If you watch that BB when she tells him to sit he does not sit where she stated but went straight in front of her so he was between the camera man and her. Also if you watch her she is not giving a nice praise for all the times she moved the dog. If brought into her with a positive reaction to what she is asking him to do on the Shock collar.
I am not happy with the FACT that gal is using a Shock collar on the dog for the fact you do not need that. I am not a fan of Sit means Sit either and there techniques but some use them so not meanness to be said.
If the dog was given to me or a few other trainers I know out there they would not use it either. We would be focusing on the problems but working some key eliminates into the program before that dog ever was out in public again. Also if the dog is so HA why is that child in there with him, that is a small space and that child could be attack for the simple fact of the shock collar b/c he could redirect onto the child.
In any training you need a reward and there are 5 of them.

All to make a better problem become a reward. This is one thing that CM and most other types of training are missing in there training program.

Actually Deb the dog was not in training during that video he was just waiting on the trainer. My point is that this dog is being rehomed because it nipped a toddler before training. If you are interested in helping this BB more contact Sharon Bank of the American Boerboel Club. They might need help with others after Dozer and I don't know how long Colby is committed to rehab on Dozer.
