I know there has been a lot of interest in incorporating positive reinforcement techniques into highly competitive dog sports. I want to share this video so that everyone can see that it is possible to use it and WIN! Chock chains, shock collars, or force are NOT necessary when it comes to intense dog sports and this man and dog are living proof!
Tracking lasts until about 7 minutes in to the video, then protection starts. Worth it to watch if you have a few minutes!
Mario Verslijpe and Hasco Van de Duvetorre competing at the worldchampionships FMBB ( Belgian sheperds ) in Rome. A: 97 B : 98 C : 94. Later Mario won the finals : B 98 and C : 97,5 ( not on this video ). He became worldchampion for the 4th time : two times worldchampion FCI All breeds with his former dog Yagus van de Duvetorre and one time FMBB with Yagus. And now he managed to win the worldtitel again with his young dog ( only 3,5 years old ) Hasco Van de Duvetorre.
