Watch some of Vinny Love's fetching skills.

I rescued him from a high-kill shelter with dog aggression issues, and have been training him myself for the past 2 years.

I didn't raise him from when he was a puppy. In fact, I know nothing of his history. He's not purebred. And he didn't have the perfect manners, in fact he had aggression issues! However, with training, he was able to transform into a great dog with wonderful manners. I see tons of awesome purebred Retrievers, German Shepherds, Australian Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Border Collies, and Jack Russell Terriers doing stunts and obedience but Vinny and I are proof that mix-breed shelter dogs can do it too, EVEN the ones with behavior issues!

Our goal through these videos is to not only showcase Vinny Love's talent, but more importantly, show the world that there are MILLIONS of remarkable animals just like Vinny being euthanized and KILLED in animal shelters worldwide. If Vinny and I have even inspired 1 person to adopt his/her next animal through our videos, we've done our job.

  • My dog,Max won't ever catch an apple,he'll eat it before I say fetch,but he knows to catch a ball on cue,and some defrent objects. That aren't food! :D

    Anyways Vinny is soooo cute ^_^

  • You are just so amazing!

  • I bought my Pomeranians from a breeder, and well the pup, I"m trying to teach her to sit, but she is sensitive whenever I touch her fur and when I throw her favorite toy she just runs and catches it with no command, she just doesn't want to sit and she tries to bite the toy when I hold it in my hands...

  • @thatcrazyjack I cannot agree with you more - rescued animals are the BEST! Thank you & congratulations on adopting your dog. Have fun and good luck with training!
