OMG! that is almost unreal!! How does the dog manage to remember all those twists and turns?

My son has a golden like this one, Tess. I think I am going to start working with her!

I always think about things like that too, when I see dogs trained to do unnatural things.

I mean, clearly the dog is enjoying her work, but has her owner thought about what kind of care she is going to need in a few years, when her back legs and her back start to cause her trouble and arthritis pain?

My niece did gymnastics as a child. Now in her 30's she has arthritis in her hips, and her friend of the same age and a gymnast has just had her hip replaced through arthritis as well, so i would imagine it would be very similar with the dog

I never even thought of that. But you are right, I imagine it would have long term effects

I must say that I thought it was amazing, what an intelegent dog that must be, but it will almost definatly have problems later in life, dogs arent made to stand on thier back legs for long, even going up and down stairs will cause problems in larger dogs, so I imagine that by the age of about 7/8 this dog will not be able to walk.
