Dazzlin' Diva

Beautiful! I simply love high-energy dogs! And as for the attention building exercise, ever since I've started clickertraining with my dog, she prefers me to the environment all by herself! :D Thanks kikopup for all your great videos!!

Beautiful Mal! I have Tervs and Groens.
Belgians are the BEST!

offtopic but what kind of breed is this then: watch?v=Z-hT018rpBs

So lovely :)

Sorry to ask but couldn't find it as fast: What kind of breed is that dog and is it closely related to the german shepherd?

She looks awesome

That looks like a Malinois. They are awesome dogs but they are like a German Shepherd x100. Most people who have them say that they want to work 24/7 and don't just sit around well. Good for Mondio ring/police work, not so great for a pet.

is the dog's leash attached to a "post" so it can't run off?

very informative thanks

It may seem silly but it works amazingly. 1st level criteria- click for maintaining position while distraction is present, 2nd level- maintaining position looking at distraction then looking back, and 3rd- Not even looking at the distraction. The dog can CHOOSE to look, but end up not wanting to. Distractions predict reinforcement, so each distraction that appears increases the dogs desire to stay put. THe more distractions the more likely the dog will stay.

Sorry is still don't understand this method of training. Throughout all my dog training experience, the whole idea is to have the dog focus on me (or whoever is handling it) and aim to please, rather than focusing on what is in the handler's pocket.

My guess is that you have never seen a slip collar (check chain or similar) used properly. Yes in the wrong hands these can be dangerous, but in the rihgt hands they are extremely useful training tools.

well! theres one thing we can agree on :) yay! I dont reward attention or arousal on food or staring at its location.
