Hi All,

I hope to get a new pup sometime this spring and I'm getting all my material in now so I have a running start.

This new pup will be working lines and trained in SchH hopefully.

I have the following DVD's:

Basic Dog OB
Building Drive Focus & Grip
Dealing with Dominant and Aggressive Dogs

And a couple more I think that I can't remember.

I Also have the Balabanov DVD and a few books on the subject of dog training and SchH.

I'm looking at the following DVD's and any suggestions on how they fit in with my current collection are welcome.

http://leerburg.com/310.htm - Preparing Your Dog
for the Helper.

http://leerburg.com/115.htm - Training the New Helper (for me as I'm interested in this.)

http://leerburg.com/203.htm - Training a competition tracking dog. Looking for something that does pups to adults.


Cheers

John

John - so glad to hear about the new pup. Be sure to keep us informed about him/her.

John, are you going to get into Schutzhund?
You should go and visit any clubs that you have in your town, you'll learn a great deal.
I have quiet a few videos and adding more to my collection but nothing beats seeing it in person, foundation work, tracking, obedience and bite work ect..
Good luck, when is this puppy arriving and from where?

What age will he be on arrival & are you getting:

Hi Angelique,

I went to SchH with my last dog for a couple of months for exactly the reasons you state, and in the hope of being trained myself by the folks there.

I hope to have a puppy around April/May but I haven't made solid arrangements with a breeder here yet as I want to make sure I get the right breeder and the right dog (also the head honcho at my local SchH club is helping me out with contacts and finding a good breeding). I was hoping not to have to import as that means I would have to get an older dog (due to Quarantine here) and I really want to start with a puppy (8 weeks).

Hi Candi,

Hopefully the pup will be 8 weeks. I've thought about getting that video but to be honest I already have a TON of stuff on that very subject, and one of the folks at my local club used to breed and she has some very nice stable dogs and will be able to assist in anything I'm not sure about. I may well still get it as I've not been disapointed with the DVD's I've bought so far but you know what it's like when you work to a budget, you get what is most important to you at that time

Cheers

John
