Brilliant that. Nothing like well trained, well behaved dogs.

Beautiful dogs! Bet he won't get burgled! :-D Love German Shepherds, think if I wasn't into gundogs I'd have a couple like that :)

I'd probably walk nicely at heel (albeit terrified) if I had one of those sodding prong collars round my neck as well...

Ah, ah ! finally ! all you aversive type trainers weep cause the day hell freezes over has just arrived...pure positive training works in the most distracting environments. Now what say ye ? Oh yes, almost forgot... put that in your pipe and smoke it. :o :shock: :dance: :lol: :angel:

You seem surprised by the accomplishment.

Would love to see him walk half a dozen Cockers at heel anywhere.

No, not at all, Springfield. Just joking about the admirable obedience the young trainer has instilled in his dogs. Have no real idea on how they were trained and proofed. :) However, reading the comments section on the report, it is none too flattering, if true.

You've got him all wrong - he's a naturally 'gifted' trainer. :whistle:

Watch the dogs' body language when at heel!
