She seems to have slowed down the growth a little which has also meant her appetite has decreased (and it was small in the first place, very much like her mother). She is extremely picky with her food.. won't eat her veggies in the morning and thinks I am trying to poison her when I try to give her fish oils (covered in peanut butter). In contrast Red now eats all her breakfast! Having babies has made her a) hungrier and b) more affectionate.<br />
Zen is a girl who is ALL about motion. She gets bored pretty quickly doing static behaviours, especially as I am rewarding with kibble to decrease the amount of rubbish she gets while growing. I can only do a few reps before breaking her off to play or to chase thrown kibble. She differs from her mother there, Red is all over ANY training and gets OTT excited (complete with dilated pupils). When I bring motion in (particularly chasing me), Zen thinks it is the best fun ever. She is very fast when she drives to catch me, not as fast when she is working away.<br />
Currently we are working on: body awareness.. she has quite a lot of angulation in her backend and her hocks are considerably further out than Reds'. I have noticed this makes it harder for her to control them and place her back feet accurately. We are working on walking the ladder backwards and sideways, as well as other bits and pieces. Her cone wrapping is going pretty well, and we have JUST started flatwork in H360. She enjoys her cone wrapping. She does grids approx once/week (and set point when I remember) and quite likes them. Her jumping seems reasonable, not as drivey or extended as her mother, but she also seems to be able to collect, which is novel. She has also started foottargetting (not a fan), nose touches (coming along OK but see earlier note re static behaviours) and her 'back' and 'turn' (L and R wrap). She impressed me, actually, as I always teach this with luring and it normally takes FOREVER for the dog to get it. She has already got the 'back' direction and I think 'turn' isn't far off. Smart-ish, maybe.. (hopefully not too smart as I am against smart BCs in agility).<br />
<br />
Red has been back in the ring for about a month and she is so much fun. We had 2 or 3 trials in a row with little stuff going wrong, mainly bars and flying off the new height see-saw. Saturday night we both got it together and managed to win BOTH masters agility and jumping beating some fast dogs so that was exciting. We will continue to work on her turning ability..esp running into front crosses. She will always prefer to jump straight then turn. She is not happy on the new height See Saw so we have more work to do there. I have decreased the amount of weaving she does as it is the obstacle hardest on their backs, so I was pleased she got the hard soft sided entry on Sat night. I was having a play with her running dog walk, but have decided to leave the stop as it is for everything apart from straight exits. The nationals are coming up very quickly now, hope we are ready in time. Most importantly, with all the work I am doing with her she is staying sound (touch wood!) and hasn't needed much body work.<br />

I am really enjoying training her, she is similar to Red in many ways, not quite as drivey yet but she has a very long stride and is heaps of fun. Below are some vids of stuff we have been working on.<br />

Red dog is back in the ring which feels great! I was really pleased with how she ran last weekend, only 1 run out of 6 with bars, and apart from a see-saw fly off (1st go at new height in the ring) all the mistakes were mine! Capped off by a win in MJ on Sunday. We have the Western Classic tonight and tomorrow night, hopefully I can manage to be a better handler for her.<br />

I learnt a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the course. We covered all sorts of topics, from doing 'sports ready' exams with dogs BEFORE they start major training/competing, conditioning plans, lameness exams for those subtle to see soft tissue injuries, the type of injuries sports dogs tend to get, and recommended treatment including retraining programs. I particularly enjoyed the information on the importance of lead legs and what it can mean if a dog is on the 'wrong lead' as it is not something I have thought much about before, despite having a riding background as well. I am hoping to complete the rest of the Canine Rehabilitation Institute's rehab course, with the next section being offered in October. In the meantime I am changing the way I condition the dogs, to a slightly more targeted/ scientific method. And also including the dogs that don't do agility (it is now a sea of dogs in the conditioning room in the mornings! All except Zen!) And the supplements have had an overhaul as well. Chris also kindly looked at the Red Dog for me, and was happy with all her muscles apart from the paraspinals and ventral obliques which we need to improve.<br />
I think Zen grew about a foot when I was away.. photos to come soon.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047769037910173825.post-44097569160376423642016-02-08T01:48:00.001-08:002016-02-08T01:48:12.657-08:00Zen 13.5 weeks and a very naked Red Dog!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She is such a sweetie, and really fun to play with/train. She is still not a big fan of food, but she is able to train for kibble for her morning session when she is hungry. As long as I keep it fairly active.. she is a big fan of the movement. She is doing reasonably well in her body awareness but doesn't have really anything on cue properly yet, so I get a lot of offering whatever we last worked on. She can stand on all 4 paw pods, back up, back up onto something and we started teaching R/L paw 2 days ago which she picked up in one session. We are also working on having nice position in sit and down, sit is coming along nicely but down is still a work/flop in progress.<br />
<br />

<br />
Her recalls are pretty good, unless my other dogs are out and she is in sheepdog mode. I don't call her when she is running with them, unless I am close enough to enforce it. She is a little rocket in her restrained recalls but I have stopped doing them for the moment as she doesn't have enough body awarness to decelerate/stop once she has the toy and tends to slip/do a somersault, even with me letting the toy go. Retrieves are still a work in progress.. we work on that everyday. She finds it fun to run off with the toy, of course, although by using a conveniently stashed papillon I am using a bit of jealousy to ensure a quick return when she does bunk off. I just introduced a tiny bit of 'jumping' in the last couple of days. I don't do a lot with my puppies but figure a little bit won't hurt. The vids below show the total number of reps she has seen.<br />

<br />
She had a tiny go at a small grid at 4ft apart and did pretty well, we have to train in the park as the garden has just had new lawn laid and she was a very good girl with her focus and sit stays<br />
<br />

<br />
She is also a bit more confident out the front, although still doesn't like it when cars drive past. We will continue to work on that. The park is being utilised to the full to find nice dogs for her to run with...most of the time she has been enjoying this. We did have a run in with a golden retriever that attacked her Mother 2 days ago, luckily Rosi was OK but a little bit shaken (as was I, no idea WHY the dog was off lead as it was clear this is not the first time he had done that). Zen sensibly bolted inside, but was OK coming back out afterwards to play.<br />
<br />
Rosi is well and truely back in work now, and I am loving having her back. Her enthusiasm and love of the game cannot be beaten, in my opinion. She has lost all her baby weight (that, uh hmm, may have taken awhile given how much weight I put on her..) and is jumping full height again. We were supposed to trial on Saturday night, but the trial was cancelled due to bad weather. I am focussing mainly on her jumping form and trying to get her to shift more onto her hindquarters rather than be so on her forehand all the time, and this is also a work in progress. We are currently doing Ann Croft's jumping course and while the exercises are nothing new, it is nice to get someone else's eyes on her. She continues to adore her daughter and plays with her all the time. Love my Red Dog!<br />

I have been loving having a puppy in the house again, especially at this stage where they are all loving and sweet. Enjoying it before adolescence starts! Zen is definitely sweeter than her Mother, she will often come up and give me kisses and cuddles and likes to chew a toy sitting on my lap. I am very much enjoying her, she likes to train but is definitely 'softer' than her Mother at this stage. I have to be careful I don't overface her (especially training with kibble), as she will wander off and quit if she doesn't think it is worth it. Her body awareness is coming on, yesterday she managed to get all 4 feet up on the paw pods, and her backing up is quite good (and is the current default behaviour if she is not sure what I want, time to name it I think!). Her RZ is also pretty good, and she is a very happy heeler. Her retrieves seem to have become a bit lost, so I have taken her back into the hall for sessions of rewarding bringing to hand. She is a very social girl and has had lots of meet and greets at the park (from which she *mostly* still comes back!) She is a bit sound sensitive to various things at the moment, including birds, which I am hoping is a phase she grows out of. All in all she is good fun, and I just adore her cute little face! Pics below, and a clip from one of her walks (my current favourite part of the day). </div>

Everyone keeps asking me if the house is quiet.. well, I suppose it is quietER but not sure a house with 4-6 dogs will ever be quiet! Love my Zen girl, she really is a nice pup. Would say she is probably medium drive at this point, she is a bit so-so with her food, but LOVES her toys. She will tug anywhere which is great and her retrieve is coming along as long as I manage the environment.. (ie. have it so she has nowhere to go but past me!) She is sleeping a lot which I had forgotten about.. as it has been 5 years since we have had a pup in the house. She has great plays with Tex, he thinks she is marvellous as she is still (just) smaller than him. Give it another few days..<br />
It is lovely to hear Caroline, Julia and Denise are really enjoying their pups as well, and everyone seems happy with their confident, go-getter attitudes to life.<br />
I bullied Mike into taking Zen's 8 week pics, in the park outside our house. <br />

Wow what a difference with a professional who knows what she is doing.. the boys stacked beautifully, first go. Fleet was not as good but not too bad and Mist was terrible. Haha, takes after her Mother. Her stacked shot isn't perfect as she really wasn't co-operating. Robyn confirmed my overall opinions about each pup and the litter as a whole. There have been BIG improvements in the pelvis's of all, compared to their Mother and I am really pleased about that. Mostly the toplines are much improved as well. Their fronts could be better, all could do with more shoulder layback, which would also improve their necks. Bone is mostly good. Overall, I am very pleased with them!<br />
<br />
I have very much enjoyed the experience of raising the pups in combination with Rosi, and she has been such a good Mother it has made it pretty easy. They have done a lot and seen a lot, and I hope they turn out to be happy and healthy family pets and agility dogs.<br />
<br />
So without further ado:<br />

They did great! Very focussed, no problems with working for food and toys, interchanging both out easily. This was the 2nd time I had shaped them to stand on a wobble cushion (first yesterday). The boys were hungrier than the girls as they missed out on a feed from Rosi, and you can tell as they were a little less happy to switch back to a toy.. but the reluctance was only brief. They are such fun to play with! They have already worked out that training is a lot of fun, you might hear the hysterics of the pups in the background on the vid, that wanted another turn!<br />

They have been busy, as usual. They come with us on some walks to the park, just a little way in to climb up/down the hill and explore different terrain. They went to an agility friends' property last night and saw some agility for the 1st time (not that they noticed much as they were wrapped up playing with a toy).<br />

This week, as well as tugging, I introduced a little tiny bit of retrieving. They did very well yesterday, of course not as well today when the tape was on! This is also the week I will start rewarding for body handling, and doing some anti resource guarding exercises. The pups I think most likely to be going on the plane have been doing desensitisation work in the crate (chewing chicken necks). As they are very much on their feet and running around everywhere I have covered all my tiled area in rubber matting to avoid slipping. My garden has been cordoned off so they can't tackle any stairs, as they are not good for them under 12 weeks.<br />
It is a very busy time of year with family and Christmas, so I might not be updating as much as I have been, but I promise the pups are still getting everything. I don't know how I am going to bear saying goodbye!<br />
A show breeder friend has agreed to stack them for me in a weeks time, so I will post those pics here. Might have to wet them down as they have all of a sudden grown coat.. it does not look like they will be short coats after all.<br />

They had another busy day, went to visit the minis and Dash again in the morning, and out to dinner with us last night to a friends' house. Their 'man-handling' target has been very much increased, so I think we are OK there. Will find some more children in the next few days. They are starting to show a bit more interest in food.. but Rosi is still feeding them every few hours, including through the night (we found this out to our detriment when we tried to lock them away so they couldn't get out of the pen.. but then Red couldn't get in so we had a very wakeful night with indignant, hungry babies!)<br />
Can't believe there is only 1 photo shoot to go.. less than 3 weeks left!<br />

All of them did SO well. Food was cooked lamb heart and this is the very first time they had food for the beginnings of the 'give'. Second ever formal 'tug' session.<br />
Vids below to keep everyone (hello, Denise!) happy ;)<br />

Some vids of playing with the pups this morning.<br />
Uber was asleep for the 1st session for breakfast, he had his go when he woke up but my videographer had enough.<br />
Fleet got a bit scared by the dogs barking during her go, they all don't like dogs barking at the moment which is totally normal for 5 weeks. No other sounds worry them though.<br />
Yesterday they were introduced to the pool.. they watched their mother swimming and Mist may have had an unplanned dip herself.<br />
More visitors this morning, and tommorow morning we are going back to Pamela and Tom's.. by themselves this time. Off to another agility property later in the week so lots planned! I have my last shift at work on Tuesday and then I am off for a month.. so lots of time to do lots with my babies.<br />
Enjoy the vids<br />

They have been busy! Weds night we added another 2 surfaces, they had a good play on the tarp that was placed so it was quite noisy. Then I added a corrugated steel door, and they all had a play on that as well.<br />
They are all having a 'problem solving' and shaping session each day. At the moment the problem solving is a chain of balance cushions with the food being moved a little further each time (luring, I know, but its not in front of their noses). The shaping now has been starting crate training as two of the pups will be going on a plane. Fleet, Uber and Styx are going well, getting most of their bodies in the crate. Mist had a bit of a set back as she got growled at by Shimmer near the crate before the 1st session so she is not as sure.<br />
All the pups are tugging, on everything. So much for holding off till 6 weeks!<br />
They have been a little light on male visitors, so yesterday they met 3. It was a big afternoon for them!<br />
More outings planned for the weekend and next week.<br />
Rosi is continuing to be a model Mother.. feeding and playing with them well. Its lovely to see her enjoy them so much.<br />
I will do a 5 week photo shoot soon.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047769037910173825.post-63273258555930902282015-12-07T22:48:00.000-08:002015-12-07T22:48:00.620-08:001st shaping sessionPups had their first shaping session today. Apparently BBQ chicken was a good incentive as all did really well! I was clicking for interaction with the paw pod, and at the end of the 2 min session all pups had 2 front paws on the pod. Not bad for a first effort!<br />
They also did their body awareness chain of cushions and foam this morning for breakfast and nearly all got to the end. The novel thing today was the vacuum cleaner, all looked but didn't seem concerned. Mist climbed out of the pen to get a closer look.. I will also take them out again in the car to do some errands this afternoon.<br />
Below are some little clips that Karen took on Sunday afternoon.<br />

EDITED to add that took a VERY long time to upload so other clip cancelled!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047769037910173825.post-14681629449107944942015-12-06T21:00:00.000-08:002015-12-06T21:00:04.682-08:004 week pics!Slightly delayed, sorry. Have been very busy socialising the puppies. We had 2 to visit on Sat night, then Sunday we had 3 groups of people. This morning as well as a new little and big dog, man and woman, they also met Pamela's lovely 2 mini horses, and a neighbours big horse, and some chooks! They did REALLY well on their first visit off the property. They went without Rosi, I just took Tex along for company. They whinged a bit in the car on the way, but when we got there they came out of the car and started playing on the lawn straight away. Non phased by all the animals they met, confident and running around,I was really pleased. They are passed out asleep now!<br />
Toilet training is coming along well, I am just treating them like I would any other puppy and taking them outside frequently. We are only having the odd accident so far. I had a sand toilet box in the pen, but they are sleeping in it more than anything else and making a big mess.<br />
I watched the puppy culture DVD last night, and as well as the 'novel items' each day (which we do), it is advised to start training and problem solving exercises with them. So I started last night, little difficult as they are still only so-so on the food. Rosi is feeding them well, and I am not going to stop that. Last night I introduced the clicker, and this morning we did their first set of body awareness/problem solving. I set up a chain of balance cushions and a half dome and used a plate of tinned food as the reward. They all did really well and got to the end. Will try and video that soon.<br />
In the meantime, here are some pics. I had a little go at trying to stack (practising for the official stack). Very pleased with their structure so far. Unfortunately I had my hand all over the front ends, making that impossible to see, oops. No stack from Uber as he had a little accident and was just getting fed on the table.<br />

For their birthday they got a new outside pen..and they were wormed, haha. Not too keen on the taste (its supposed to be chocolate..) The weather has been very hot and humid here so outside time has been a little limited. AND they have started eating solids. Moderately keen, they still prefer Mums' milk.<br />
Yesterday I cut their nails again, all very good. Tomorrow Aunty Ellie is coming to see them, very excited as she lives in Sydney.<br />
Sunday is going to be a busy day, with Caroline coming in the morning, then Aunty Karen for lunch then Izzy my riding instructor in the afternoon! Plus hopefully some more kid socialisation with the cricketers. Monday they go for their first car trip (apart from their birth of course...) Off to Pamela and Toms' lovely property in the Swan Valley, where they have a date with their super-cute toy poodle (and agility star in the making), Dash. We are doing handling of body parts every day, and I have started taking them out into our park (in my arms), one at a time. Mist went first and she was quite overwhelmed, despite the park being empty. It will be interesting to see what they all think. I have decided not to tug with them until they are a bit older, maybe 6 weeks or so, although I encourage any interactions they have with the toys strung up for them.<br />
Vid below, 1st time in the new pen!<br />

Pups are all getting more confident outside, still supervised and not out for very long periods, I bring them back in when they get tired.<br />
Did their second nail trim and all were pretty well behaved. The sound CD is on as I type and no-one seems bothered by it.<br />
Also did a weigh-in, results as follows:<br />
Fleet 1.4 kg gain of <b>500g</b><br />
Uber: 1.7kg gain of <b>600g</b><br />
Mist 1.6kg gain of <b>500g</b><br />
Styx 1.9kg gain of <b>600g</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Happy that everyone is gaining about the same amount of weight, and it appears the boys are still winning the battle for milk! I checked all their hearts today and all sound normal. At 4 weeks (in 2 days) I will start to introduce some puppy food which will be their kibble soaked in hot water. The ratio of Calcium:Phosphorus is very important for the correct growth of bones and I was very surprised at the number of ('trendy', expensive, grain-free etc) foods that have wrong ratios. For optimum growth, especially for larger dogs, the ratio should be close to 1:1, with MAX 1.2 (calcium) to 1 (phosphorus). Rosi has been on black hawk, but I ended up buying eukanuba large breed puppy for the pups to wean onto. Good ratio of Ca:P (1.1 :1) and chicken and turkey are listed as the 1st ingredient, NOT corn.<br />

Pups had their 1st exposure to children yesterday. I live on a park, and they have junior cricket on Sunday mornings. I had a hunch that if I walked out of my gate with the babies in my arms I would be mobbed.. and I was. The kids were very good, we sat in a circle and played pass the puppy. Kids pick was Fleet, they all loved her. Cricket is likely to be continuing a bit longer, so that's my child socialization sorted.<br />
They are definitely more mobile on their feet.. and Mist and Uber have started 'running' (of a sort, for about 3 strides!) Rosi is starting to play with them.. I have seen her play a very gentle 'bitey face' with Styx twice now. She is being such a good girl with them.<br />
All pups are playing with the toys I have strung up. They are having regular outside time, and Mike has just returned from Bunnings to constuct an outside pen for them as I think they will be ready for that in a few days. I caught Styx having a lick out of Rosi's food bowl yesterday so I think on Thursday they will be ready for some food! Their teeth are definitely in, poor Red dog.<br />

This morning while they had their outside time both Styx and Uber managed to climb up a (large) step to where I was sitting. Go, boys! I have just redecorated their puppy pen with some toys hung up, kind of like a mini adventure box. As soon as I hung them, they were exploring them and chewing. Still not convinced we have ears, except for possibly Styx who did startle a little at my test clap this morning. I will start playing the sounds CD anyway today.<br />
So far surface wise they have been on the following: carpet, tiles, rubber, sand, grass, foam and pavement.<br />
Rosi is continuing to be a very attentive Mother, cleaning and feeding well. She is not sure what she thinks of the toys coming from the sky, however!<br />
Vid of 1st time they saw the toys up below. 3 week photo shoot coming this afternoon as it is a busy weekend for Mike and I.<br />

They are becoming more awake and adventurous..this morning at 5am I heard a LOT of squawking. Went to investigate and Styx was 1/2 way across the tile floor, and Uber was also out of the pen. I had clipped the top of the pen shut, but apparently I have to lock the bottom as well! I am giving them a little bit of outside time in the mornings, Uber was quite confident and walking around a fair bit out there this morning. Little Fleet, although still the littlest, is the most voracious feeder now. Attacking those nipples like her life depends on it.. and always the 1st in. Maybe she knows she has a little more growing to do than the rest? Mist is starting to seek me out when I go into them (which happens..uh.. a lot), as well as Uber. The tricolour patches on Styx's cheeks are really starting to come out, think he will have a fair amount of brown on him. It appears that it is going to the honey type of brown, like his Daddy Jetta.<br />
Pics are terrible, from my tablet. I will bully Mike into taking some more soon.<br />
