Last week it was cold and raining so we had our training inside. Here we were working on a little ob/control in protection (that part of filming did not take), correcting any dirty behavior on the helper and taking pressure. Video is not great but it is all I have at the moment.. youtu.be/8nenkVgLYac |

Hey Steve,
Nice video....looks like excellent foundation work in the training.
Can't wait to see you both take the trial field as you should have great success.
Keep up the excellent work!

Steve,
Cairo looks good, seems real drivey too.
The pulling behavior in bitework is so pronounced in dobermans. Have noticed this many times when watching videos and see this allot in my doberman.
Just an observation... keep up the good work!

Just an observation... keep up the good work! Virginia Yes, drive has never been an issue with her. We promote the pulling to a great extant in our early foundation work, and later on the sleeve. Actually I think the shepherds I see have it more naturally than Dobermann's. As far as the training of Cairo the first instinct is to shake as opposed to pulling. |

Steve,
The advantage of pulling means less chance of shifting bite on sleeve as you know. It was when watching her that I saw something so familiar, so characteristic in that video. Hard to put it into words but one thing it is... 100% dobermann!

Looking really nice Steve! Here are some links to our training, WCGSSC inspired..Sorry no Dobermans with us..at least not yet..  SchH 3 GSD, who we went back to post work, sit with attention etc. and now working his heeling under helper distractions..He is not a big puller, so that is an ongoing struggle. His foundation was to push in.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9ih0GxiOWUTwo year old American Bulldog female..working on the post.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSNT0elVil8 |

Hi Tracey,
Nice job as your dogs are working super under a perfect level of distraction....next, you should start placing tugs on the ground when you do the retrieves....well done and thanks for sharing.

John, I have been adding a bit of the retrieve work in as per your suggestion. The dog is now ignoring the tugs and beginning to understand that bringing the dumbbell back is how he’ll get his reward. Thanks for the imput ;D Steve, You guys are having a ton of trials prior to Nationals!! I am thinking you have a few club members set to compete this year with their young dogs..watch out Canada |
