Go but it can be any release word. The dog is going when the helper takes off running regardless 😜😂. In the trial you leave the dog and go to the blind. Being a helper I know the judge will signal the helper when to run, so I watch the judge and say go when he gives the signal. Gives you dog a...

Yes, typically don’t like the idea of people working their own dogs in protection. I have seen many problems come from that. I understand it though especially when people don’t have access to a helper to work their dogs. I usually suggest working exercises with a large tug or even a ball. I have...

It sounds like bad behavior possibly stemming from lack of confidence or being startled. I have many people come to me saying their dog is act ing aggressive and most of the time it isn’t. Training at this age and giving a clear picture to be fair is important. Always mark good behavior then...

All of the titles i have gotten on all of our dogs have been either AWDF or with DVG.

This is good news for the GSD people. I have a number of GSD members in my club and it was bullshit that they would have to trial twice to get titles that would count for both organizations. I still don’t like the fact that USCA charges an additional $50 to trial at there events if you belong...

I would kennel your dog while you are gone. Your dog will feel much safer than be loose. It is also a much safer option. Dogs are den animals and it is a much better option.

Not right away but we do have two breedings with Blaze scheduled for next year.

Don’t buy your crate because of ear posting. It is a den fir them to relax, lay down take a nap ect… posting is a short time if there life

Inushuk would be my recommendation on starting a new puppy. We still feed Diamond extreme athelete but I see such great things in this food I will be switching on my next puppy.

Don’t You belong to the UDC? If so, I wouldn’t worry about join DPCA unless you are looking to compete in conformation. It is frustrating when breed clubs put off potential new members. These are volunteer club members that perform these tasks so I can see how a large influx of new applicants...

If you are training them consistently, you will not have any problems. I encourage the people who train with me to bring their females to training when they are in season. This gives us an opportunity to train dogs with that as a distraction.

Anything you do with your dog for fun is a plus. As Panama stated if the drive is there and they enjoy it, go have fun. I hate all of the discussion of euro vs. American, it really means nothing, every dog is different. Two puppies from the breeding can be completely different when it comes to...

Love it, she shows nice drive on the track. Not sure on how Dave teaches track laying, I use flags as markers but I throw them 3 feet off the track on the outside of the each corner. I don’t want my dog to start using a visual of the flag to stay on the track. I also occasionally praise and pet...

We feed Diamond, my competition dogs get Diamond extreme athlete and vertex supplement.

He is healed up now it was mid October

fir First he splinters a toe nail back into his paw and has to have it removed. Then a week later rips a piece of his pad off. 🤦🏻

Welcome to crazy working dog mode.

I have trained it different ways for different dogs. I have done send to a touch pad, send to a pole or cone snd have them go around it and come back. These methods will also work but I still like teaching full field from day one, it makes the most sense. If she is forging during heel go back...

There are lots of different ways to teach this. I like and do some of the things he talks about. We teach full distance from day one. We will have sone one hold the dog back while the handler runs down with the toy to hang it. Occasionally the handler will turn and swing the ball and say the...

This video is a prime example of interruption to the reward. The dog must down before getting the reward at the end of the field, the ultimate prize being back with the handler. That us why the dog slides to face the handler.
