Firenza & Kiana's 23rd scooter run, hilly back trail

[LynnPAWZ]

This is fantastic! What kind of bike / scooter are you using? Would love to see a video showing your rig...

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone.

At 2 minutes and 39 seconds, you can see my scooter laying on the ground. It is a Pawtrekker front suspension scooter with disc brakes. You can also see my scooter on the ground right near the start of my other video called "Firenza & Kiana's 21st scooter run, lines inline".

WOW! Your dogz are great. You have really done well! I love the fact that you don't shout your commands. In all the disciplines it is so important to keep your dog tuned in to you by giving the instructions quietly and calmly. I have reallllllly enjoyed watching this video.

I haven't worked on 'line out' specifically with them just yet, at least not formally. When we're stopped or about to start, I do a lot of 'face that way' with my newer dog because she sometimes turns back toward me... and then I maneuver her into place. I should teach a 'line out' command. I was tempted to run them single file on this trail this time, but the trail makes me a little nervous in some spots. I might try it next time. Yes, parts of this trail are extremely narrow.

On the fly? Incredible! Ah, good tip to say commands fairly quietly. You are so calm. At that pace in those narrow ledges urgency rises from the gut just watching. Just starting the pull sports with my Newf; watching videos and gasping at the inventiveness and sheer bravery (insanity?) out there. ;^)

Thanks. :) I have done their command training on the fly. They're doing really well now and they listen well... most of the time ! I try to say the commands fairly quietly so they have to pay attention !! :) I got that tip from someone. This trail is in a back area of Fish Creek Park, a provincial park within Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Awesome! Your beautiful girls really know their commands. You say the commands almost casually and they pick right up! Where is this trail?

i love how your dogs respond to your commands so quickly!!! That is one thing i have to work on with my dogs. Nice Video!!! :D
