Ridiculous. This is the same poodle she is training to be a guard dog that doesn't bite? Is this dog blind?

She gave the 'down' command twice and the dog ignored her. She gives it a treat and points to the floor. Still nothing.

So is this dog trained at all? Is this the one blind dog trained to hand signals? I think the dogs conning her.

Have a look at my videos training my blind dog - jumping in and out of the care, walking the stairs, being in front of me in the forest, swimming, finding things etc

It is a bit too long. My videos can be found under Tomsolna Blind and happy dog.
