Dekka video! showing that JRTs can heel with style.

So this was taken at the sportsman show on the weekend in a quiet moment. If you notice at the beginning there is a pug on wheels in the top right corner (that was the pug rescue group) I watch this vid and I am struck by the fact I have gained ALL the weight I lost (all 60 pounds) back *cries. Ewww. So watch my dog not me

She looks quite happy!

LOOK AT HER GO! She looks like one happy little pupper.

go Dekka, what a great litle girl

she is really happy. thanks for sharing.

i agree with everyone here...

Wow. I'm working with Bamm on his heeling. He tends to heel for a few steps and then will dart in front again. He doesn't pull on the leash much, but still feels the need to walk ahead of me. Any advice on how I can work with him to keep him at a heel until I release him?

Very cool, I have never done that level of obedience training...

aww what a smarty-pants she is!

I'm very impressed with her focus! She's eyes on you the whole time! I think this is part of the problem Sierra and I are having. Her eyes (and NOSE!) is on the ground.

Great vid, thanks for sharing!

Very nice! I love dogs who heel with attitude.

Nice! Someday Gunnar will be there....

Nice. Can I ship you a doberman for training

Pleeeeeeease

and ummm... don't freak out if you find Bamm arriving to your front door in a shipping box. Ship him back to me when he heels as well as Dekka... lol

Impressed with Dekka. She is good at it.

Guys, its not hard to teach a great heel. Time consuming yes-but not hard. And by time consuming I don't mean an hour 5 days a week (though I personally know a few traditional trainers who do spend that much time training a dog for obed) Dekka is 3 and I have been working on heel since she was 6 months. That heel took about 6 months to train, a couple min here, 30 seconds from the kitchen to the living room there, etc. Her heeling has gotten more robust over the last couple of years (meaning things don't distract her as much, she doesn't forget for a nano second what she is doing, and things like that)

And if you ship my your dogs, I won't send them back (esp Bamm... I love him!)

Dekka, not to sure how I missed this thread.
At anyrate, didn't watch the video b/c of being on dial up.....but then I don't need to, seen Dekka do her lovely heeling in real time.

Don't worry, they'll get shipped back, and maybe an extra dog thrown in for good measure.

You guys are awesome!

Is that a promise. *packages Frodo*

Hmmm, still considering...which dog will be sent back with them??

Wow, really impressive, she's so alert and in focus. Love you share that video with us.
