Cheers Lee I will have a look at that very shortly.I got a 4 year Old bitch and a couple of 7.5 month pups.
The 4 year old should be fine.Shes Pretty fit anyways aslong as it dont spook her.Also the little bitch pup is into everything and I reckon she will pick it up pretty fast with the training but the Boy i aint got a clue.Right now he aint into flirt pole,spring pole or anything other than a good old scrap LOL so not sure with him at the minute but he may pick it up later.Ill give it a good old go.
I aim to be at some of the sacs events etc.. throughout the summer and want to be able to do these events before i go their so im not to inexperianced but we all have to start somewhere i suppose.

In started the weight pull training with my young bitch, she will do it, iv had her just pulling around a 6 pint milk carton filled with water, getting her used to the command and used to the harness, however i hit a major problem, this bitch is nuts she will walk on the lead and is very obidient but when its work time she is so exciteable, she jumps up grabs the lead or anything she can get from stones on the floor etc, she barks and screams, just out of excitement and goes beserk and i really dont know what to do about it, she is strong and obedient but like i say when work time she is a nutter. How can i keep her calm and relxed?

matty get someone else to hold her ditch the lead, so she focussed on you. maybe she will come to you before she goes beserk. Someone else would release her in competition anyway. Let me know how you get on. GL
