    I also have a Verizon air card USB - the video may use it all up. Also, instead of using the laptop with the air card, I used my home computer to call it up and found you have to subscribe to something in order to watch - it's my policy not to do that. So, even though the video may be great, you do have to sign up with something to do so.

    quick note- I don't feed raw; i feed a grain free commercial dog food (there are now quite a few on the market) and have been very happy. I do feed some cooked muttloaf (http://www.maryshouse.us/Recipes.htm) with the evening meal.

    Have you tried to contact anyone in the Tucson Kennel Club? http://www.azdogs.com/tkc/ They don't have much of a website, but do have email addys for the President and Secretary. There are likely other kennel clubs in the area also

    @Flash: I was really impressed by how your dog trusts you and stays even when you disappear behind bushes. Was the training time consuming? I am trying to train my 11 month old pup in the rudiments of sitting, staying and coming at so its good to see what is possible with these intelligent little creatures. Well done! Thank you :) The training is definitly time consuming. We started with sit and Mirtillo wasn't planning on laying down or staying for some time. I just waited untill I noticed that he was 'ready' for the next step. The laying down came when the temprature went up and the staying when it was too hot to move ;) For every new step he gets his favorite treat. For the things he already knows he gets some normal kibble. When I'm behind the bushes I'm still saying 'stay', so he knows I'm there. We are trying to get to 30 seconds without me talking.. But he's still a bit too young for that. And they are for sure intelligent creatures..

    @Quercus: I would probably do that. But the benefit to taking them each to class is that they learn to do the behaviors in a distracting environment. The flip side to that is how on earth would you be able to train both dogs at the same time in the class? LOL!! I was thinking that my son would come with me and train Daisy, while I train Duke. Duke is the toughest student - REALLY spastic. :eek: Everything is a distraction. Daisy is much calmer. So I should bring Duke to class and then go thru the same training exercises at home with Daisy. I agree that training in a distracting environment WITH instructor's help is best. But, yeah - I should save some $$ and only take one. Gasoline prices are killing my budget! :mad:
