Hi Danielle,

We are doing well. Cold but well How's Otto? Have you guys started with a training club yet?

the video is at: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5YZPGMJPpA" if you can't see it in this thread.

Are you going to check out the Dallas Sieger show? If so, I'll see you there!

 

[Stosh]

HA! That was great!! And yes, I'd love a drink, Ike.

[Whitedog404]

How did you do that!?

 

[Shadow's mum]

Yep, I'm sending you Shadow!!!!!!!! Expect an express post parcel from Australia

 

[Whiteshepherds]

Ike looks like he adores you, what a great job you've done!

You probably need to run out and buy some extra dog food, it looks like you've got some canine company headed your way.

Wonderful - I love the side steps! How do you teach any of that stuff?

 

[Jason L]

Thanks everyone! All GSDs are welcome at my place

Sandra, most of the tricks in the video are really just variations of pivoting/spinning (clockwise and counterclockwise) - what agility people call rear end awareness. I did "perch" training stuff with him when he was a little pup to teach him that he has a butt and he has the power to move it lol.

MRL posted a really good video recently on perch training (the perch training section starts around 5:10)

Interesting! I may have to look into doing some of this. My dogs are bored with the weather and I'm looking for things to do inside too! Ridley, is an older puppy but he seems to enjoy learning new things and it really helps to calm him down since he's bursting with energy while the weather is so bad!
