Old Dog, New Tricks

July 23, 2008 - What's wrong with this picture?

I finally got the video camera up and running and let's just say it hasn't done anything to help my training. Why? Because as it is I don't have enough hands to manage the leash, clicker, treats and other various training tools. And now I want to add a video camera to the mix?!? Not the best idea.

Check out Mika's video debut and you'll see what I mean. Basically the dog is off doing whatever she wants, ignoring my commands, eating crap off the floor, and looking cute as can be in the process. But all that makes for just plain bad training. So enjoy it this once. After today, the camera goes on the tripod. :)

Um, whose annoying voice is that on the video? Makes me want to stab my ear drums out...

    Meghan was asleep when I was watching this video. When she heard your voice she turned over thinking an alarm clock was being choked. With the voice you were using I think Mika was doing a great job of acting as if she did not know you. MOM

    "MIK, MIK, MIK, MIK, MIK!" Dude, don't post any more videos...It makes you looks way worse than you really are.

    You so need a helmet cam for this...

    The video was good. In a couple of months you will be able to watch that video along with a new one and see the vast improvements. You are doing an awsome job and I am very proud of you.

    You know we are only teasing you because we have seen the work you do with Mika and know the video is not a true reflection of your abilities. Our teasing goes back to Granny teasing me about the way you kids would call me when were out chasing the streets with her.
