Helper Cam Video

Here is a video of our Moderately Successful home-made Helper Cam!

It was a very haphazard contraption, but it sort of worked.

Helper Roger Leddra modelling our own special prototype...

Its essentially some ear protectors, a cable tie and a camera. It almost falls off in the escape, which wouldn't have been good at all!

The dogs featured in this video are Vongalanberg Kai, Notspol Gilly (who is only 10 months old in this video) and Nikita Von Der Mohnwiese.

Enjoy.

Ash.

That's really interesting seeing it from the helpers perspective. The dogs' jaws are doing the job they've been asked to do, but there's still kindness in their eyes and a wagging tail. IMO having lots of fun demonstrating absolutely controlled aggression. I enjoyed watching, thank you.

Thats what its about. Almost any dog will bite. You get helpers that just wind dogs up till its crazy and film them biting and people think its brilliant.

Obedience is the most important thing for us. Biting is natural behavior for dogs, obedience is very difficult to get!

Thats why in Schutzhund the highest points are normally in tracking and protection.
