30 Days Meme: Day 23 (a youtube video)

[crysania4]

I had a couple videos planned for this today, but recent news has made me alter which youtube videos I'm going to post.

The first is one I just found about the Dog Chapel and features Stephen Huneck talking about the chapel and his artwork.

The second one is one I've posted before but seriously, if you haven't seen this amazing video (and you're a dog person), you NEED to.

Second video. Holy. Crap.

That is ... amazing.

Yeah seriously. I watch it ALL THE TIME. I even ended up buying the album that the music is from.

That is... amazing.

I can't believe how well the dog is in tune with her - I'm not even seeing the cues she's giving him.

I love freestyle. Gah, I need to teach my dogs more tricks.

I know...I don't know if she's doing it by voice and we can't hear here or if she's got some very subtle cues. That dog is SO in tune with her so she could be even doing something as simple as a head tilt or eyebrow raise. Amazing...just amazing.

And the dog was a rescue, adopted from the pound I think.

That is so incredible.

I wish my dummies were THAT in tune with me, ha!

So do I. I think Dahlia has the potential to be, but I'm not sure she has the drive to do such things.

I believe Delilah could be. And I think Cozmo might be that much in tune with me.

However, I think I'm lacking the skill to to teach such things, lol. And I'm not sure that my dogs have the desire, anyway.

I love that second video :D

Also I'm really enjoying seeing all your 'things' for this 30 day thing :)

It's been a fun meme to do!

And that second video amazes me every single time I watch it.

Its like she took her dressage test and transferred it to freestyle. Cool idea. I love how the dog can do passage - hehe!

For some reason the first video isn't loading for me at the moment, but that second video is amazing. I have a friend who is working on doing agility with his St. Bernard. Though he wants to get into that type of thing with her. He's been showing me a few videos lately of doggy dancing.

Canine Freestyle is amazing. I really would LOVE to be involved in it someday, but no one done training here. Maybe I'll work on my own routine or something. lol

It is hard training things like that by your self. I haven't done that much dog training. I've worked mostly with horses, but if you stick with it, things are possible. Plus the nice thing about the web here is that there are a lot of self teach and elf help videos.

By the way. your dog is beautiful and she looks a lot like the way my mom's dog looked when I was little.
