      All Breed Herding - The Next Steps Training Video II
    From Lynn Leach & Down River Farm   

 

Do you want to learn drills that help extend and widen your dog's outrun?    
    How about trial skills including take pens and freestanding obstacles?
    Do   you want an introduction to driving?

 

If you answered "yes" then you need All Breed Herding     the Next Steps!

 

The Next Steps picks up where the Introduction to All Breed Herding movie     finishes. The Next Steps is 59 minutes long, and begins with solutions for:     slowing your dog down, respecting the flight zone and teaching a straight     walk-up. The movie then demonstrates drills to: extend and widen the outrun,     trial skills including take pens and freestanding obstacles, and introduce     driving.

 

 

"there is so much information in this video you will have       to go through it a few times to take it all in. It is like having a two       month clinic in your own home. There are so many tricks and tips, many       examples of drills with so many breeds that you are bound to learn something       or find something on it that will help make you a better trainer." -       Nancy Ireland

 
 

In this video we use both trained and untrained dogs. By including both     you will see the common mistakes new handlers make, solutions for these mistakes     and the correct way to train.

 

"Lynn's videos show a clear progression of skills, with       a nice variety of drills and exercises to work on at each step along the       way. The clarity of progression and breakdown of skills far exceeded what       I had come across in previous working videos that I have seen." -       Cathy Kudryk

 

If you are looking to compete with confidence, this video presents training     methods that you and your dog will love.

 

"I would recommend this video as one of the best! It's       about time someone put out a comprehensive video for herding with all breeds." -       Nancy Ireland

 

Your newfound confidence will increase your energy, enthusiasm and success     when competing. Making competitions more enjoyable for you and your dog!

 

   

"I chose Downriver's All Breed Herding videos because       I wanted a good set of steps to follow at home. I recommend these videos:       it is always good to have as much information as you can!" - Kim Mordaunt

   

The       filming was produced in high quality digital format; both herding dog training       DVDs were professionally filmed, edited and narrated.

What's New? Dogs Stories And Music

Link: Dogs Stories And Music.

One day when I was home alone with my dog, I had an idea. I was listening to my favorite classical music CD's and my puppy was enjoying the music along with me. He was staring at the CD player as if he never wanted the music to end.I started leaving music on for him when I was away from home, so that he wouldn't be lonely, and when I returned, I always found him happy and relaxed, sitting in front of the CD player. "Why don't I make a CD especially for dogs",   I thought. I know that my dog loves music and I was always making up stories to tell my dog, so I decided to combine the art of storytelling with classical music to create the perfect dog sitter and I have called it "Soothing Stories And Music For The Solo Dog". I called some of my friends and asked them to read the stories, and this CD was born.

What's New?? Reduce Canine Anxiety

Link: Premier Calming Cap.

As seen at Sitstay.com online store

Do you have a hard time cutting your dog's nails? The Calming Cap can help. We weren't sure about the Calming Cap until we tried it with our dogs. Wow, what a difference! It's easy to put on too.

The Gentle Leader Calming Cap lessens a dog's anxiety and/or aggression in high-stress situations. The Calming Cap was originally developed to ease hyperactivity in a dog that became agitated while traveling in a car. It works by reducing visual stimulus but not eliminating it completely. It is not a blindfold! The single-panel sheer fabric window makes the dog's vision indistinct while allowing the dog to navigate his surroundings if need be. Things like people, tables and doorways are still visible while smaller things like nail clippers and a vet's needles are obscured. Great for dog introductions, car rides, vet visits and nail clipping sessions. The cap connects to the dog's collar with Velcro straps and the elastic ring that surrounds the muzzle is not restrictive, making it easy to put on and take off.

What's New?? BUZZ OFF Dog Beds

Link: Orvis -- Buzz Off Dog Beds.

 

BUZZ OFF Outdoor Dog Bed from Orvis

Beginning this spring and summer, our canine friends can enjoy
protection from mosquitoes, ticks and fleas simply by taking a
comfortable snooze on a BUZZ OFF(tm) Outdoor Dog Bed from Orvis.

BUZZ OFF Insect Shield introduced the first EPA-registered
insect-repellent clothing in 2003, but dogs could only be envious.

Now, BUZZ OFF has achieved EPA registration of "gear" including items for Rover, and Orvis is at the head of the pack in offering this innovation.

Any product that helps protect dogs from bothersome insects, including ticks that have the potential to carry Lyme disease, is going to be welcomed by dog owners, but the BUZZ OFF Outdoor Dog Beds from Orvis have other features to get excited about:

The beds are perfect for outdoor use because the polyester fabric resists damage from sunlight, moisture, and stains, while the polysilk(tm) fill resists mold and mildew. To clean, you simply use mild detergent on the dog bed and hose it off to rinse

BUZZ OFF Gear(tm) uses the same patent-pending technology that created the successful BUZZ OFF Apparel lines that outdoorsmen have come to trust for insect protection even in the buggiest conditions.

Now BUZZ OFF is becoming the favorite form of insect repellent not just for hunting and fishing. Whether you're golfing, gardening, or grilling in the back yard, BUZZ OFF keeps you - and now your dog - protected.

BUZZ OFF Outdoor Dog Beds are available now in some Orvis catalogs and online at www.orvis.com. The price range is $98.00 to $119.00.
