I know that even though your human doesn't want to get involved with fancy Obedience competition stuff, we still think it's really good for bonding to keep up with training classes and it's great for stimulating our minds too! You know what they say - working doggies are happy doggies! :-) <br /><br />Slobbers,<br />Honey the Great DaneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116997529248428606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211028348023574252.post-89324447955078695502012-02-04T12:12:50.399+10:302012-02-04T12:12:50.399+10:30Oh CONGRATULATIONS Rory & Stella!! What wonder...Oh CONGRATULATIONS Rory & Stella!! What wonderful achievements! Bet your family is sooooooo proud of you!<br /><br />And Hsin-Yi wants to say sorry - she has been having a really busy week and hasn't had to chance to respond to Carol's email yet - and we didn't have a chance to comment on your last post either, with the Sit question - but it sounds like you've found your own happy medium! :-) <br /><br />Yeah, Hsin-Yi always found it hard in class that the trainers often wanted me to behave like the other smaller doggies but things for us Danes can be a bit different! She doesn't teach me an Automatic Sit in the Heel anyway, coz that would be so inconvenient in dancing (imagine if I sat down every time my human stopped walking - that would totally ruin any choreography!) - and she also didn't follow everybody else in class about making me sit at the curbs when waiting to cross the road - coz I take soooooo long to put my bum on the ground that the lights have often changed and it's time to cross - but since Hsin-Yi's given the command, she has to stay to enforce it - which means we miss the lights to cross...grrrr!! So now, I just Stand & Wait at the curb, instead of Sit most of the time. <br /><br />Same with Down - it takes me so long to do it and I don't like doing it on hard, uncomfortable surfaces so Hsin-Yi doesn't make me do it unless really necessary. I have a very solid Stand Stay and I am very calm - so she doesn't hink it matters! Some things DO have to be changed for us giant doggies and sometimes, you just have to stick with doing things your own way - as long as you're still well-behaved & under control, who cares? :-)<br /><br />Hsin-Yi said the hardest part about raising me was learning when to ignore advice and to adapt things to suit ME & MY size and MY slower speed. Unfortunately, we can't do a lot of the things as easily as the smaller, more agile, faster doggies - and we shouldn't really have to! :-) <br /><br />Oh - and Hsin-Yi also wanted to say that she also agrees that Everyday 'real life' obedience is far more important than that fancy stuff in the ring! Although I can do a lot of the formal Obedience stuff, Hsin-Yi still mostly practises the everyday type training with me - coz it's far more important that we doggies can behave & listen in real-life situations with real-life distractions, than all the ribbons & titles in the ring. We've seen Obedience champions who can't recall in a real park!! *roll eyes* So Hsin-Yi think it's useless doing all that fancy stuff if you can't do the 'real' stuff! :-) <br /><br />Anyway, sorry this is all so late and probably totally useless to you now but thought we'd still share our thoughts anyway, since you asked!<br /><br />Slobbers,<br />Honey the Great DaneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116997529248428606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211028348023574252.post-61931955172207968762012-02-03T08:09:09.575+10:302012-02-03T08:09:09.575+10:30Congratulations on your graduation out of grade on...Congratulations on your graduation out of grade one obedience.

It hurts, yup have your hoomans watch your long legs when you sit.... i bet your knees hit your big chest and it's not very comfy. Some dogs just don't have the body for it so Rory if you don't like to sit I think it's ok. A good down never hurt anyone.<br /><br />woof - TuckerTuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11104633171052697599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211028348023574252.post-7820824750357599162012-01-31T19:31:51.915+10:302012-01-31T19:31:51.915+10:30Well done clever doggies...however I am more impre...Well done clever doggies...however I am more impressed with your stretching techniques in the first photo..wow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211028348023574252.post-1024687506086532152012-01-31T18:22:57.914+10:302012-01-31T18:22:57.914+10:30Hi Guys!!!

When does your next class start?<br /><br />Glad to see Rory is growing so well. Sounds like a good weight for his age. Most of the male Danes mama has known weighed in the 170 - 180 lb. range as adults, although she had one that was 220 lbs without an ounce of fat on him. You may not outgrow the Irish Wolfhound, Rory, but you're sure gaining on him.<br /><br />And Tyler, Abby sends a wink back at you!<br /><br />Jed & AbbyJed and Abby in MerryLandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782709825274199133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211028348023574252.post-47885304356786802602012-01-29T15:40:59.362+10:302012-01-29T15:40:59.362+10:30Congrats, Stella-down-under and Rory:
