you'd probaly think well agility or flyball or weaves must be the most difficult part, but obedience is. you see, running comes naturly to dogs but commands and being told to stay away from somebody they love dearly is very hard.
when did crowding the handler become acceptable at a heel? That has always been a points off if a dog crowds or contacts the handler while heeling. I swear the "focused heel" has done so much damage to both the sport and the dogs health (talk to folks who compete with dogs in a constant "focused heel" - those dogs see a chiropractor weekly because of the damage this nonsense does to their neck and shoulder assembly)
and before I am asked - yes, I compete in Obedience trials with top ranked dogs that get perfect scores - I never have and never will teach this ridiculous "focused heel", we're turning these dogs into halter horses and will destroy them the same way halter horses have been destroyed - good for nothing but this one thing and requiring absurd medical care as a result of human ego to have something STARING at them in this grotesque fashion.
@@FallcryMutt you must be new to obedience competitions. My dogs have successfully HiT for decades without being trained or preforming in a body crippling manner. And if you were to read the rules, rather than getting your knowledge from social media, you'd see that crowding the handler is a "no" and points are to be taken off.
@@ThePracticalDog that tippy taps look ridiculous, can you recommend "old" videos? I have only seen these strange walking dogs in high ranked obedience so far.
as someone who is interested in IPO/schutzhund, ive been told that the contemporary “prance” we see in a lot of focused heeling nowadays is not a traditionally desired trait in the sport, but accepted and sometimes preferred because it looks intense and flashy. its so popular that even casual pet owners feel inadequate if their dogs can’t or won’t move like that… its sad and strange.
@@Laura-hu6nb wow, this is the reason! I always thought straight heeling was the most difficult part than anything else (like turns ot sits). And some people can cue a dog by touching! People are really creative. I just remember that in Europe we were always fined if the hand was high at the hip or belly. it was considered a very bad cue. Different countries - different rules, so weird. Now I train my dog in USA - so many new things for me after my German style obedience.
Wow, the dog has such a stiff neck already that she can't walk normally but has to crouch her back and jump with the front leg. I wish the caretakers would walk with their heads up in the sky and twisted like this. Bet they wouldn't last 3 min. 😪
I love how their outfits fits the colors of the dogs
"I'm doing so good! I'm making my human so proud!"
you can't understand them but surely that's what they think
Obedience Trails are the hardest contests in Nintendogs
I agree
But this is real life
Yeah I never could get my dogs to do that, frisbee on the other hand, one of mine did quite well in
the reserve’s dog’s colours are absolutely gorgeous, all such beautiful dogs
I can see faith in the eyes of dogs waiting for their owners' instructions.😊❤👍
Me too 😭 their faces always looking at their owners ❤️❤️
the way the dog to the right walks is so adorable! Both are winners to me
They are so lovely . Cant stop to watching them ❤️
Lovely, I can't wait to get my girl into these things. Still working in the heal but she is fantastic so far.
How is she now?
How is she now

Thank you! Been waiting for this!
Hope to see more of this
It is NOT the judges scent the dog is being asked to find on the cloth - it is the HANDLERS scent.
thakns for the correcting. I was wondering if it's true or not.
How amazing the dogs know exactly what to do!,,
The handlers dressed to match the dog 😁
Hardly anything to choose between First Place and Reserve!!
Who was the winner I didn't know could someone tell me
Entering the Obedience Trail Expert Class requires the commands: Sit, Shake, Lie Down, Spin, Roll Over, Jump, Beg
or the Master Class and Championship
@@allitempleton5430 no true
That trainer Mary is good, she is in the Heelwork to music competition also.

ME ENCANTAN. BELLOS PERROS, HERMOSOS. QUISIERA TENER ENTRENADORES ASÍ ACÁ EN PUERTO RICO. FELICITACIONES Y BESOS U ABRAZOS PARA LOS CANINOS
the hand on the hip looks like a continious cuing the dog. I didnt know it's allowed on this level .
The hand set is so they dont secretly cue the dog by touch

It’s allowed but if personally use an IGP style heel where I don’t have that sneaky cue
Boring as hell to watch but it’s still super cool given how much training and work is required to get at that level
we dont deserve dogs :(((
when she said these are the bitches❤️❤️
haha she said the b word.
Caught me off guard, I always forget some people don’t use it in the derogatory way.
@@Swiftrswampr it's just the proper usage of the word threw me off lol.
