    Yesterday Tillo had his first race track training of 2011. He got all excited in the car when he knew where we were going.. he kept whining until it was his turn and after that he was finally able to take a nap.. so he was rested for his second round. Here some pics!

    "I'm next, I'm next…!!"

    There he goes..

    ..and his finish..

    Got it!

    Tillo has a hard time walking away from the lure…
    Keeping an ear on it..

    And a final look..

    Some pics from our walk between the courses
    A little bit of free stacking..

    Tillo's second finish (BF was too late for the start ;))

    The letting go part is always the hardest..

    And some bonus pics of a girl that made my sighthound heart skip a beat..

    And some head shots..

    Next week: our first lure course training of 2011! Can't wait!

    now, do excuse my ignorance but.. that other sighthound, do you know what breed she is? my closest guess would be a smooth saluki??

    Thanks for the nice comment, yes, Tillo had a lot of fun!
    The other sighthound is a Caravan Hound from India, related to the Saluki. Gorgeous don't you think? First thing I thought was: "I have to have one of those!!" :rolleyes:

    Thanks all! It's so great to see your dog more than happy doing what he does best! It's a pity Basenjis aren't allowed to run for a title over here.

    I am not in your area, but ... you should know that dog training is about teaching you how to interact with your dog, as opposed to teaching your dog how to do things. Most area Kennel Clubs offer training where you are your dogs partner in the class. The things you will learn will last your lifetime. I applaud the non-punitive approach. A lot of people fly off the handle when their dog chews on the wrong thing, or doesn't quite have potty training down. One of the best things you can do is give them love when they do it right and don't react when they don't. Recognize that he's just a pup. You can trade an acceptable chew toy for your shoes, and you can avoid the problem by closing the closet door so your pup can't get to your shoes. Accidents will happen and learning to potty doesn't happen overnight. Just provide a lot of verbal love when the pup gets it right and don't react when he doesn't. Love and praise are the best tools in your training bag. Congrats on your pup. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!

    @Janneke: I find your fronts very interesting! haha.. I've never seen them any different than ours. This is an official race track, also for international (FCI) matches.. so I think they conform to the rules over here :D It is interesting to see the differences in the sport in different areas. I think the tops are kept solid here because it keeps the dogs low in the boxes when they focus on the lure. The dogs that stay very low an focused are usually the fast on the break from what I have seen. In the oval especially, the break can be the make it or break it for the dog to get and hold the rail position which can be the difference between winning or losing for some races. Watching the races is so much fun. There is so much that goes into a good race dog. They are really amazing.
