The dog is doing a contact heel, we use it to go from one exercise to another, and for the Defense of Handler (last exercise in the video). We don't use the attention heel often because it takes too much concentration from the dog and brings down the drive for the protection phase. As you can see, the dog sticks to the handler like glue and still have the freedom to check out what's going on.
Contact heeling is common in ringsports, definitely not okay for IPO. In Mondioring, the actual heeling exercise can be contact, attention, or just "walk next to the handler" heeling. In the video, during her heeling exercise, she was really excited and combined her attention/contact heeling, not intentional, hence the point deduction.
I had dogs didn't train anything but sit. Lived on a farm. They ran everywhere. But if they were to walk that tight against me it's because they were trying to trip me. One dog when I was skiing behind a snowmobile, just darted out of nowhere in front of me and I bit the snow big time. Good times 😐 No she wasn't hurt 🙂 Ever since I saw a vid of these dogs leaping cars to attack someone I was mesmerized. It's like a dude sliding across the hood of his car to join a group of people doing walking or whatever, you know but no losing ground. Like it's part of how to walk. Love how these dogs jump. It's like they were born to clear obstacles. Awesome. But I was clueless with dogs training. I figured they didn't have time for me to train them. So they were free to run around the farm. Yolo for dogs. And I used to run where they would take off to. Running through trees and over logs. No better enjoyment with a dog, then running with them. Letting them go wherever at full speed. But these dogs are showoff's. Which looks like they could do a lot more than this. They need extreme smart things to do. You can tell they are way better than this. Kind of like looking at a pitbull and know their thinking. In actuality I started training them to do tricks and they picked it like to say, yeah, I can do this or, I can show you a lot deeper thing about the animal world. So I guess they trained me to not train them. Anyway, they taught I learned, as for all animals.😆
I'd give +1 for returning before the whistle. There's difference between being obedient only, being on your own, and being disciplined obedient and putting your thinking to work also. It can be true to any species. Calculating some things on your own is even advisable to humans, otherwise rights and creativity and development of intelligence will be hampered. That's meta. I hope you get it, what I want to convey. Best wishes.✌🏻.
I get what you mean. On the higher levels of Mondioring, the dog is required to "solve" some problems because the judge set up some tricky exercises. If we train our dogs to be perfectly obedient, they would not have the room to be creative and solve it on it's own. The hard part about this sport is finding the balance in the training.
Great to see the time and effort gone into the making of a great dog, well done.
Why is the dog pushing in to you when it is heeling?

Never seen that before. I do IPO. In an IPO test this would lead to deductions for Obstructive Heeling 😃
