Comments on: Last Day of Skill Camp http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2008/12/last-day-of-skill-camp/ Agility training for all dogs of all breeds Wed, 16 May 2012 14:08:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Hope http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2008/12/last-day-of-skill-camp/comment-page-1/#comment-106 Hope Wed, 17 Dec 2008 20:19:04 +0000 http://susangarrett.wordpress.com/?p=180#comment-106 In "The last day at skills camp" you mention having to excuse a dog for having shown aggression. Since I have a behaviorally challenged dog myself who "may" show aggression towards another dog if it got in "her space" this is always a concern of mine when opting to attend workshops. While I think I do a fairly good job of managing her around other dogs I can't control someone else's out of control dog that may get in her way. Just curious who you refer people to who want to get help with these types of issues. In “The last day at skills camp” you mention having to excuse a dog for having shown aggression.

I hope that you can expand on that some day as like you said it could absolutely be the topic of another blog. I look forward to reading it.

Camp is so great b/c you leave there knowing what you need to work on and I now know where I need to go. I'm not just talking about sexy stuff either...I was dissapointed in myself that our "its yer choice" skills were more of a "work mom's reflexes" game to see how fast I could cover food or toys or lint or...but onward and upwards...back to life skills before we move to the sexy stuff. I am greatful for having the opportunity to attend camp and for a husband and dog that are so understanding. Sneak and I were beat after the past four days but I would do it all again tomorrow.

Your staff helped me train my pup continually over the week-end, even when class was finished and they were bushed. I am most grateful for their knowledge and generosity.

Stephanie and Skye are my agility classmates! Nice to see them on the blog! I continue to work through your Crate Games DVD..as Simba can be a barker in his crate when I leave him in it at workshops/classes/events. I think it's a confidence issue...It's hard to stay motivated as I work on this on my own, and am unsure if I'm doing something wrong. At home he seems to have no issues with it. :o( Sounds like a great experience! Stephanie and Skye are my agility classmates! Nice to see them on the blog!
