Bitework Question: How should trainer progress. - Page 14

Ah yes…the last and final resort when you can’t come up with a smart argument: call someone a troll, or even better cry to the world that you’ve being bullied. This isn’t my first day on the internet, you’re not going to get me to cry and apologize because you called me a troll. It’s really not a put down to say that people go with everything their heroes tell them (I also know your hero so your response isn’t shocking, most of her minions will fight to the death for her even though there aren’t actually any REAL accomplishments behind her). It’s basically 95% of the Schutzhund world. You’ve been to one club, you’ve trained with one person, you have a small group of people that support your mediocre dog and training. They’re always right, anyone that questions them is always wrong. It’s all good.

And that “dog with a BH that’s almost ready for its IPO1.” Clubs are full of them. Every club I’ve been to seems to have a bunch of dogs that have passed their BH…probably a really messy pass where the dog didn’t have much obedience, focused heeling, or any type of drive, and then for the next two years they work on getting the dog ready for an IPO1 by cleaning up the problems they made training it for a “just get through it” BH.

As to the admin…I didn’t mean the whole site as a “venue” I meant it more as the whole internet. The majority of the things said on the internet would never be said in person. No one would question that national level helper who has worked a WUSV in front of his face…but on the internet…easy to do! People who will never sniff that type of success need to make themselves feel better about what they’re doing…case in point, see above. In most legitimate organizations it’s almost impossible to become a national level helper within 2 years. Sure, you can acquire the skills, but you won’t have the qualifications. Qualifications usually take time and working dogs. Through that time, I guarantee you’ll pick something up as a training helper.

As to mithuna…I don’t like the person either. Sure, tons of things get ignored or just thrown to the wind. Of course the guy just wants confirmation that what he’s doing is right rather than a true assessment. But a true assessment is impossible without seeing the dog. Everyone here talks about not working the dog in protection and yet I guarantee their clubs are filled with dogs which probably shouldn’t be worked in protection for one reason or another…and yet they are and no one says a word. Why? If we didn’t work those dogs…the sport would die faster than you can blink.

The net is the net. Pretty much been this way from the beginning. I am not discouraged with it because it opens a window into seeing how people really are deep down inside. Like racism, most people will not say racist things in front of others but give them the net and they do. I have no problem telling a friend or family member they are saying stuff that is racist, why should I hold that in check on the net. I do believe we are being played and we have allowed it as witnessed by this thread because if we didn't want to play we wouldn't. I don't know the OP but I know their posts and that is what I base my perceptions on, just like all the members here. Everyone have a good day and I hope and have hoped for a long time now that our breed/s bring us closer together instead of splitting us further apart. But honestly I just don't see it but I remain hopeful.

Is this some kind of washing dirty IPO laundry in public?

Tell you what, Mith: why don't you video that whole sequence with your wife, your dog, the stairs and your bed; then put it up here, so we can judge for ourselves, since we obviously think we can "read" your pooch better than you do ? [Take it you have a phone you can use ?] I'm suggesting Odds of 50/50 prior to there being such a video. If he puts it online, I'll revise them in its light ! Besides, it would be great to see that dog actually IN MOVEMENT just this once, wouldn't it ?

Hahaha :-) :-) Hund

Mithuna: "Neighbor promised to help make vid this week and ill post asap."

 

Maybe the vid will help...

 

 

Yes The vid is coming but here is a pic taken while she was moving. She is retrieving her favorite green 12 inch base ball across a snow covered field. 

Beauty goes with seriousness too. 

I think Mithuna is a young person or at least immature, the kind that walks around with a pitbull or am-staff and doesn't know the first thing about dogs. As long as their dogs are badass. He seems to take much pride in his dogs demeanor. While a knowledgeable person and trainer wood be ashamed. The main reason why animal shelters are full of these kind of dogs.

Unfortunately Alan, he's not; photographic evidence and things he has said put him in the 30s - 40s category. Actually 'old enough to know better'; otherwise I'd say there is a great deal of truth in your post.
