, so I got the impression dc can come too.

Morethan I would like you to come too. Could you not just move house or something?

morethanyoubargainfor · 30/01/2010 21:39

anythings possible! commute maybe, how long do you think it will take me? . I have one of these just standing around outside it really does to be used more .

Bellasformerfriend · 30/01/2010 21:49

Oh morethan, please don't come - you will show me up - I will only be arriving in my usual motor

Bellasformerfriend · 30/01/2010 21:58

Ok, this may be a better picture of it

Bella32 · 30/01/2010 22:36
