    1. Most people consider flooding (even with guidance) to be unethical–so this tells me exactly who you are. I’ve seen Inertia down town. She is quite well behaved and a pleasure to have around. Yes, when she was being trained, she wasn’t perfect. But dog’s aren’t perfect when in training. They have to learn first.

  3. Yes it is! Frisbee is now a important training part of my 2 borders collies. And it’s fun! They get very enthusiasm, happy and ready to learn more.

  4. You can over exercise a dog my previous dog was obese so with my German Shepherd I decided I would exercise her every single day. Now she has joint pain due to my negligence over-exercising her in my opinion. According to her physical therapist throwing a ball is extremely hard on a dog due to the Quick Stop’s that cause sheer force injury to the joints nobody ever told me and I didn’t know however I do take full responsibility for it now and she gets the very best care that money can buy

  6. I think the statement of limiting exercise for your dog is only appropriate when they are puppies and you’re monitoring for health and growth purposes.

    I actually had taken my in
    -tact male Vizsla pup (1 year old) to rattlesnake avoidance training and the trainer had made a comment about getting him neutered and so much energy; us walking him and playing like we do is only going to build an athlete not tire him out and he said it like it was a bad thing and we were doing something wrong and once he’s neutered he’ll be okay….(we aren’t neutering him) If he wasn’t about to train my dog with rattlesnakes I would have not bit my tongue like I did.

    We monitor his exercise for now while he’s young to ensure not too large of jumps or too long of walks at a clip or too much ascent on hikes to ensure his bones and muscles and tendons all develop properly- but we do not limit him or withhold exercise and play from him by any means even if it’s short bursts – now he’s 2 and we will ramp things up more but we always watch him to see what he can handle as he goes. And the fact that if we continue to play and exercise and keep ramping it up that he is going to be super athletic and such – I think the important thing is finding appropriate exercise and play for your dog, finding the proper breed for your lifestyle and your energy levels and what you can do (our Vizsla can go go go go go all day but we can support that and totally love the heck out of it because it’s what we wanted and knew we could do). He needs play and needs exercise and long walks and stimulation and his natural instincts nurtured and supported and safely encouraged and like you mentioned it also definitely helps training and keeps the bond going and engagement and focus – IM WITH YOU MAN!
