See the rest of the video isn't there... the part where she says now if you buy my training book you to can become a good trainer too.
Dog isn't being trained to do anything specific other than follow specific commands.

The whole thing was supposed to be a joke.


BADA BING!

Just wait for the next vid ....! I see Ugo is still trying to catch his breath after this one..

Now with that new info I see what is going on here.

I am no expert by any stretch but any good trainer I have seen will give you all the advice you can handle for free.

Now you see. We all are so nice here that we didn't risk telling you the video was full of @#$%^&* in case you were serious about it. Dog people are fine people. :)

She goes into hysterics to get her dog to show more drive by yelling, slapping, and getting worked up to show how high the drive is in her dog when she acts like an idiot, or a "bad trainer".

She does this demonstration in what appears to be a dog training class. I doubt she's beating the piss out of that poor beast right there in front of everyone to get her point across..lol.

That was the message I got anyway. I thought she was quite the actress. :)

watch Michael Ellis or any other good trainer how they use 'tug' as a reward, then you'll understand what's going on here.

Yes, it's all a big game (reward) as far as the dog is concerned. She was trying to act like a crazy person getting upset when their dog doesn't do what they want it to (even though she actually has full control since the dog appears to be well trained).

I thought at least somebody might get a chuckle out of that drama although I didn't expect it to effect everyone like it did Ugo..

So where does smacking your dog up the side of it's face fit into any scenario of training ?

If that was for demonstration impact, I think there are better ways to achieve your purpose. Her basic premise is totally flawed when it comes to field dogs. Saying high drive dogs have bad trainers is probably one of the most inaccurate(stupid) things I've heard. In fact trainers with high drive dogs need to be very skilled.
