Great news from Louise with Sally - again!
19-11-2024: Today I received yet another wonderful message from Louise med NW1 NW1G NW2 Ravensbank Swoon (Sally). It read:"When Sally and I received our NoseWork1guld title in the beginning of August, we continued on the good streak and went straight on to the Class 2 test shortly after.
So far, we have participated in five DKK NoseWork2 tests, and twice we have been awarded the magical 100 points - the latest one last Sunday where we made it to number one of 40 teams - this means that, once again, Sally has added a new title to her merits: NoseWork2 ⭐️
It is worth noting that very few dogs have achieved this at so early in their lives.
This means that we are able to move on to Class 3... Or... and this is my goal... go after the ultimate prize, the NW2guld title! In Denmar, only three dogs have been awarded this title.
How crazy is that ????"
We are so proud to congratulate Louise and her lovely dog. And we wish you both the very best of luck at the Nosework2 Guld competition!!
The shooting season has begun
Ms. Susanne Hansen has passed the aptitude test with Banksy
Training heel with the very young dog
23-08-2024: Much inspired by the training seminar with Ms. Philippa Williams, I have given priority to the training of heelwork with the young Ravensbank Carrie (Carrie). To Ms. Williams this has the highest priority in the functional training of the puppy, and when you know the importance of heelwork as a resource in a gundog, her giving priority to this makes very much sense. So after the seminar I decided to devote time to training heelwork with Carrie, and I have made a Youtube playlist with the bits as I have trained them. This is partly inspired by the valuable thoughts presented by Ms. Williams, and partly combined with my traditional shaping. Click here to see the playlist on Youtube
Carrie is 12 weeks old in the first videos and 16 weeks old in the later ones.
Mogens passed the aptitude test with Lili
21-08-2024: Today Mr. Mogens Aagaard passed the DRK aptitude test with lovely Ravensbank Artista (Lili). Very warm congratulations with having qualified Lili to the DRK working system.Jojo received Excellent at the Danish Retriever Club Beginner Test
21-08-2024: Today, our own Ravensbank Jo (JoJo), received Excellent at official Beginner Test. This is at test with two dogs being tested at the same time, doing walk-up with forward and backward marks, a drive with a mark and a blind, a directional search within a specific area, and also a water mark. Jojo participated with Ravensbank Bruce (Bruce) handled by Ms. Pia T. Christensen, who also received Excellent.
Training seminar with Ms. Philippa Williams
It should be said, that Carries participation was cleared with Philippa who said, that her young age only meant that we only had ruined her for a week. The puppies are born learners.
So what did Carrie get out of it..... Hmmmmm - obviously not as much as any older puppy would have, but at least one thing clearly came with her home. A gigantic socialization event. Seventyfive people clapping, laughing and cheering. A highly invovled Philippa communicating lively over the outdoor monitors, and not the least other handlers, puppies and dogs who were everywhere. Carrie responded to all the turmoil with utter calmness, and we are very proud that she could stay in the training for as long as she actually did. Thank you very much to Philippa for this excellent seminar which gave loads of ideas that should find their way into our training. And thanks to Sanne for taking the risk and setting it all up.
