 You forgot the other fun activityLazing around  For the pampered pooch that likes to be rubbed, patted and generally manja/praised to death by family members... no equipment required just a visible place to lie down and look cute... preferably right infront of the TV or living room area... edit: Most of the stuff you can make yourself or like me too lazy, just teach my dog to jump on tables and chairs... dun let the family findout This post has been edited by aaronpang: Mar 3 2006, 02:22 PM |

QUOTE(nairud @ Mar 17 2006, 08:25 AM) Piper cannot do those kinda stunts for the moment....kinda put on "weight" already i think Fitness First got open in IOI Puchong bring Piper to the stairmasta... work it baby   On another note:- I got a big doggy and at what age should we consider stopping agility coz I'm worried some owners myself included would try this on an old dog with unforseen consequences... just a concern |

Worried coz afterthat my Warga Emas OT: Piper's weight is not because of her food intake...i'm suspecting there's extra lives inside here   breaks something or tear it could be hard to heal  better not put stress on old dogs.O/T Oic extra life congratz  on being a godpa Nairud |

QUOTE(groovemaster @ Mar 17 2006, 02:28 PM) No upper age limit really n depends on how fit ur dog is. Naturally, dogs will slow down once dey reach retirement age after 7-8 yo, depending on wat breed. Hv read bout Border Collies who continue to do agility even after 10 yo. Some breeds like JRTs dun slowdown much either. Easier in Western countries coz dey also hv veteran class as well if ur old dog is still keen n active. Lower jumps n obstacles will b used 2 cater 4 d oldies. Toby is still active but I'm scared his age is catching up to him. Born in 1999... and he's a member of the giant breed... mastiff, rottie and some lab At d other end of d scale, serious jumps training shld only start ven ur dog is < 1yo. How old is ur dog n r u thinking of doing some agility?  is in his blood.Like you said retirement is just around 7 to 8 yrs old  I'm scared to play with him those games anymore might hurt himself so the I've already dismantled the table he likes to jump on...  only left chasing the bicycle and the chair |
