I’ve just watched this happy dog show with a broad smile on my face. No matter what your opinion on dogs doing ‘tricks’ it’s clear these dogs are having a ball.
Key things I noticed:
- between each little ‘act’ the dogs rush back to the handler for their treat;
- the handler is full of exuberance and enthusiasm;
- if the dogs had been maltreated or punished during the training they would not be giving such clear signs of having fun – dogs don’t lie;
- not one sign of inter dog aggression or jealousy, it’s so satisfying to see a bunch of dogs working together;
- I didn’t spot a single pedigree in the group.
Don’t underestimate what your dog can learn with the right attitude and patience on your part, plus a little imagination and a whole lot of time!
