Root Beer Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I bet pardon if it's been posted here before. If it was, I didn't see it. Anyway, this is worth watching! I always thought the dog had the easy part, but this gave me new perspective!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFYjNf-0fQA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda-pop Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 That was really cool! thanks! I like the victory roll at the end. That was really cute. And when he was doing the weaves did the announcer guy say "Oh, I'm seizing"? cuz LOL if he did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Beer Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 "Oh, I'm seizing"? cuz LOL if he did! I thought he said, "I'm seasick", which also made me laugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda-pop Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Seasick makes more sense! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tassie Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 The dog with the camera strapped onto his head, is Taz, now 8 years old. Taz is one of the dogs who competes in obedience, agility and heelwork to music/freestyle with the wonderful English trainer, Mary Ray. I've been lucky enough to attend 3 training camps with Mary when she has visited Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

in2adventure Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Ok, who else other than me watched that about ten times It is great. What a shot! Me too! Although the weave poles made me a bit dizzy I wonder what the 30 weave challenge looks like from a dogs view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diane allen Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Interesting...except the seasick part, of course! Plus...I'm guessing it wasn't meant to REALLY show us what dogs see....because of course their peripheral vision is MUCH greater than that camera's lens! diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pammyd Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I love watching mary rays dogs hope to save up enough pennies to goto one of her summer camps. the thing I most got out of the vid is the fact that the dog does not look at the handler at all-all that body language they are picking up on is in its pheriphiral vison and totally focusd on the equipment I just hope that one day me and Ben will be 1/2 as good as that (just had a frustraiting session where for some reason Ben was freaked out by the trainer and kept breaking his stay cos he wanted to be closer to me than her!)

diane allen Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Y'all ever heard of "obstacle focus" vs. "handler focus" ?? I suspect the dog does look at the handler - maybe this one didn't often, or maybe dogs just use their peripheral vision for that. I think of it as: when I hike, I look at the scenery a lot, but I always know where my feet are going to land! diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
