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. 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.

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 . 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.

Oh, I know that song!
