<p>Our school is in a par and all the different levels have class at the same time. Fiddich went through levels 1-3 with flying colours but when he got to the advanced stage he suddenly started to run away when doing his re-calls. It was so beautiful to see that you couldn't stay angry and keep yourself from laughing! He would sit perfectly upstraight until my husband calls him. Then he will look around to see who sees him, pick up his lead and run to each and every class to say "hi"! He will…</p>

Then he will look around to see who sees him, pick up his lead and run to each and every class to say "hi"! He will run his most beautiful "show-run" as if he is the main attraction of the day. Every class first had to greet him and they could yell at him as they like he wouldn't move until he was greeted properly! My husbnd could chase him then he would just run faster, nothing helped! Luckily we could get him to stop with good treats!</p> Methinks Micawber just enjoys…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2011-11-03:865021:Comment:8369382011-11-03T18:53:18.685ZSherry Millerhttp://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/SherryMiller

just remembered an incident with Harry when i took him to obedience classes, he was doing the down stay with the handler out of sight...the trainer put great emphasis on the fact that the dog must not be made to feel abandoned and get agitated as it was the first time of doing this exercise....my husband duly got Harry settled and disappeared.....far from being upset, Harry settled down, rolled over onto his side ready for a nap!! When Graham came back and stood beside him he just peered up as…

Some lovely stories it amazes me that they are so different to other dogs and such wonderful characters. I love all dogs but ours really are quite unique. Hamilton aged 7 yrs is also in obedience and takes his bronze next week it has given him a new lease of life and thinks he's a puppy again rushing around playing and really enjoying his new found friends. He's also become very vocal and is genuinely much happier. So we can definetly recommend training even if you're middle aged

<p>Today DaisyMae Red and White Setter was training for competition obedience, training on working A level exercises. Brilliant..... however, she kept on remembering that she is not a Border Collie but a gun dog, and kept stopping to go on point because of the squirrels which were running up trees, or leaping from branch to branch.. Talk about Red and White Setters being good all rounders. Our instructor was very impressed, but said "shame about the having to stop to point though". …</p>
