Re: Starting From Scratch
Hi Leoti
Yeah, i plan to take all the advice i can get - especially at the ringcraft classes. Should I just take pup along as soon as he has had all his jags? Christine

Re: Starting From Scratch
Hi,
Being in Cyprus there is no such thing as ringcraft  I tend to start as early as 11 weeks and just make it part of their normal training, however for show training I always clicker train. I find this very useful as it allows you to really shape a behaviour i.e. stacking, proper gaiting, and this way it becomes so natural to the dog, whatever breed. Once a fortnight I get together with friends and we create show scenarios, so someone will be judge etc. This is fun and much less formal than ringcraft as you get to enjoy a few glasses of wine as well, and it's amazing how much we all improve after the 2nd glass
