and really what is your point? Other than to talk down about things you have no concept of, though you claim to, no experience with, no nothing but words, again.
You put up videos of your retrieve video like you've accomplished something noteworthy. Sorry, picking up an item 2 feet away with loaded body language, multiple commands, a mouth full of food and a dog with a hovering butt, no speed, not much of anything other than he perks up for some food at the end and then poo pooing on this guys video like it shows NOTHING???
WTF is your deal? when you can train something even close to the same level as this, even close, then get back to us with your expertise.
I don't normally comment on any training vids, as long as people are having fun with their dogs, I don't really care what they're doing. But to get on here and pass off everything anybody puts up with a viewpoint you don't agree with as, "oh wow, the dog gets to swim and chase some stuff, BFD" type attitude, and then put up the level of training you've shown and act like it's something we should all be excited about????
you say you're just here to learn and understand??? yeah, have you really convicned yourself that is why??? Because I think the rest of us can see right thru that.
I think the point of the video of the retriever shows a dog doing something that would have some real world application and doing it well. i'm sure a dog can have a life without ever learning a retrieve, so why did you even bring up the thread in the first place?? they could probably go thru life just fine without having food taken from your mouth and put into theirs because they put their mouth on a container lid.
They could probably get thru life without having to heel around a silly ring all the time, or put their butts down when you raise you hand in front of you, or learn to laydown in a crate, or stop jumping on a door or any of the other things we make them do to live with us.
It's been said over and over by quite a few people on here, there are many ways to train behaviors and when training is done well, you can tell, and when it's not, you can tell. That goes for every method on the face of the earth.
oh, and climatize is a perfectly acceptable word to use in the context he used it in.
