    Good luck with the show! Here in the UK we have Ringcraft classes. These are invaluable to training for shows. You can do as much individual training at home but you really need your dog to be socialised with other dogs and people. I have my first Basenji who is 15 weeks old and he has been to two ringcraft classes, last week but he really needed to get used to the distraction of the other dogs and to be used to being touched by strangers on the table. Milo was all over the place with the lead stuff as he was more interested in the dogs on either side of him! It will all come in time though so i' m not worried. Enjoy the experience of the show but don't worry if it's not a success first time!

    Just had a look at Milo in your profile he looks lovely:D How is he settling in? Do you have anymore pics of him as we are all suckers for puppy pics:D

    Thank you very much. I have uploaded another pic much the same as last one. Milo is a typical puppy with the patience of a newt or smaller so taking photos isn't easy as you will know. However he is settling in nicely and gets on well with the two Ridgebacks. I will send more photos as time goes by. Great forum by the way and very busy!:)

    Oh yes I think we all know about that with our B's. Glad he has settled well with the RR's, they do seem to go well together. We have someone else in the breed in the UK who has both RR's and B's. Look forward to seeing more pics as he grows:D

    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!

    How long does it take to potty train a puppy.

    @tanza @debradownsouth Exactly what I meant. Like a child, you cannot expect a pup to do something their body has not grown enough to do. It's been years since I've had a puppy in the house. "Bug" came to me at 18months, well past potty training. (Thank heavens!)

    I am lucky with my guy. Although he has attempted digging a few times and been told "no", he doesn't take advantage of my absence to pursue the habit. One exception was when I assume he was cold, and he dug his way under the comforter on the bed, managing to do some damage to the foamy we have on the bed to make it softer. (never assume the bed that felt soft enough in the showroom will be so when you get it home! :) ) He has free run of the house and seldom abuses the privilege. Obviously if the damage occurs when you are gone the only solution is to restrict his access to the things he is likely to harm. Or suffer the consequences. ;)

    @tsjoe007: What you can try in these conditions is to rev up the sensitivity of the camera (you remember, the ASA thing ;) ) for instance from 200 or 400 ASA to 1600 or even 3200. But beware ! The "noise" will rise too so if you want to print the photos on a format greater than A4 the noise will be very prominent so you have to compare the pro's and con's. Again, practice, practise, practise. Better take 50 pictures than to wait for the right moment to shoot. That's the benefit of shooting digital !;) I don't like to high ISO's, because of the noice.. especially not if you can put another lens on your cam. Professional photographers not only have more experience.. they also have more money to spend on lenses…. that's another BIG advantage.. Better filters.. better feeling for composition.. better photoshop programmes.. etc ;)
