Buddy is an awesome dog. Rachel is a very lucky girl. I ALMOST had his brother, Goat, but then Blue was offered to me and how could I resist that man?! Yup, I chose the bully over the fluffy.


And Rush is great. He's the elder statesman of his home (two Malinois little brothers following in his footsteps) and is just an awesome dog.

Neat! Gorgeous dogs, as always. I have a question: what's with the basket and laundry basket? What are those for?

Gemp, I'm not that knowledgeable on that type of training, but I think its used as distraction. Teaching the dogs to ignore anything that might be in his/her way.

It's called an article guard. Basically the dog is told to guard the object. The decoy tries to steal it and the dog has to protect it. There are MANY other rules to this (as far as how close the decoy has to be before the dog can protect it, etc) but no sense in going into them.

I really enjoyed the video and all the dogs in action. I really admire what you're all doing with the dogs.
