minimax Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 This girl is gorgeous, and the amount of time her trainers/owners have put into her is amazing My favourite is the "superman"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Crazy Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) WOW !!!! Zoe is really amazing. What a clever girl... & so pretty. I love the trick where she runs up & rebounds off her owner. Also where she looks between her own front legs. "Peek-a-Boo". Many many hours of training but look at what they have achieved. Fantastic to see such a wonderful partnership. Thanks for sharing Minimax. Loved it !!! :D Edited April 12, 2013 by BC Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podengo Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Such an amazing dog! Decided I need to teach Elsie to jump off me like that... She can jump UP, surely OFF can't be too hard haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My OH said this exact thing about our dogs when he watched the video!! His exact words were 'they've got the jumping up on us down pat surely we can get them to spring off us and walah we have a trick instead of an annoying habit'. I like both your thinking :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvus Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I am so amazed by the rebounding off the owners trick I'm not sure if a dwarf cattle dog can do such a trick, but it's the next one on our list for my Erik. This week he mastered a back stall. I was so freaking excited I had to get OH to film it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinbcs Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Clever training but the backflips are very dangerous. One wrong landing and the dog could do permanent or fatal damage to the spine. Borders will flip like that after a ball but it is not a safe thing to do with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Very good point dancnbc's re the back flips. Must admit they looked so impressive & I loved them, I would hate to think of the damage that could be done to the beautiful dog's spine & hip joints etc if she landed the wrong way or on uneven ground. Or if this trick was repeated too often, the concussion on the legs would worry me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weasels Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Funny this should come up - I was watching this video just yesterday urging caution in dog trick training - E: it's not saying don't do them, just take into account your own dog's biomechanics and abilities :) Edited April 13, 2013 by TheLBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimax Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 I wondered about the safety of walking on the front legs too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Yes minimax same... It certainly isn't something I'd encourage for any extended period of time or repeatedly IMHO. I think common sense has to come into play here & the dog's well being HAS to be top priority when doing any kind of physical activity with them. Most Border Collies or working breed will generally just keep going & going if allowed too. So I always keep a very close I on their movement, make sure they aren't running or whatever on really hard surfaces & the actual time I am working with mine so as not to over do it. I have been told my guys are too 'pampered' but I would rather be as safe as possible than have an injured dog I have been thinking I'd love to start to teach Stella to play frizbee but I do have concerns about all the jumping & twisting that it involves for her. So am going to try to keep throwing it fairly low if I can to minimize the impact to her body & make sure she is warmed up before we start. See how we go :) Edited April 14, 2013 by BC Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
