dogdude Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Dog working beautifully in heel position. Can't help being distracted by the handlers movements. Dog has its head in a funny postion too. I would love my dog to have that level of focus, but without the funny head position. It takes some time for a dog to learn how to balance itself while heeling in that position. If that's what your aiming for, many hours of training and patience will get you there. Good luck!

MonElite Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 I cant belive how tall this dobe is actually. Head in a very typical for IPO training position, so are the handlers hand movements - very exadurated. I loved the first about turn and the retrieves.

Rom Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Just another of those occasions when I wish I could see video's on this poor old computer. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatevah Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Fantastic, love the retrieve, biggest dumbell I have even seen LOL. The about turns were so fast could hardly see them. The only thing I didn't like in the heeling the dogs front legs kept coming off the ground in an unatural gait. But the whole lot was fantastic love the drive and the applause she got!!!! Would love to know her training secrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddog21 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) Do you know where that was filmed or any names? Certainly a classic. And the Dobe has a tail! Looks like Germany Edited for spellink Edited February 25, 2007 by reddog21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayreovi Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I am with CTD, as much as that dog looked fantastic its gait was very annoying and distracting. Also looks like the dog is crowding the handler. Otherwise i loved it, what a great example of drive training especially the send away :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordelia Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I agree.. brilliant obedience but having a dog constantly walking into my leg and not being able to move that arm normally would annoy the hell out of me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Jones Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 The only thing I didn't like in the heeling the dogs front legs kept coming off the ground in an unatural gait. the unnatural gait and dogs head positioning is due to to the handler training the dog to heel with a vest with a ball ejector attached.

Sayreovi Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 A ball ejector? LOL That sounds pretty good actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kavik Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Leerburg stocks the ball dropper vest, it is also featured in the Training Drive, Focus and Grip DVD It allows you to have the ball in the vest and so you can practice your heeling with the body language and arm movements you would do for the ring and have the ball in the right spot for a reward. First you practice holding the ball at your shoulder. I haven't tried it (Diesel doesn't have enough drive) but it looks pretty neat. http://www.leerburg.com/1060.htm http://www.leerburg.com/1087.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Jones Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 thanks kavik i was trying to find pictures to a Gappay one which had been advertised on there website but it looks like it has been taken down. to start off with you have the ball in full view to the dog, than slowly move the ball up untill it is completely concealed in the pocket of the vest...than you can randomly reward the dog by pulling a string that goes along the back of the vest and the ball drops out.
