German Shepherd dog

Very nice and yes this how you properly build a young dog up in bite work and put a proper foundation.Also there is no reason why it can not be you.the only thing i would add is when the dog drops the sleeve,is not to pull him backward instead just kick the sleeve to the helper and let the dog run after it but not to let him get.just remember to stop him from actually reaching the sleeve or the helper.it teaches the dog from the early stage to always go forward and after a while you see the dog really goes in with some real power towards the helper which will help later on when you start teaching hold and bark. but the vedio is very very nice.thanx.

Brittany, great picture! That's exactly what I meant when I said the girl in the video could be me. Trigger is learning to get out of my way so I don't fall on top of him.

The pup in the video just turned 8 months and is turning out to be a really nice Schutzhund prospect. He was bred here in Wisconsin by my trainer friend that I know.

Shelby,

I hope you don't mind that I posted a link to your video. I can see that the field is really muddy. It looks like both you and Chief are doing really well. I wish both of you the best of luck!
