Wood Chuck Ball Tosser
Lobo and I trying out our new Wood Chuck ball thrower. Looks like he gives it the seal of approval! I really like the Wood Chuck because not only does it work great, but it is made from eco-friendly materials as well.
You can purchase a Wood Chuck at our online store, Equip Your K9.

This is Bella's third session of an obedience program at K9 Connection Dog Training in Buffalo, NY.
Practicing Heel Around Distraction
My new 2 yr old Malinois Roscoe and I working on heeling around distraction. I've had Roscoe for about 1 month at this filming. I had the neighborhood boys help with the distraction on their mini-bikes.
The heeling still needs some work (I have to get my left hand moving more naturally next to his head), but I'm pretty proud of were he's at for just under 1 month of hard work!
Training Position Changes With Gia
This is a video clip showing Tyler Muto and ‘Gia” training position changes (heel, front, under.) This is a typical training session where a specific behavior is chosen and isolated for repetition. There are some minor variations thrown in to keep thing dog from anticipating too much which could cause problems down the line. These variations are important to keep the dog from thinking too much during training. When a dog thinks too much they stop listening to the handler. We always want to make sure that the dog is responding to the commands given, not just performing out of habit.
Puppy Obedience
This is a quick video of my new Belgian Malinois puppy ‘Dante’ taken at 10 weeks. He has only been training for about 1 week but you can see that he has already learned quite a bit. Right now Dante and I do our obedience training exercises 3 times a day for about 10 minutes when he gets his meals. He pretty much works for every bit of food that he gets, only occasionally eating out of the bowl if there is some left over. I believe that this helps to instill a very strong work ethic in the dog at a young age.
Dante is being raised to be a working dog, so I am not too concerned with control right now. I just want to start imprinting the meanings of these basic commands. So far we are working on sit, down, stand, heel, and come with food for motivation. Dante has also already begun his Bite-work training with helper Marcus Hampton. We’ll get some video of that too and post it as soon as we can.
