    Oh no, poor Tillo. What was your trainer thinking of if the SP had already been a problem.

    I hope Tillo recovers physically and mentally. Has he had an antibiotic jab? Dog bites can harbour nasty germs.

    To err is human to forgive is canine

    Janneke, I just saw this
    I am so sorry Tillo had to experience that "not so nice dog's teeth up close"…I am glad he is feeling better..yes, you can do it, go for the July 10th competition and tell us all about how great he did..:D:D

    I was away so didn't see this…

    Janneke, I'm so sorry that happened to Tillo. You do such a great job with him and it sounds like he is recovering from the wounds and fear nicely - thanks to you! Fingers crossed things continue to go well so you can try him at your upcoming agility!

    Well.. tonight we had a 30 min. training to practice the weave poles. Tillo did ok. He was more excited than normal when we got out of the car and he had a big ridge when we walked to the field, but we were there 30 min before we started, so he was all calmed down at the beginning of the training :)

    I asked the trainer what he is going to do with Tillo and the Shar pei and he isn't sure yet.. :confused: This wednesday he will have a look and discuss it with the other trainers. He said that there is always a possibility that Tillo will be in a group with a male he doesn't like… so he doesn't think it's necessary to change the group. I told him I will quit and look for another training if he doesn't change something.. We'll see.. we'll see...

    @donc said in Agility training: Dogs also have different inclinations. That is probably going in my top ten of understatements for 2018. :) I had a Rottweiler from a long line of herding titles, all the siblings. His only goat at sheep herding was to mark my leg. Even handler friends tried... nope. Wasn't wasting his energy on stupid sheep. Dining room tables are their natural habitat!

    Hello Chealsie508, First off, very lovely pics. I am no basenji expert, but have come to the realization that Bs can at times be a bit disobedient as far as listening to commands go. Me and my B are currently in obedience class and she is towards the bottom of the class (during class…but much better at home)! I would try and redirect Oakley when he wants to nip with giving him an appropriate toy for that activity...be consistent. Hormones could be a factor and I agree he is in his terrible 2s and testing you and your limits, perhaps trying to be the dominant pack leader. He may just be playing and doesn't realize he is hurting you...pull away and say OWWW real loud every time. With licking the tops of soda cans, I am a little lost there since I have not witnessed such behavior or at least not with such focus...I know it sounds easy but also try and redirect the activity with something else Oakley may like...when he goes for the can tell him to sit, praise him "good sit" and treat, then walk away. Hope you find this helpful.

    Isis is darling! By all means do a 'well baby' visit with your vet, and order the DNA swab for fanconi, huge peace of mind. I had a wonderful Isis many years ago, I love the name!

    That is great! I am hoping to get Tupper to go biking with me once all the snow and salt is gone.

    @Nemo: Yep you can use a clicker for that too. I used a clicker to help me touch both of my dogs mouths, to brush their teeth, look at their teeth, touch their feet, hold their head, etc. when needed. I'll give it a try - maybe I can find a different clicker, one with a softer pop. It's funny sometimes how the cookie crumbles - I can't show Trinity, yet she's the one who lets me get right in her face, in her mouth, stands still when I want to inspect her…:p
