Ok, so my training session the other day sorta devolved into this:

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-Q2PW4gEa-g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

But it's cute and a natural position for him. Trying to get him to not jump up and down like on a pogo stick is the hard part. That was taken the morning after I taught him it and he's getting a lot better at holding it not walking around





And just these two because he was looking handsome

Gah, I just love your dog. I love the last two pictures of him - he's looking so mature looking and WOW, is he ever in good shape.

Ha! That is sooo adorable. He looks super tall when he stands like that! He is in fantastic shape!
He does have some legs on him. He's all bone and muscle, so not a good pillow but I do love how fit he is

Love it! We call that one "Bear" here. :D
Oooh 'Bear' I like that. Trying to decide what to call it (this is why I fail at trick training because I never come up with a command name). MHMR's also suggested 'Freeze' which I like too

He really is grown up looking :( Time for another!!

Awww thanks!! I kinda like him

And yeah, I might have (still do) encourage 'lets all jump around like idiots' But it's so much fun!! I bet Ozzy thinks so too

UGH he's just too beautiful! He is so satisfying to look at, I love his tuck, his straight back, his tight, clean head, built neck/shoulders and long legs. They don't come any prettier, do they?

Very cute trick, I've been trying to get Roman to do that but he hasn't got it right (I will try and get him to stand by luring him with a treat but he'll stand up and stabilize himself on my arm with his paws).

Thanks everyone!!

Thanks so much!! I've really loved his build from the time he was a puppy and he's just grown into it so nicely I think.

Though he needs to work on looking more manly. He always gets told what a pretty girl he is

I've been having to weed that out with Traveler too. A lot of him backing up and me holdind the treat higher of his head but away from me. Good luck though!! Video when you get it please

Holy CRAP is he a handsome dog now.
Yup, time for another. Puppies plz!
It's so great I have to import because I am seriously feeling tempted and the cost is holding me back which is good.

Well done Traveler! He looks to be maturing, filling out a bit, if you see what I mean. Very handsome.
I got you, and yes he is. Starting to come into his own, I'm looking forward to seeing him a year from now and what changes there will be

I forgot to ask, is that a tab leash, or did you get tired of editing it out, lol :D
You caught me :p I can't get it edited out when it lays against his chest at a certain angle. With the last picture one it was all wrapped around and looked terrible but I couldn't get it edited out right on his chest so it became a tab :rofl1:
