Tell us about yourself: Lifelong animal person- I professionally trained horses before my children were born. New to DS's, but not new to high drive working dogs. :) Currently have a 1 1/2 yr old DS, Koenig, and a 2 yr old English Pointer Sara. They are both rescues. Oh yes, I work at a multi species non-profit animal rescue, on Bainbridge Island, WA

Want to know anything else, just ask!

Wanna see my dog make me look like an idiot?

Here is my brindled wonder. Making me look like a dummy. :) (He's SO good at that!)

We gotta work on the brakes... (I said 'hier' just before I pushed record. Gotta work on my timing.)

Here is Koenig tracking. Careful... it's likely to make you nauseous to watch. :puke: ;) I took it with my iphone, as I was trying to slow him down... ha. Bad idea. We are not terribly experienced trackers. We've been tracking for a couple months, mostly straight tracks, with bait at the toe of each foot step. Just in the last 2 weeks we've started tossing in curves, and not using as much bait. This week we tightened the corner.

I'd love to hear any tips/critiques! We are far from polished, but hey, we're beginners. :)

Tell us about yourself: Had a GSD, am getting a DS puppy in a few weeks. Compete in agility, obedience, and cross train in tons of stuff. Found out about this site from the DS Rescue yahoo list.

The first one cracked me up!

It's so difficult to film your own dog when you're working with them. I know, I keep trying :D . I also find that (at least with a puppy), the camera itself changes the picture for them, so I have to actually work that in as a training thing.

Looks like you are having lots of fun with your DS!

Lol, that one cracked me up too. I couldn't even really correct him. We had already done several reps, that were very nice, I guess he was done! Shame on me for trying that 1 extra time, and not quitting while I was ahead.

And yes, we have LOTS of fun. :)
