How to Train My Dog Blog

This video shows me how far I’ve got to go to learn how to train my dog to do what I want him to do.  At this point, I’m pretty happy if my dog sits and stays when I tell him to and if he sits patiently while I’m waiting to give him his food I’m ecstatic.

I came accross this video while reading a post about an interesting contest on chazhound.com Dog Forums.  The contest was to shoot a video of you having your dog fetch a hot dog and bring it back to you without eating it.

Amazingly this wasn’t the only dog to pass the muster (not mustard) in this contest.  The poster of this video says his dog did it the first time with no additional special training.

This video gives me reason for optimism, but also shows me how far I have to go.  Can your dog do this?  If so, feel free to imbed a video in comments.  If you have any tips for how to train my dog to fetch the hot dog without eating it, please share.  Enjoy the short video.
