thanks yours is great too.. I have tons of him leaping in the air for anything i have or am throwing for him.. took me a minute to figure which i wanted to use lol. Had a few with me in them he was easily jumping up to my arm held up with the ball (I am 5'8) but chose not to have me in the pic i posted lol

was looking at some where he was missing.. and the look on his face was priceless as he snapped the air, landed and took off to get it.. :lol:

These shots are all awesome! Just shows how agile and fun the DS can be. And they land on their feet like cats!

Tell us about yourself: I have had a DS for almost a year. Gwen and I are considering participating in PSA and or possible Ring Sport. I also have a Great Dane. I have grown up around working GSDs and my last GSD was a working K9 officer. I am all about dogs and animals in general and want to learn as much as I can about training.
