Treibball is basically herding big balls instead of sheep.

She might like that. She does actually round up the birds with me. Gets a bit over excited with horses, and would not trust her with sheep...but balls....

Thankyou katiehound. The local obediance club I've asked for more details are on that list, but I can't find local ''HTM''. I think we would like it. I've trained quite a bit with clicker, but prefer not to use clicker but positive reinforcment methods still. I'm not very skilled at shaping, so I think HTM might improve my skill at that and take it to other things I do. Which is an interesting idea....but can't find anything local atm.

You could e-mail canine freestyle and ask if there is a club in your area becasue maybe that list I gave above doesn't have everything. have a look at their home page too- there are some links which might help you
e-mail address is:
HTM has been growing over the last 5 years, my friends were in at the start near enough!
Wish I could remember the name of the other organisation, I had a feeling it was linked with Mary Ray.

Another thing you might like to try is basic obedience - some companion dog shows have obedience classes which can be a bit of fun. Well that is how I treated them!

Talking Dogs Rally - the site says its suitable for all abilities.

Afraid i don't know much about it, just spotted a "rally" class on the new trainers site and was curious.

videos to watch. We took part (long ago) with Kath Hardman in a training session at a large dog show in Essex. Great fun all these people trying out the routine. I see no training days are listed
