Wade Burck 2010???

Not hardly. This dude is doing shows 7 days a week on a 30+ week season. Not 10 shows a year in Evansville. He is training them in all that spare time you have on a mudshow not in a barn for 11 months out of the year.

As an old mud show trouper I agree that 7days a week for along season is adrag, but still its nice to get that practice time in he tent in the same situation as the show itself. Better than in the "backyard" so to speak. Looks that the cage is "set" every monrning.

I note they do not do six packs or nine packs. Gunther practiced during those times.

Col. Tanglefoot,
Thank you. I was waiting for a skilled trainer to make that exact same point. I knew if I did, there would be a lot of moaning and whining. LOL I have known act's who "fought" to get on a tent show, instead of a building show, for the exact reason that the training situation was exactly as you described, "just like being at winter quarters." Longevity helps you recognize advantages as well as disadvantages. It would be nice if "supposedly" skilled trainers would sign their name, so that you could check their "credentials", wouldn't it, Col.

P.S. More important then where practice is done, Anonymous should wonder where Casey learned the "gaff" on this behavior. Much more valuable then where/when you practice.

Wade,
I GOT THE GAFF FROM YOU!!!!
I think I have said that a 100 times on the internet already. But in case someone missed it, here it is again. Wade Burck (No E at the end so you know it is sincere), I cannot stress how much I appreciate the guidance and help you have given me in training my cats...unfortunately... the advice you have given me on congeniality is not winning any awards.....lol

As far as the practice. We don't do many six packs, but we also don't do many multi day stands. I get one hour before doors everyday to practice. I use it (even on the six pack weekends) Wade is correct in that having the "gaff" is important, being tenacious is important as well. Most of the time I am just to dumb to stop trying.

Casey,
Help Anonymous Mutt #2 understand better, would you. You practice an hour a day on the road. Did you practice that same hour at winter quarters? AM#2 doesn't seem to understand that an hour a day, anyplace/anytime, is much more useful then an hour once or twice a week, and far better then 10 hours a day. No matter where you are at, you can only practice so much, before it start's going backwards on you. Plus my having 12 elephants, and 14 additional tigers to see too, only left about an hour a day for practicing.
I never could offer you any "congeniality" tips. You had done very well on your own(in fact I took notes). Tenacious is important if you have the time(Does tenacious mean "to dumb to stop trying" or to dumb to do it right the first time?) LOL If not the "gaff" will get you the result's in the shortest period of time, with the path of least resistance.
Be safe friend,
Wade Burck

Mud shows are the best place to break in young elephants.
In the back yard, an occasional dog, pony or llama running between or behind them.
Flapping side wall while they work and an occasional tree stump or tomb stone included in the ring.

I don't practice at ALL at home in the winter. I have a theory that the cats are like NFL or NBA athletes, they work and train hard all season so they can lounge around for the off season. This system has worked great for me thus far. I will work on a youngster (I seem to get one every winter) so it will be mostly desensitized by the time we load up and leave. 1 or 2, one hour sessions I feel is plenty practice a day. I got this practice also doing building dates, but I was tenacious about setting up the arena behind the building too. My hero, Wayne Franzen (Here you go Chic, watch this) worked harder then any person I have met to date. And Gunther, the most famous animal trainer since I have been alive, was known for working very hard. I assumed at a young age that working harder would make you better at something. Just my opinion....What the hell do I know.....LOL

Casey,
NFL, NBA, MLB, Rodeo athletes, etc. Dressage, Cutting, Reining and performance horses in general work out in the weight room daily or the riding arena least they lose, what they developed during the season. It prevents career ending injuries at the worst, wear, tear, stress on bones, ligaments, tendons at the least. Nothing, does nothing, while awaiting for the new season to start.
