Teaching the "fuss" - Page 8

gsdsports - sorry bout that, I'm dyslexic and if its not in spell check, its really difficult for me - sorry. Reading is also quite slow....so sorry if I missed some of the content. I did see the video clips.......nice work.

"Happy Dog is doing well, she knows what "look" means, but she isn't interested in doing it sometimes. My trainer says I need to work more on "get it" drive games.........

I've been working on the yard for the past few days another 2 to 3 8 hour days and I'll be done..........I'm sooooo tired.

Carlo is now owned by Vansant.......Saw him do his thing on the night I failed my BH. The dog was spot on! Its all a game to him. I want to be there.

Nevermind, it's not worth it.

Thanks for the comments on the dogs. The first dog that I was doing the fuss with is my black and red showline male "Aiko"....I am getting him ready for his SchH1(hopefully by the end of this year).  I know he is not in the perfect fuss position, he is forging some.  I was showing how he has nice focus and is happy when working.

As for the second picture,my boyfriends DDR/showline male "TJ" I am going for his BH the end of this month.  In the picture above we had just done an about turn, I know he has his rear end a little out..hehe.  He is a very happy working dog and is always wanting to work....whether it be tracking, Obedience or protection. He drags me out the the field.   From what dogs I have trained and also trained with I know that TJ could go National level NO PROBLEM. But it is up to my boyfriend if he wants me to take TJ that far, as he can not come to training since he works weekends.

Xena, who is the one in the last picture sitting in the heel position doing a "watch"..yes she is a Czech female. She is my first Czech dog.  She is a joy to work. She is very happy and very willing to please but can be a tad stubborn sometimes.

The one thing that I ALWAYS want to see when any dog is working, not just mine or the ones that I train, is a dog that is happy doing the work and wants to be with his handler. Yes I want focus and the correct position all the time and that is what I strive for. I must agree that to watch a dog with awesome focus and in the correct postion is like watching a "dance" between dog and handler. It is something that is truely breathtaking to watch.....I know I know us dog people are amazed at the wierdest things..hehe.

Jyl, lol often when I am bored I watch obedience patterns on YouTube and always come back to the same routine that I love to watch, it is like a "dance".  My husband is always saying "you are watching that same heel pattern AGAIN?!"  He just doesn't get it....
