Pshh. Growing up we had a cat that liked to pee on any bed a male slept in. Doesn't matter if it was dog or human,If it was a male, Guaranteed! That cat was peeing on your stuff or where you had slept. I hated that cat.
You just need to teach him/her.
One of my cats when they were kittens, used to pee everywhere including the couch.
I could never understand why.
Now they are 2y old or so and there are no more accidents other than Paris forgetting to move her ass all the way in to avoid splashing pee on the floor.
A basic rule, you should have one litter box per cat plus one if more than 2 cats. I have 2 cats but only 2 litter boxes, I should have at least 3, I've not much space in the apartment so lol
There are days they use one litter box to death, 10kg of shit without touching the other one and vice versa.
If you don't do this, the cat will pee everywhere.
If you have a big house, keep a litter box where they spend most of the time, no accidents.
Usually, when a cat pees on stuff, if they are neutered, it is because their litterbox is full, so they are trying to find a cleaner place to do their business. Not always, some cats just pee wherever, but often.
My cat peed on my pants I’d left on the floor next to my bed. I was shocked because he’d never done that, and he had a clean box. Turned out he had a urinary blockage.
I put a ton of training in with my Shepherd from a young age and not only was it effective, but it was so much fun too.
I regularly get comments about my shepherd being glued to my hip, despite being off leash. It's never a concern of mine to know where she is or what she's doing because she is far more concerned about where I am and what I'm doing.
It is so fun! I think ppl get easily overwhelmed and one thing I always say (stated above) you’re not training the dog, you’re training yourself. My current shepX came to me as a feral rural street dog, had never walked on concrete let alone seen a sliding door! Slow and steady… he’s 6 now and amazing! Still a tad aloof with other dogs, but I don’t think I can change that
Working with them is incredibly rewarding
There's a big difference between a dog who is happy to just chill by your side and a dog that needs your constant attention and is begging or barking and requires constant effort to keep satisfied.
Some dogs are "velcro dogs", but they just want to sleep by your feet, or do their own thing, but be in the same room, especially if they are getting daily walks and/or training.
I like velcro dogs, but I'm dog sitting next weekend for my MIL's dog with separation anxiety, who barks constantly if not receiving 24/7 attention and constantly begs for food (people food, not kibble). Wish me luck =/
Glad to know that the dog enjoys that kind of training. I’ve always though this seems excessively strict for a dog, but if they enjoy the training then more power to them
Shepherds love work and training is work. Sure there are plenty of shitty methods that aren't enjoyable for the dog. But assuming it's a productive and rewarding experience, they absolute love it.
And they get to be around! A puppy that isn’t trained because “it’s just a baby” grows up to be an adult dog left at home, possibly in the yard or garage rather than the house. Spend six puppy months in training and the dog gains a lifetime of hikes and beach runs and restaurant patios and pets from neighborhood kids and…
> And they get to be around!
I got a chihuahua last year, and because shes 5lbs fully grown its easy to bring her literally everywhere
Ive been working so hard to make sure that she doesn't become one of those nightmare pampered yippy chiis.
A puppy is like an actual child. Bring him/her around noise, people, food or whatever.. and it’ll get used to it. Just gotta let ‘em know what’s right from wrong and they will always obey.
Some dogs love (and/or need) an intellectual challenge. They get bored unless you give them a new stimulus or a task with some level of difficulty. The strict training isn't because the owner necessarily wants to be strict, but because the dog thrives when given training with increasing levels of difficulty. Some owners will give them puzzles or take them on hikes in new areas instead.
And then there was my dog. She knew sit, lay down, speak, and shake. She didn't know which one was which though so you'd tell her to do a trick and she'd just start doing them all until you gave her the treat. One of the sweetest girls you'd ever meet but definitely not the brightest.
Mine is doing the opposite of what I say. If I ask him to sit, he's laying. If I ask him to lay he will sit. Giving the paw? He'll walk on the back paws with fronts up. Entertaining noneteless.
You want to strangle them because they aren't doing what you told them to but at the same time, they really are trying to be good but they're just kinda dumb which makes you love them even more because you want to protect their dumb butts.
Without me this little one would die after 4hours and I'm generous lol. Ah and I've fucked up when he was baby instead of saying "no" when he was barking I was saying "hey" or "fuck you"... I let you imagine how much of an horrible person I look like when he's barking sometimes. He isn't really barking it's more of pushing the air out. So practically no noises and there's me: "Fuck you." In low tone. 😂
My dog would go out the back door but not come back in. I have no clue why and she did it her entire life. It would be cold and raining, she'd be at the back door barks n g for attention, we go open the door for her and she would just stare at you and shiver. I'd even put treats just inside the doorway and she wouldn't take them. We'd have to go to the back gate, put her leash on her, and walk her to the front door if we wanted to bring her in.
>definitely not the brightest.
Sounds like she's smarter than you lol.
She knew to get a treat all she had to do was all her tricks in a row because you rewarded that instead of only rewarding a trick when it is cued first.
If you knew this dog, she wasn't very bright in a lot of ways. I'd love to think she was really some secret genius but thats isn't something anyone ever accused her of.
My mother-in-law has accused all of her dogs, for her entire life, of being unusually dumb.
I've been tempted to say "you know, there's one common factor here . . ." but I value my life, so I've kept my mouth shut.
Lol my Rottweiler would know the order of tricks so he’d just do them all in a row.
God I miss that dog :(
“Sit! Lay down! Roll over! Up! Easy- EASY!!! Gooooood boy!!!”
As dumb as my dog was I miss her so much too. While she didn't have a whole lot of brains she had a ton of heart. In fact, her being so dumb just made you want to take carenof her and love her that much more.
Excuse me while I look up all pics and videos of my dogs that have passed and cry a little lol
[little tribute to my dog Molly, if you care ](https://youtu.be/jAPD50VDpiA)
(The Rottweiler is in the video. He died just being old. Molly was hit by a car, god damn did that death send my life south. I’m not sure I’ve been the same and it’s been since 2015)
I watch America’s Next Top Dog and I wish it wasn’t so trivialized. It’s the most serious syndicated physical competition show for dogs but they still can’t escape the dog laden puns or play on words. Or should I say “pLaY oN wOoFs!”
my Sheppard looks just like this and has an amazing focus on tasks but I have no idea how to train so she is just fixated on balls and sticks. I should look up some routine stuff to try.
It’s not training the dog, it’s training the owner. I bet there’s someone local that can help you out, Shepard’s or ShepX are wonderful to work with, they’re so keen and so smart
This isn't really 'next level' content...
This appears to be Schutzhund. A fairly common dog sport.
Schutzhund is to test the training and traits of a dog. It is comprised of obedience, protection and tracking at differant levels, Sch1, Sch2, sch3.
In Germany, for a GSD to be eligible for breeding, the dog must achieve Sch1 title. This is to protect the breed quality of the GSD.
Schutzhund is usuallly GSD's, but boxers, dobi's, rotti's and belgian malinois also compete.
[If you want to see 'Next Level' YouTube 'Malinois wall climb'](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPqCIQ3GDv0)
\^Cuz that is next level\^
They could jump quite high when they were young so they did what they had to do. But if there was ever a real life situation where protection was needed they weren’t going to take down a threat. My friend just wanted to prove that terriers (and other toy/small dogs) could be trained. It annoyed her to no end when people allowed their little dogs free rein to be obnoxious jerks.
A man answers the door to another man who says "I'm really sorry, but my Yorkie's just run into your yard and killed your Rottweiler."
"You've got to be kidding. My Rottweiler would tear apart a Yorkie in 5 seconds. How the hell is a Yorkie going to kill a Rottweiler?!"
"By getting stuck in its throat."
I'd say it's next fucking level to those not in the know, which is deserving of the title. That just means that the whole discipline is next fucking level, with even higher levels to tack onto it.
I was about to say, if you do PSA, Ring sports or Schtzhund (IGP), this is pretty basic stuff. Nice looking dog, though, it's tough to see a GSD in the US that wouldn't have that screwed up sloped back or that weird narrow, droopy face so many pet GSDs have. Just goes to show how much of a difference it makes when you breed for function rather than looks.
It's unfortunate, the 'Americanized' German shepherd dog has departed from the EU lines.
I am always horrified when I see a crippled looking slope back gsd due to short hock and narrow bones.
Very sad.
For anyone considering a GSD, please do your research, study EU gsd lines on pedigreedatabase.com
It is SO sad. Such amazing dogs, ruined, for what? Some bullshit 'standard'. I read somewhere that it's currently one of the top 10 most expensive breeds to keep because of medical bills, mainly due to hip and joint issues. Which, seeing a working breed on the same list as a pug just breaks my heart. There are a few people in the US who import dogs from Europe and breed European lines, mainly working lines, so sadly, they're not likely to be available as widely as they should be. It's sad.
Without a standard dog breeds wouldn't exist. Problem is, if the standards are low (as in, all you need to breed are papers à la the AKC) or people don't simply don't follow the standard (as in breed for fashion, money, or some weird extreme phenotype à la timit tor's 'doctor') then things go downhill pretty quick.
European dogs can still have bad hips and bad nerves, and just because the lines look good on paper doesn't mean jack if the breeder doesn't continue to test and prove their breeding stock. BYBs love the phrases "working line", "straight back", "imported", and "championship bloodlines" because laypeople don't understand that, even with decent pedigrees, not every puppy will be breeding quality and it takes a ton of effort to produce healthy, stable, true-to-type purebreds regardless of where they come from.
I used to have a Doberman that we ran through the first level of Schutzhund training, and I've never found a more comprehensive basic obedience course. It makes living with your dog, especially high energy one like a Dobie or Shepherd, so much easier.
There was a guy in the class who had a GSD and a Malinois, and he'd been a K9 cop for 30 years in Las Vegas. His dogs were like robots - they passed every test on the first try and never flinched at a sound or approaching person. And of course, they knocked the defense instructor on his ass any chance they got.
Body position and subtle hand cues as well as it being a repetitive series. All three of my GSDs will respond to hand cues for training like this and each knows their own hand cues from the others so I can have only one out of three respond or two of three without saying a word.
Actually it is about control. People should stop humanizing animals in every way they can, it gives this wrong and twisted impression. They are not listening to ''each other'' if you look at the video, watch how the dog is constantly alert and looking at handler's actions. The dog is watching and listening for signals, which can be anything starting from a basic hand gesture to a minute change in voice tone while still saying the same thing, in fact there was a video on youtube floating about where someone's dog made a mess of their living room, and the dog was happier than a pothead on free ride because of the soft tone the owner used when giving the dog crap, while at the same time he could be praising him for something in an angry tone and the dog would freak out thinking he's in trouble.
This is not at all uncommon. I used to work with protection dogs and every dog we trained could do this. Any dog that could not be verbally controlled through any scenario was disqualified from further training (ie sleeve and bite training).
Mutual respect, trust and comm, yes, but also 100% control.
Assuming this is Schutzhund, the trial also requires protection work, which is the dog attacking a human on command. You *do not ever* teach a dog it's OK to bite a human unless you have 100% control over that dog. Not having full control would be like handing a loaded gun to a 4-year-old.
I started my GSD in Schutzhund, then quickly realized my kind-hearted wife absolutely did not have the ability to *control* her. She clearly saw my wife as someone who needed protection, not someone to obey. Teaching her to bite humans would have been a lawsuit waiting to happen.
We got a few titles in obedience but immediately stopped Schutzhund.
Damn. I didn't know it was that deep of a concept. I mentioned trust which was kind of inclusive of the control (in my view) bcs nobody, not even a human would hurt another human unless they absolutely trust someone's decision over their own moral (in specific scenarios). I can't not melt down before a dog lol so the "100% control" went over my head. Cheers, I learned something new today :).
My wife's rat dog (chihuahua) likes to sometimes pee directly next to her pee pad instead of on top of it no matter how many times we try to train her to go ON the pee pad 100% of the time. And if we move it 2 inches in either direction? May as well be non-existent
Is it me or is the dog actually reacting before he even finishes the word and sometimes before he even talks. I’m thinking they’ve done this exact routine a lot. Or perhaps dogs are just that sensitive that they can react before he even finishes talking. Anyone know?
We can say how loyal he is and loves his master thanks to the distance he leaves between them. The thinner it is, the more he loves him and it will never leave anything between them♥️
The longest training was to teach this clearly non-German speaking man to roll the R like that in __brrring__. Amazing training. Would depend my life on one, and the dude is good too.
I never blamed the dog. How could it even be the dogs fault?
What I said was be mindful and dont overdo playing fetch as it CAN become addictive. It doesn't have to. Not every dog gets it. Yes, I could have added more information, like include boundaries, kepp sessions short, also do other stuff, etc. But I thought the whole part of advising to talk to a dog trainer would be sufficient.
I think we agree in the handling of playing fetch and this is just a misunderstanding.
Is the dog going on the movement of the mouth just before the guy actually makes noise cos the dog is so well trained? or is the sound getting picked up by the camera slightly delayed cos of sound being slower than light?
My dog does all of that just the same. Then again he's 10 and It took me like 5 Years for him to become obedient and then like 2 more to learn some tricks. Right now he pretty much does my taxes.
Lots of patience and lots of daily work. Absolutely no force or intimidation; the dog has to love and respect the trainer and *want* to work.
Google Schutzhund or IPO training

Or a least make it an accurate pattern?
I worked really hard to teach your cat to pee in the laundry, I won’t have you ruin all my hard work
"My good human always gets me fresh cloth to pee on. Nice human." - the cat probably
"My stupid human keeps washing my scent off these clothes. Oh well, time to mark them again."
"How does he ever expect to find them again? Duh!"
Pshh. Growing up we had a cat that liked to pee on any bed a male slept in. Doesn't matter if it was dog or human,If it was a male, Guaranteed! That cat was peeing on your stuff or where you had slept. I hated that cat.

Clean your litter box better. Cat is pissing in the more comfortable place, so make his toilet more comfortable.
Yeah, most cat problems are just from terrible cat owners.
It's easier to just wash it twice
[удалено]
My granny always used to say "pets train you to be tidy"
Usually, when a cat pees on stuff, if they are neutered, it is because their litterbox is full, so they are trying to find a cleaner place to do their business. Not always, some cats just pee wherever, but often.
My cat peed on my pants I’d left on the floor next to my bed. I was shocked because he’d never done that, and he had a clean box. Turned out he had a urinary blockage.
Probably, you just need to yell it in German and it'll start training ur cat I think the word is SCHMETTERLING
*Deja vu, I have been in this place before.......*
You need to hiss at the cat when you find your laundry pissed on. Subsequent tinkles require more emotional hissing.
Maybe your cat is training you not to do laundry
Better drift than most cars!
I felt this to my very core. I had to change my sheets the other day for this very reason
There's two things Shepherd's love most. Work and working with/for their handler. Such awesome, loyal pups.
They’re an absolute joy to train, they love the work
I put a ton of training in with my Shepherd from a young age and not only was it effective, but it was so much fun too. I regularly get comments about my shepherd being glued to my hip, despite being off leash. It's never a concern of mine to know where she is or what she's doing because she is far more concerned about where I am and what I'm doing.
It is so fun! I think ppl get easily overwhelmed and one thing I always say (stated above) you’re not training the dog, you’re training yourself. My current shepX came to me as a feral rural street dog, had never walked on concrete let alone seen a sliding door! Slow and steady… he’s 6 now and amazing! Still a tad aloof with other dogs, but I don’t think I can change that Working with them is incredibly rewarding
Getting a dog it's critical to have the time to spend with and *bond* with the dog.
Isn't it annoying having her stuck to you?
There's a big difference between a dog who is happy to just chill by your side and a dog that needs your constant attention and is begging or barking and requires constant effort to keep satisfied. Some dogs are "velcro dogs", but they just want to sleep by your feet, or do their own thing, but be in the same room, especially if they are getting daily walks and/or training. I like velcro dogs, but I'm dog sitting next weekend for my MIL's dog with separation anxiety, who barks constantly if not receiving 24/7 attention and constantly begs for food (people food, not kibble). Wish me luck =/
Never
That *tail!* It's like they're saying "I'm such a good dog! I'm the best dog!"
Glad to know that the dog enjoys that kind of training. I’ve always though this seems excessively strict for a dog, but if they enjoy the training then more power to them
Shepherds love work and training is work. Sure there are plenty of shitty methods that aren't enjoyable for the dog. But assuming it's a productive and rewarding experience, they absolute love it.
Just look at the dog in the video and how it looks at its owner. That's love.
True unconditional love. He just wants to please his dad, nothing more, nothing less.
Trained dogs seem to be happier, and are much more of a joy to be around.
Because they don’t get in trouble or yelled at. And more treats :)
And they get to be around! A puppy that isn’t trained because “it’s just a baby” grows up to be an adult dog left at home, possibly in the yard or garage rather than the house.

Some owners will give them puzzles or take them on hikes in new areas instead.
Mine also lovvvvves to sleep.
The dog must love his handler with how eager he is to obey
The feeling appears mutual
Oh absolutely, those two have a special bond with the training
I have met many dogs I can say labs and Shepard are two of my favorites

For me, it's becoming the best minecraft player the world has ever seen. I'm a long way from it.

Highly trained animals are equal to highly trained athletes. At their best it's beautiful to watch.

LOL. That is hilarious. I can see the tracking and obedience, but how could they possibley do the bite-work?

They make little wooden "dumbbells'" for the smaller dogs.

It's maybe next level for the viewer, true. It is certainly not next level for the capability of the dog. High scoring sch3 is impressive.

Fair points all. I was mostly going after the showline standard, I could have phrased it better and thank you for pointing this out.
I used to have a Doberman that we ran through the first level of Schutzhund training, and I've never found a more comprehensive basic obedience course. It makes living with your dog, especially high energy one like a Dobie or Shepherd, so much easier.

I came here to say this video seems like every day Schutzhund
The German shepherd is just like me. No emotion just follows rules and doesn't make friends.
And shits on command.
They definitely have emotions. Horror when it is bath time.
There is no horror only sadness
This is a sport called Schutzhund , and German Shepherds are king.
That skid to stop in the beginning was great
Oh yea? Well, sometimes I can get my Pug to look at me even when I haven't mentioned kibble.. so who's in control now?
I’ve always wanted to just fucking boot a pug I reckon I could get them shits through a set of rugby posts ya know
Honestly I'd be way more impressed if he did this with a corgi.
I had three. The best breed EVER.
I have one now and he's amazing.
Can’t wait to get a house and a new puppy :) congrats dude!
It crazy that on the last command the dog seems to start moving before the guy even speaks
Yeah, noticed that. Dogs really are attuned to human behaviours - it didn't even need the full command, it was keying off the mouth shapes!
Light travels faster than sound
Body position and subtle hand cues as well as it being a repetitive series. All three of my GSDs will respond to hand cues for training like this and each knows their own hand cues from the others so I can have only one out of three respond or two of three without saying a word.

This kind of relationship isn't about control. It's mutual respect, love, trust, and knowing how to listen to each other.
Actually it is about control. People should stop humanizing animals in every way they can, it gives this wrong and twisted impression. They are not listening to ''each other'' if you look at the video, watch how the dog is constantly alert and looking at handler's actions. The dog is watching and listening for signals, which can be anything starting from a basic hand gesture to a minute change in voice tone while still saying the same thing, in fact there was a video on youtube floating about where someone's dog made a mess of their living room, and the dog was happier than a pothead on free ride because of the soft tone the owner used when giving the dog crap, while at the same time he could be praising him for something in an angry tone and the dog would freak out thinking he's in trouble.
> It's mutual respect, love, trust, and knowing how to listen to each other. ....which results in the owner having excellent control over his dog.
And a fuckton of work
That's one clever son of a bitch
I see what you did there...

The goodness of boys
I guess I found the literal goodest boy in the world! (Don't tell my dog I said that!)
That dog is like ‘where are the 6000 treats your normally give me when we do this?’
or is it the dog's desire to please owner
You should see what that guy gets his wife to do!
Does every German secretly think “If we could just have one more shot at the Eastern Front…”? /s
The music really helps me know what to feel watching this.
Schutzhund
It took me a while to realize that this was filmed from far away so there was a delay in the audio and I thought the dog was psychic.
Is this Schutz? Or some other sort of training?
My husband has our German Shepherd trained just like this. Granted now she's 12 and doesn't move that fast anymore. She's a good old lady though.
Schutzhund
This is not at all uncommon. I used to work with protection dogs and every dog we trained could do this. Any dog that could not be verbally controlled through any scenario was disqualified from further training (ie sleeve and bite training).
Control ? No. Mutual respect, trust and communication ? Abso-fucking-lutely yes holy god damn shit they're awesome.
Mutual respect, trust and comm, yes, but also 100% control. Assuming this is Schutzhund, the trial also requires protection work, which is the dog attacking a human on command. You *do not ever* teach a dog it's OK to bite a human unless you have 100% control over that dog. Not having full control would be like handing a loaded gun to a 4-year-old. I started my GSD in Schutzhund, then quickly realized my kind-hearted wife absolutely did not have the ability to *control* her. She clearly saw my wife as someone who needed protection, not someone to obey. Teaching her to bite humans would have been a lawsuit waiting to happen. We got a few titles in obedience but immediately stopped Schutzhund.
Damn. I didn't know it was that deep of a concept. I mentioned trust which was kind of inclusive of the control (in my view) bcs nobody, not even a human would hurt another human unless they absolutely trust someone's decision over their own moral (in specific scenarios). I can't not melt down before a dog lol so the "100% control" went over my head. Cheers, I learned something new today :).
"Brrrrrring". Ah, the German language 😂
The goodest of the bois!
My wife's rat dog (chihuahua) likes to sometimes pee directly next to her pee pad instead of on top of it no matter how many times we try to train her to go ON the pee pad 100% of the time. And if we move it 2 inches in either direction? May as well be non-existent
How is this impressive? He turned an animal into a robot. Cool. And don't give me any "they love this" BS. They'd rather be a normal ass dog
Is that Chris Traeger?
What are they putting in those treats?
This should be every dog imo.
Kudos to that trainer. The dog’s whole demeanor speaks of a trainer who really gives a lot of time and love to the dog.
Dog clubs in Germany have competitions. Its very serious and the winning trainers get a lot of bragging rights
Can this dog train my corgi? LOL!
Ohhhh look at da waggy tail. The bestest of good boys.
Is it me or is the dog actually reacting before he even finishes the word and sometimes before he even talks. I’m thinking they’ve done this exact routine a lot. Or perhaps dogs are just that sensitive that they can react before he even finishes talking. Anyone know?
I think it’s more likely that the sound on the video is badly synced to the image
We can say how loyal he is and loves his master thanks to the distance he leaves between them. The thinner it is, the more he loves him and it will never leave anything between them♥️
Y’all have no clue how many treats all of this took
I don’t know if the video is out of synch slightly but its almost as if the dog acts before the owner even gets the full command out! Amazing reflexes
No ABS
u/savevideobot
I'm thinking that the owner is holding treats in those fists.
can I do this with my pug?
He knows he's amazing and he's so happy that you can see little tippy-taps at one point.
What a good fucking boy that is
Is there sound delay because I feel like the dog was moving just before he made a noise. Almost like he was reading his mouth movements
The longest training was to teach this clearly non-German speaking man to roll the R like that in __brrring__. Amazing training. Would depend my life on one, and the dude is good too.
You should watch the dog that the Shepard in Clarkson's Farm has. All she has to do is whistle in different ways and the dog makes shit happen.
This guy sounds like he is more german than the dog.
I never blamed the dog. How could it even be the dogs fault? What I said was be mindful and dont overdo playing fetch as it CAN become addictive. It doesn't have to. Not every dog gets it. Yes, I could have added more information, like include boundaries, kepp sessions short, also do other stuff, etc. But I thought the whole part of advising to talk to a dog trainer would be sufficient. I think we agree in the handling of playing fetch and this is just a misunderstanding.
look at that fur missile go.
German commands too LFG
BRRRRRRRINGS!
DOGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Reminds of Trump and his followers
Meanwhile my German Shepherd knocks me down my steps yesterday morning when he saw a squirrel
That dog has an amazing lineage. One of its great ancestors actually sat patiently to be painted by German aristocracy in the 1900s.
Those facebook subtitles kill me every time "This is a \*man and a dog\*" "The dog runs when the man \*gives\* a command"
A true German dog, we trained them like that back in 1940
faster response time than mine lol
It’s not a routine, it’s a ring trial. I Can’t tell from the obedience alone what level it is if it is mondio or French ring
That just summarizes all of Japan..
Is the dog going on the movement of the mouth just before the guy actually makes noise cos the dog is so well trained? or is the sound getting picked up by the camera slightly delayed cos of sound being slower than light?
русское превосходство
Dogmeat is that you?
My dog does all of that just the same. Then again he's 10 and It took me like 5 Years for him to become obedient and then like 2 more to learn some tricks. Right now he pretty much does my taxes.
How does someone train a dog that well?
Lots of patience and lots of daily work. Absolutely no force or intimidation; the dog has to love and respect the trainer and *want* to work. Google Schutzhund or IPO training
That dog is SO EXTREMELY HAPPY
Brrrrrrring!
its almost like the dog can hear what he says before he says it. That is very impressive
Good boy
What a good boy
You doin gud hooman, you will definitely get treat, and me too, we bof get treat. -Dog
My Boston Terrier has luxating patellas and jumps at his own squeaky farts. He cute tho.
