Some videos of Schutzhund 20 years ago til today

Thanks for posting these. I have not watched them all yet, but I will. I would like to add that I would like to see a recent one of the of the 8 month old puppy, just to see where she is now. That one scared me a bit to see such a one on that slick floor and being spun like that. I will admit that I don't know much about this sport, but she seemed kind of young for that.
 
Genny - I agree. First that looked like a slick concrete floor - OMG and then the repetition - once might have been a aqueak by but to continue the same thing multiple times was too dangerous for me. I would never have a young dogs whose bones and joints are not fully mature jerked like that. I just had that disucssion at club meeting yesterday. You also have to consider the jaw bone as you can cause major problem with that also. Unfortunately you don't always see the damage til much later when it is too late to do anything about it.

I also had the dicussion about pushing Helio too fast. Even though he is a big boy he is STILL A PUPPY both mentally and physically - so right now all I want is to work on bulding the drive and having FUN FUN FUN. I have really backed off obedience and have never used any compulsion. One bad thing can cause a dog to go into fear state and that is very hard to overcome. For them to have a fear peroid is one thing but if it is caused by a negative it is much much worse for the dog and much harder to ever bring them back.
 
This is an awesome thread,thanks D4E:thumbsup:It will take some time to go through them all.
I got sidetracked by some of the video in the side bars of one of the link.I saw this and have to ask what your take is? To my novice eye this dog is impressive.When I say novice,click one or two below that and that's me:)
