Hi AGO.
Anyone who knows me here for a length of time knows that I'm a real dog lover. I had "My Girl Jack" for 16 years and never really knew anything about dog training or the energy that dogs will follow and how to get them to want to really please the master.
Then along came "Kinzer" who was a vicious biter who I was called on to take and have put down for a girl I know after he attacked her daughter. I tried really hard and put a ton of time into turning him around with the help of forum member "Hoytman". Bill gave dozens and dozens of hours of his time trying to help me turn Kinzer's behaviors around and sadly I wasn't able to do it. Kind of like turning a pickle back into a cucumber....I just couldn't do it.
I did however grasp a basic knowledge of dog behavior and learn how to have a calm assertive energy with dogs. I was heart broken at the end of working with Kinzer and ended up Getting "Colt The Bolt" (pictured in my avitar) I quickly began building a bond with Colt and applying my recently learned training methods to Colt. With the help of forum member "Blown03", who upon meeting Colt in person pointed out the tons of drive he saw in colt, I began really learning dog training methods and techniques.
Colt has come a long way since the day I got him. I'll take some videos as time permits of Colt doing tricks and basic obedience drills and post them in this thread.
I encourage all other forum members to post similar dog videos in this thread if you have them.
Here's the first one shot today after Thanksgiving dinner.
