Could someone enlighten me where the obedience trials are being held this weekend in Peterborough? I'm driving in from Ottawa on Hwy 7 so any directions would...
Hi Deb, According to the map P.A.D.O.C sent and my Ont. road map, you take County(?) road 134 north off of Hwy 7 to the Douro Community Centre. If I remember...

Hi Maureen, Your email is fine, I too joined this group recently but they aren't very active. I was really hoping for good conversations, funny stories and...
Hi Maureen and Tracy This is not a very active list at all. My name is Sherry and I live outside of Detroit, Michigan. I am a Canadian and I moved here about...
Unfortunately there are never many posts on this list. I joined over a year ago and there have only been a few dozen posts. Unlike the Obedcomp list where it...
Hi Maureen, This is not a very active list but every once and a while something crops up. Lona and Ringo (who entered the fUtility ring for the first time ever...
I just started training 2 of my dogs in Utility. Don't know if we will ever get there, but we're giving it a shot. I'm also training my 2 youngest ones in...
Hi List Members, I was just reading the posts about this list being too quiet so I'll jump in and tell a tale. This weekend I had my 17 month old sheltie in 2...
Hi Pat, I'm glad to hear that it was on your trial after your 3 rd pass. I don't think that there really is a good way to proof for such a thing. I can say...
Hi Maureen, I'm glad for the exhibitors that the arena finally saw the light. It would have been really nice had the volume been turned down in this venue....
Hello everyone, Now that I have determined that I am in fact receiving mail, I thought that I would introduce myself. I live in Sooke BC, which is a small...
Hi Pat, was reading your post about the PA system problem . When I came to your question about how to proof for it, an idea popped into my head. Don't know...
Thanks Jo-anne. You know that just might work. I think I'll give it a try. If it is proofed in this way at home hopefully the dog(s) would learn it's just...
LIQUOR TRAINING BY Ken Nagler Now clicker training quite the fad. Results for some are not that bad. The concept stemmed from Pavlov's hound Responding to some...
Where I have been training for the last 4 years, they use a P.A. system when we do the stays. We do a quiet set first and then we do a distraction set and...
Hi Sherry, I moved to Windsor from Acton a few years ago. I am hoping to compete in obedience trials both here and in Michigan. I have greyhounds and am...
That sounds like A LOT of proofing! Do you think this could be over-done? Pat ... From: cathy To: CKCObedience@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, May 05, 2003 6:45...
This is a good question, can proofing be over-done? I would think that the more the dog is exposed to, the more stable they will be. This is as long as the...
I don't really think so. My 1dog have never been super bothered by noise, well maybe chip bags:)) The other 1 is noise sensitive and it has helped her...
When I go to trials I enjoy watching the style of each team. Whether they pass or fail each can offer us a tid bit or two. For that reason, I am voicing my...
In Utility the rule on hands is in the area of the scent discrimination: Page 57 11.6.6 However, the hand must be returned to a normal position before the...
I think you have to consider that sometimes styles are misconstrued or used
as extra signals. The placing of the hands is to help the judges to
determine if...
Excellent post Margaret. I have only been doing this for 3 years now and I love it. I have put CDX's on 2 of my dogs. Have 2 more training in novice now and...
Hi Cathy, Excellent post Margaret. Thanks. Many years ago I had a large group of friends competing at the same time and we spent alot of time going over the...
Hi all, Just wondering if anybody out there might have some used jumps they don't use anymore. My old ones are headed for the burning barrel. I live in...
Okay, at the risk of sounding like a bit of a beginner here. I was wondering if anyone knows of a MACH or MACHY title with the CKC. I was at class this...

Hi everyone, I need to pick your brains. Last time I told you that I had my girl Caileigh entered in her first trial at the Utility level. I was just waiting...
Hi Maureen, Sorry I can't help you, but I do know how you feel. Ringo is my first dog that I have trained to the Utility level. We've done 4 trials so far and...
