If you can't have a conversation without using name calling, then you are more childish than i thought. I live in NZ I have no idea what titles you guys can gain as they are gained a lot different to how ours are gained. Absolutely everything can be trained with positive reinforcement and shaping. Violence starts where knowledge ends.
Most of these comments are about dog sports being cruel. Dogs are by nature extremely athletic and having dog sports as an outlet is a great benefit. I've seen it save high-strung dogs that had been bounced from home to home. Dog sports not only strengthens the bond b/w handler and dog but it also keeps the dog in top physical condition. My westie is 12, but she thinks she's 5 thanks to our 4-H activities. Also, these dogs are the owners heart and soul they would rather die than see them hurt.
Yeah well a dog could jump a fence and die. Be kicked by a sheep and killed. Therefore you're also putting your dogs at risk. Jumps weren't lowered for more speed the dogs, as either way the dogs will be racing at the same height. fly boxes have been altered so much so to ensure saftey. Well i could say the same about sheep herding. All you care about is winning. I don't care if the dog wins as long as it done it's best.
@reiki2guy Dogs would not do something if they didn't love it or didn't want to do it! Dogs absolutley LOVE fly! They would choose it over any dog sport! This video just expresses the determination and enjoyment these dogs show! They clearly love it.
@kattyko0z Look, you moron, I'm not contesting the fact that these dogs LOVE to do it, my point is that it is OUR responsibility to see that they don't get injured WHILE doing it. Look at the sharp turns and the smashed faces of these dogs on the box. You don't think that repetitive movement isn't damaging them? What about the longterm effects? It's not the dogs that WANT to do this, it's the PEOPLE that want them to. At what cost?
@reiki2guy Do motorcross people stop doing motorcross because of the risks?Do rallycar drivers,gymnasts or athletes all stop doing what they love because they could all get injured or may have problems later in life.No they don't because they love what they do. Risks are involved in every aspect in life.Precautions are taken but you can only do so much.Not doing something you love because you might get hurt is sad and is no life at all.The dogs DO want to do it.They wouldnt otherwise.
@kattyko0z You are a total idiot. Dogs do not choose to do dogsports, PEOPLE choose it for them. The best precaution to avoid injury is to not do it at all. What part of that don't you get? These dogs have NO say in the matter. You are a moron if you honestly believe a dog is going to NOT do something its owner wants it to do. These dogs have no choice. None. Their owners are the ones risking injury to their animals. Why don't you get this? Are you really this stupid?
@reiki2guy There is really no need for names. Dogs do choose it! My puppy always goes and plays on the gear outside. If dogs didn't want to do it THEY WOULDN'T. What part of that do you not understand? My dogs don't like baths and one HATES obedience and boy do they refuse! But agility/fly they love it!The excitement, the drive,the rewards!And this video shows all of this! If you cannot see the look in their eyes you are blind. There are risks in everything! Why don't YOU get this?
@kattyko0z Yes, there ARE risks, but it's not the dogs who are taking the risks, it's stupid owners who allow these accidents to happen. Are you that stupid that you can't understand that dogs can't reason between what is safe and what is risky? It's the human who is supposed to be smart enough and responsible enough to see that these accidents DON'T happen. No one is contesting the fact that the dogs love this, but I do think people who allow this to happen are total fucking morons!
@reiki2guy excuse my horrible punctuation, my shift keys won't work. everything is a risk a dog could choke on a bone and die, could catch a stick wrong and be stabbed through the chest anything could happen at anytime. life is a risk. precautions are taken in agility and flygility to make sure dog sports are as safe as possible. dogs need mental and physical stimulation, try have a working dog that doesn't have anything to do. there is no stronger bond then that of a sport dog and its owner
@kattyko0z Every risk you speak of is caused by the human being, NOT the dog. I do competitive sheep herding with my two Border Collies, so you don't have to tell me about mental and physical stimulation. My dogs know when they're working and when they're not. You can't tell me precautions are taken in flyball when all anyone cares about are lowered jumps for more speed and fast turns without ever considering the damage that's being done to the dog's spine. All you care about is who wins!
@kattyko0z You really ARE an idiot. You haven't a clue about what dogs want. No doubt your dog hates obedience because you're a crappy trainer! I've never seen a dog not like to do obedience. Ever. You obviously know nothing about motivational training.
@reiki2guy There are a lot of dogs that don't like obedience, that walk around and wander off while they are doing it. You clearly haven't been to a dog show.. I don't believe i'm a crappy trainer and all my training is done by positive reinforcement so motivation is not really an issue. =] You might want to try owning and training a dog before you talk about other peoples motivational training.
@kattyko0z You really ARE a total moron. I've trained more dogs than you ever will. How many AKC OTch's have YOU owned and trained? I've had two; a Sheltie and a Border Collie. The Sheltie retired with more than 1,000 lifetime OTCh. points so don't talk to me about owning/training a dog. Do you even KNOW what an OTCh. is? I doubt it. Positive Reinforcement doesn't work on everything, either. How do you PROOF a dog with Positive Reinforcement? You can't.
@reiki2guy Dogs absolutly love it, as much as we o, in some cases! My dog whines at the door to be lt out to got into the tunnels and over the hurdles! Doing it is teir reward. Its why Aaron Rogers plays football, why Prince Fielder plays baseball, why Michael Jordan plays basketball. LOVE, PASSION for the sport they adore.If you stopped any competing athlete from doing the sport he or she loves, they would get depressed!
@kattyko0z You're comparing people in charge of their own lives to dogs who are supposed to be protected by human beings. Dogs don't have the same free will as humans. Risks are involved because humans allow risks to happen. A dog doesn't make the choice to get injured. Their owner makes that determination.
Your videos are awesome and I really love them. Thanks for showing us the things we can't see... Now I know it's necessary to re-design the flyball boxes and take care our sports dogs. Thank you for sharing your videos and hope to continue enyoying them next year
Great photography but reinforces why I won't do Flyball or Frisbee with my dogs! I also now appreciate Australian agility equipment is so much safer and more visible for dogs!
