Darky's Training Tips (More Added)

IRawrSkittles · June 2007

Yeah, Darky has decided to make some training tips. If you want to become a Sponsor Trainer, please do the following first: -Get 100 in the training Skill. This helps you train faster. Also, it comes in handy when attracting customers. -Get Refs. Refs are people who trust you. They can be people you trained for, friends, etc etc. Just make sure they know they are a ref. -Examples. Train some dogs you bought for a low price, and get the hang of it, and use them as training examples. Training may bring in the money, but it's time consuming, and you have to get a better Reputation by training all the time. Training in Skills Disc: Groom until 20, Potty train until maxed. Potty train gives you a little bit more loyalty. Show: Sit until 5, Stay until max. Stay raises your mood, which helps out a lot Sport: Fetch until 5, Retrieve until max. Retrieve also raises your mood. Work: Use either: Object ID all the way, or Object ID until 20, Wearing a Harness until maxed. I use either one. Other Training Tips -Always do the skills in 100 before 80. Example: Disc-100 Work-100 Sport-80 First do Disc & Work, then follow up with sport. -If you need to max stats without aggro, use groom, it's a lot easier then condition training. -If you need to max stats with aggro, use RH to max stats. It may take longer, but it raises aggro. -To raise stats, without aggro, groom for extra years. After you have the dog skill & stat maxed, I usually groom for an adition 5 years or more or less, depending on the dog breed. What to train dogs in Sporting Dogs Train in: 100 sport, 100 work, 80 disc, all stats to 200 with aggro. Non-Sporting Dogs Train in: 100 disc, 100 show, 80 work, all stats to 200 without aggro. Racing Hounds These would be the dogs that you use for racing, in the hound catagory. Train in: 100 sport, 100 work, 80 disc, all stats to 200 with aggro. Tracking Hounds These would be the hounds that do not race. Train in: 100 disc, 100 work, 80 sport, all stats to 200 w/ aggro Herding Train in: 100 disc, 100 work, 80 sport, all stats to 200 without aggro Toy Train in: 100 disc, 100 show, 80 sport, all stats to 200 without aggro Working Train in: 100 work, 100 disc, 80 sport, all stats to 200 with aggro Lupis Train in: 100 work, 100 disc, 80 sport, all stats to 200 with aggro Ferril Train in: 100 work, 100 disc, 80 sport, all stats to 200 with aggro Terrier Train in: 100 disc, 100 show, 80 sport, all stats to 200 without aggro Events to enter dogs in Sporting dogs Canine Disc, Flyball, Racing, Agility, Hunting, Weight-Pulling, Tracking, Mushing, Herding, Schutzhund, Dock Jumping * Non-Sporting Obedience, Showmanship, Weight-Pulling, Tracking, Mushing, Schutzhund * Hounds Racing, Agility, Flyball, Canine Disc, Weight Pulling, Tracking, Mushing, Hunting, Herding, Tracking, Dock Jumping Herding Herding, Agility, Flyball, Canine Disc, Tracking, Weight Pulling, Mushing, Hunting, Schutzhund, Dock Jumping * Toy Obedience, Showmanship, Agility(if it is for Toys only) Flyball(if it is for Toys only) * Working Tracking, Weight Pulling, Herding, Hunting, Schutzhund, Mushing, Flyball, Canine Disc, Dock Jumping, Agility * Lupis Mushing, Weight-Pulling, Herding, Hunting, Schutzhund, Tracking, Flyball, Canine Disc, Dock Jumping, Agility * Ferril Mushing, Weight-Pulling, Herding, Hunting, Schutzhund, Tracking, Flyball, Canine Disc, Dock Jumping, Agility * Terrier Showmanship, Obedience (Pit Bulls do good in Weight Pulling & Schutzhund if aggro is 200) * Enter your dog in those events listed, and find out which one it does best in. For the dogs with the * after it, it means that those dogs will do good in Conformation if the dog is an import/foundation and if aggro is low. Working on Lines I can't tell you how to breed the dogs, how many imports you need, or anything like that. I have never really gotten 10x4's, I'm still trying to figure it out with Akena. Once I have it figured out, I will tell you. Long Training This will be coming soon, where I will tell you every single step to training a dog, very time consuming. How to keep track of examples Open Wordpad or Notebook Make groups. As in: Grooming (list examples) [5 years] 280/200 training w/ aggro (list examples) Next to the grooming examples, put how many years you've groomed. :-D Competition Level (I know a lot of people know this, but still posting it) Junior Under 300 Novice 299-1000 Regional 999-5000 National 4999-15000 International 14999 and higher I got this off the help guide More Training Tips -If you want to raise loyalty, groom or Potty train. -If you want to raise aggression, RH. -If you want to raise stats, without aggression, groom. -If you want to raise stats with aggression, RH. -If you don't want a high aggression, but don't want aggression to become very lower, Groom but RH when needed. -Don't exhaust your dog, it lowers loyalty by 4. -Don't condition train More coming -Darky

I don't think there is anything besides RHing to raise aggro. And what do you mean by raising stats for breeding?

Kristio0o · June 2007

what i mean by that is training guide to get 10x4s like what ways will help to get them faster, and different training techniques that will help dogs

Yeah but I made my own earlier ^^;

IRawrSkittles · June 2007

Well, I added tons more stuff :-D

Chessie · June 2007

For my line of Brazilian Terriers, I used 18 imports. It was my first line of dogs. I did reach 10x4's.

UnknownDreamland · June 2007

I use 8 imports to a line. 4 pairs. You breed them, you get 2 pairs, breed them, you get 1 pair. Breed them, you get a dog. Hopefully a 10x4, if not. Do another line. Clean. I'm at 7x4s with my cairns with this technique

KelseyImports · June 2007

I will use this.

Bedlington, there's already an event guide here somewhere ;3

Purpleflurple · March 2008

This stuff was soo helpful! Thanks for taking the time to write this, I know it can take a while. Do you think next time you could put a guide that has to do with raising stats?? For example: To raise stats in agression: RH To raise stats in loyalty: PF That'd be great if you made a guide like that!

rohesia · June 2008

I've actually found condition training useful. In stat maxes w/o aggro, each turn I condition once then groom/potty train once or twice. This raises stats a little less quickly (like 1 point per turn grooming vs 0.9points w/condition) but saves from having to hit "Repeat" 5 times every turn. Grooming also works, it just gets a little tedious especially if you're training multiple dogs at a time.

There is a Super Groom option in the dropdown box that allows you to do a groom 6X per turn (rather than press repeat) its very useful if endy is over 140

Howdy, Stranger!
