How about this dog, would you say this dog is balanced?? 

Take into consideration this is several months ago during late fall early winter.  His bark and hold is more controlled now but still a lot of intense focus on the helper.  He just started on blind work during this time.   Also there is another dog which is in the background that is barking also so there might be some confusion as to who is barking when.

He may be balanced, but he is ugly.

Nadeem,
Take a look at the difference between your dog and the drive he is working in and then look at young Capri in the video, and the drive she is working in. Completely polar opposites. Look at the body language (ears, tails, etc) and study that. You will learn a lot from this. Then ask RW about it and have him explain it in more detail. Then look at the video of Norass and you will see what a more balanced and confident dog overall looks like. Take in to account he is older and more mature. The other thing is with the younger dogs (or any dog) when working indoors it can have an effect on them until they are a little more accustomed to being in there. What I mean by this is that a prey dog may go in to higher prey indoors and a defensive dog may become more defensive or even a little spooked indoors.
