      Here is Prince's debut.....It took me this long to figure out how to post a video....

         I hope this falls under training/ obedience LOL.. as it is far from the finished product and extremely live and uncut..lol... This video was taken when Prince was almost 9 months old and BEFORE I sent Prince ( and me ) for training with Kelly....

         Since the taping of this video I have learned much better techniques in obedience training thanks to Kelly... and others from the PDB.....: )

          I know posting this video is risky opening myself up for snarky comments and criticism. On the other hand I look forward to the comments and critics .....Either way, I know I stand something to gain / learn by it.....: )

       I plan on posting a video in the very near future to show how well Prince and I have progressed since the taping of this video......

             Deanna...: )

Deanna, I LOVE it! That video made me smile. I think it's a great start for both of you, and Prince is so handsome!

Nice house, nice garden. If you have been training ~~Ruger~~ Prince on your own as seen in the video, it is pretty good. A bit loose on the heelwork but is expected in the early stages. My only suggestion for the down as he seem most reluctant is to reward that position more often prior to proofing the down stay. I am also training my first GSD on formal OB by myself and there are some things which I struggle. It is brilliant when the training goes well. Look forward seeing the more recent ~~Ruger's~~ Prince's work.

Deanna, That was really nice. You are doing a really good job with Prince. He sure has come a long way. Remember, he is a GSD, so stop correcting him like he is a chihuahua. Keep up the great work with your dog. Way to go. Jim

Deanna Prince was coming on very well for his age, a very nice video to watch. Just a little thought keep hold of him on the leash when heeling that way you can correct him instantly if he goes too wide etc, and a little firmer commands voice wise when getting him to Down or sit. Otherwise Great Steve1

You two look great! We're in obedience with Kai he's going to be 11 mos old this month - has a bit of the "bratties" going on, but we're working on it - Both you and Prince look like you're having sooo much fun! :)

Stop rewarding the down from the sit. That is what is causing the problem with the down. Never work distractions if you are not set up to block the dog from self rewarding. I couldn't think of anything snarky to say as it is too early. HA HA

Hi Ruger1, I really enjoyed watching you training Prince. I do similar videos' of my students'.We then watch it togather. I find my students are able to see their shortcomings/errors and effects of proper corrections. He is very nice and I like his forcus/watch (looking at you) and the way Prince tucks himself into position. The position of Prince during heelwork,the about turn, the different pace,(fast pace)the turns and the halt/stop& sit correct.(he could be a little bit more animated.) As mentioned by Poseidon, The reluctance/slow to go down, could be due to not rewarding Prince for just the down position. Try to teach only one exercise,the down from different positions. i e,while walking ,running,from a stand ,etc. And ensure the elbows are down before rewarding. Try to get the dog,to get to the correct position,you do not adjust to the dog. I'm sure you'll work it out. All the best in training.

You're making the down a very negative place to be for your dog. Its little wonder he doesn't want to down.
