Our notes!!

Tracy Bell
did the sit tonight we had to do a few heel comands, but she was doing the sit really well, to start off a few in the middle i had to push her down. she also started walking on the walk on, is this ok?

then on the way back she got really distracted by other dogs, so was saying mae heel sharp snap of the lead kept walking is this right?

she doesn't seem to watch me, she seems scared almost. so i need to catch her attention somehow.

enjoyed it, got a lot of work to do :)

    That is fine.... When she is distracted by other dogs Just say leave and keep walking use the lead to zap her attention back on what you are doing.


    Just keep walk on pay no attention to what she is doing. She need to do what you want.


    As for looking at you talk to her...That will get the attention on you. You can use a treat as well as talking to her. When she has done what you want. For the first day it is good. This is why only do the weeks we have sorted so keep to week one......

    This is how we did it in class.master the ones you know. She is only going to be a pet. A well trained one..... Which you will see people watching you. It is a great sight to see a trained dog walking... Good Keep it up.... XX

  • ''Chrissy Knight'' I really think you are going to enjoy this... I know I am.... The list at the top is the ones we are going to get to.... I have put them there so I can explain them to you. So we have some work cut out on these walks.... Once the recall is mastered we can see about off lead work... That is why I have put it in the first week.... XX

  • Tracy Bell great this morning her attention was mostly on me. we walked to command on the path for about 10 mins then on to the grass to play (on lead) then back on the path more training. i think that i may do that the training on the path but she can play on the grass. longer walk this morning went exploring.

    • Tracy Bell ok bad idea this evening took her trick or treating with J she wanted to be J all the time, especially if someone was talking to her at the door. i was talking to her all the time. but she was calm and sat all the time when we stopped.

      This is the times when you have to realise, she is going to be on her toes. It sounds like she sat and waited which was fantastic. Well done keep that up and she will lean to quiet down. She is having to change to what you want.... Not what she wants... It is only day two and it all take time Hun. So don't worry about it. You will get days when you feel you are going backwards. Then the next day it will be perfect. Remember you were excited and that will travel down the lead to her....XXXXX

    • ''Chrissy Knight''
      Well how is it going...Improving I hope. Even if it is only a little that is fine...I bet Mae looks forward to the walks. Tina said you where very excited this morning...lol Good that means it is working well. I have to sit down and put the details in for the other weeks..... Once this week is done and you start to do next weeks. Remember to contintue adding in Week one. Then at the end of this you will be walking and doing all the exercises...PML

Spiders

Mutant Spider!!!! Cats and dog just watched it. And I can't get any one who's not scared of them to help :((((( so it's sitting under a glass with a dvd on top of it!

  • Liz Carson cant believe u got close enuff to put a glass on it lol xx
  • Julie Brown Spiders apparently don't like conkers!! have any handy to frighten them??!
  • Tracy Bell Hubby home to the rescue!! You and me both Liz. Julie I have been told that but no haven't any at mo but guess where I'm off too at weekend!
  • Liz Carson i had conkers in the house last year and didnt get any spiders but need new ones as got my first biggy tonight grrr xx
  • Susy Withers ‎*is currently going out to find conkers* I hope this works coz i literally have to leave the room is there is 1 in the same room as me lol
  • Susy Withers BTW my spiders seem to be on steroids and they are blooming massive xx
  • Kerry Tallan Bit early for the conkers,any on the ground aren't ripe yet,maybe another week or so :)
  • Paulette Ellen Appleby Tracy if you can get close enough with a glass then you would find the lakeland plastic spider catcher a doddle. Its a long tube that leads to a battery compartment. You press a button and its sucked into the catcher and whilst its held in the tube you can cap the tube and take outside...or just hold the button til you get outside and then release....and no it cant get out the tube as long as you are holding the button....I have one upstairs and one downstairs. Since I had it, my phobia is now managable!

    @Susy...seems to be the case everywhere, so many friends as well as me have said the same!
  • Paulette Ellen Appleby to get it out i just flick the tube as I let go of the button and it sends it sailing into the distance LOL
  • Tracy Bell Apprantely there are so many this year thanks to the wet summer. Pea only got close as it was looking at the animals!!! My heart's still pounding. Susy it does work, I have been told so many times bu different people and we use them on the farm!!
  • Paulette Ellen Appleby I'll try it as soon as I spot a conker LOL....search lakeland spider catcher in google and am sure you'll find it. Its at least 12 inches long, plus the length of your arm!
  • Susy Withers I need to find something coz these guys can have my entire house at this rate they are that big i am not going anywhere near them. I suffer major Arahnophobia and have panic attacks over the things lol xxx
  • Susy Withers ‎@Paulette still not long enough for me sorry lol
  • Paulette Ellen Appleby aw bless you Susy...big hugs
  • Liz Carson ‎2 years ago u could hear them before u seen them here im sure they were wearing dm boots and had tattoos and ear rings but never seen any bigs ones last year since i got conkers had a couple of little ones vut only where there were no conkers xx
  • Susy Withers well looks like every window and door in my house will be getting decorated with conkers rofl xxx
  • Liz Carson lmao im gonna be doing the same as bill wont be here to sort em and to dog is useless think the hamster would be more help lol xxx
  • ''Chrissy Knight'' Come on Girls waiting for a the men to remove it...Tut tut. They keep the flys down and do not kill them that is unlucky.... Well it would be for the spider...LOL
  • Liz Carson u have a choice 1 you can catch them and set them free which will mean they will come back in or 2 kill em and send a message to all the others hmmmmmm option 2 for me every time lol xx
  • Tracy Bell Mum it was bloody huge!!!
  • Susy Withers Option 2 for me aswell so long as its someone else going close enough to it to actually kill it rofl

  •  well i texted 2 males to help last night before hubby got home, both hate them too. one actually said what do you think the nexy directory is for? Launch it at them!!

Interesting and Odd

"Slept" downstairs again!  Well what I am calling sleep.  Headed back to bed, for a snuggle.

Woke at 10ish and saucily texted Andrew for sex.  It was good.

Lazy day today as all knackered from yesterday.

Not a lot of texting today.  He should be home today.  Feeling a little stalkerish as I want to text but know he needs to make that first step.

Started making Murphy's card and I am struggling with it.  I didn't even know this dog but I know Will and how much it hurt him.
