Epic learning a big lesson
January 15, 2012 in Articles, Epic, Videos
Having three girls in heat in the house can be a challenge with three intact males. This is the first time that I have noticed that Epic really found girls interesting, and a new world seemed to open for him. Instead of trying to survive these days, we’re making the most out of this high value reward. Bitches in heat will be allowed in Swedish agility trials from this year, so it’s good to be prepared. I will let the video speak for it self:
I love this! Great use of ‘life rewards’ (even if it’s just a sniff!).
How do you feel about in heat bitches being allowed in trial settings? In Australia these is a lot of debate about them in trials and dog shows – it seems things are a bit more open minded there, as I very much doubt that in heat bitches will be allowed at working events (e.g. agility or obedience) anytime soon.
I think it’s great that they are allowed now. They have been allowed in agility in Norway for quite some time, and I don’t think that’s been a big issue there.
Love it! And I bet Epic likes it as well
This is an excellent example of “When you have lemons, make lemonade!” I am especially happy with the relaxed behavior. I want a Border Collie as my next agility prospect but it scares me when I see the BC’s in my classes I attend, HYPER panting. You give me hope!! Awesome training, great dogs.
