Interesting training I noticed just now.

So, this guy pulls up near me, gets out and opens the second door, beautiful German Shepard barks his eagerness to come out and play.

Guy closes the door, counts to 5, opens door. Dog barks once, guy closes door again, counts then opens door. Dog give a minor whine then is allowed out.

I complimented him on his method of training. He thanked me and walked off with Dog. Proper training with control works well.

I've seen different people with pets across the street via my
spy camera...recently one woman repeatedly turns her dog
in a circle, stops, starts walking the other directrion, stops, turns
in another circle and so on, dog seems to be getting the hang
of it.....

Repeating drills, with SMALL food treats on proper completion of the task, is the way to train most dogs. The owner must keep in mind that the dog has a limited attention span. A long time ago I worked in private security using a very well trained Malinois Belgin shepherd dog named Bingo. We patrolled a number of luxury high rise condo towers, here in the Toronto area. Bingo was a typical security dog, alert and always watching what was going on around him.

The K 9 company that supplied Bingo had 4 rules. No human food to be given to their dogs. The handler must all ways have the dog on the handlers left side at their knee and on leash. In the elevator, the dog and the handler must all ways ride alone, no other passengers. The dog must have at least a 30 minute rest period, during their 12 hour work shift. Bingo was taught all of his verbal commands in the German language. Why German? Not many criminals know the German word for "Out " or " leave it alone".

Bingo was a great partner.
