Impressive Obedience Vid

http://www.k9sts.com/bronxmovie/

 

That's a neat video. The dog has some impressive titles.

 

this type of training creates a very level headed dog,,he can fire em up and call him back,,I loved when he was running across the car,,LOL

 

Thats was a beautiful representation of a well trained dog. The dog loved working with his handler. I loved when he was going over the car too

 

Funny,
1. I still don't think "pit bulls" need to be doing Schutzhund training or the like
2. It seems b/c his dog is well trained, he is above the law concerning leashes. The part in the parking lot was not a designated demonstration, but rather one in which he was showing off. But what I saw was a guy parading his dog around off leash in front of people who had absolutely no clue as to what he was doing.

I may not be liked for this, but regardless of titles, the video leaves a lot to be desired.

 

i can get my pit to follow me around, but if something else is more interesting to him like another dog, i know he would leave to meet the other dog if he wasnt on a lead. Would obedience school at Petco/Petsmart resolve that?

 

LOL no puffer, those obedience classes are *mostly* a joke, especially for the breed we choose to own. I recommend that no body be walking their dog off leash no matter how well trained it is. What most people fail to recognize is correctly trained dog-trainers are not actually training the dog (the approach petsmart takes) they are training the handler to be able to train his dog correctly. This is why good trainers leave their premises to train dogs, and generally go to either a neutral area for training,or the owners home. A good trainer *generally* is not one who trains the dog at their place of business.

 

He is very handsome, that wasn't Schutzhund, that was strictly protection work, I wonder why he taught the dog to go for the legs like that? A 198 out of 200 is fabulous, but that is in obedience which is simple routine. I would be concerned with the protection work, it's such a dangerous thing to be messing with and I'm really curious as to why he is training this dog to seize legs, that would cause some serious damage, hope he has some good insurance.

 

im not even gona watch the video.....ppl shouldnt be using dogs for this stuff......carry a dam gun or somethin...too much stuff like that are givin every dog a bad name.

 

This type of video was basicaly talked about the other day. the dog looks good, but i to still think like others that a dog with this typ of skill and breed can be dangerous in the wrong hands. yes i know what some would say, that the dog want get in to the wrong hands. but there are people stelling thim every day.

 

Wait a minute.. If the same dog was off leash being used as a guide dog, no one would say anything. Whats the difference??? This dog IMO is far better trained than most guide dogs.. This dog was extremely obedient and well trained.. and this dog also demonstrated extreme self control. He stopped when told to stop (in chase mode) which is something most dogs cannot do as no one hardly teaches an emergency down stay...(used say if a dog bolts out a door to chase a cat, the dog regardless will drop and stay on command) regardless if one thinks he was showing off or not I say hats off and If a person has control of their dog and the dog has self control, then by all means let them be. I will say that it would have been better to have a vest on the dog saying "working" or something, but based on the titles that dog has won (most involve other dogs present for distraction..even in schutzhund)
As for showing off, how do you know thats what he was doing? maybe he was in training.. You have to keep up the training even after titles are won, you cant just train a dog, win titles and think the dog will always be perfect. You still have to refresh the dogs memory every now and again.

 

Awesome video and dog!

 

Very good dog.

 

Yes, it was a good dog and the owner did well training it. Still shouldn't of been of leash and I dont think guide dogs should either. I will say this guy seemed to have his stuff down pat.....but also, what is this teaching others? Sure this is one good video, but how many people will see this video and try to do the same and wind up with an unstable headline maker!

 

If you look where this video is actually located,
http://www.k9sts.com
you will find that it isnt on a kennel website or some self proclaimed "street dog trainer" or just in videos somewhere, its actually a video to demonstrate the experience and quality of training for a dog trainer / obedience center. I certainly would take my dog there after seeing that video..

And there are lots of dogs that have to work off leash.. retrieivers, pointers, hounds, some tracking is done off leash, flushers, Herding dogs (whom often work in pairs) ect etc. Service dogs whom retrieve things for their owners who cannot bend or grasp or reach, and seeing eye dogs do work in a harness with a hadnle for the person they are leading.. but again, had to go through off lead work both in a controled enviroment and one filled with distractions..

 

I agree, don't make your dog fight your battles!!!!

 

I'm impressed, regardless.

To get your dog to that level takes time, patience and skill. My very close friend, (trainer)has 5 dogs, and ALL are at that level, and believe me, I'm ALWAYS impressed....

 

why would you pick this dog and his trainer apart,,this is an excellent example of a well trained dog,,the dog is more safe then most,,he is not going to bite out of instinct,,he waits for each hand signal,,who would not want a dog tained like that?

 

i wana train mine to do all the heal work and follow and all that good stuff, but im not all that concerned with the bite work ive got something else for would be assailants peppa spray hehehe.

 

Still wondering why the dog is biting legs, does anyone know?
