If i could upload pics i would show a pic too but o well. Enjoy the vid

He looks like he is enjoying himself.  I really liked the view from above the helper.  Nice camera work.  You didn't say how long you have been working on it but there is room for improvement.  I'm no expert so I can't really offer any suggestions.  What I do see is some hesitation on his part, a shallow bite or two and worrying the sleeve when he should be barking.  Nothing that can't be fixed.  Keep working on it.  I'm sure you can polish off the rough edges and get him titled.

3 months is how long we have been working on it. There are 1 or 2 shallows that can be fixed but i think its not a consistent problem he has just a lazy one. And he is dirty which is why he is bumping the sleeve all the time to get the helper to move but i can clean that up no problem. Im glad you enjoyed it.

What hesitation are you seeing? Which part of the video? Because i just watched it again and dont see any hesitation so if you could point me in the right direction so i can notice it. Thanks a bunch.


I enjoy him, awesome first dog i think lol.

I am no expert but if it were my dog I'd have him on a line yet, go in with him and prevent the nipping at the sleeve and get some stronger barking before he gets a bite.  I like to take my time and prevent stuff from happening rather than having to fix it.  I want a really clean, powerful bark and hold.

I am not really seeing hesitation. Seems like a nice dog. I think you will find if you have him on a long line more, MAKE him bark longer, build up the frustration and keep him clean with the line you will see more power in the bites. Nice dog and nice job, especially for your first time. Keep up the good work and have fun! Theresa

The hesitation I spoke of is when he is told to Aus.  He hesitates just a little after getting the command.  He is an awesome dog and doing very well for 3 months into it.  You're doing a great job.
