I realized that I haven’t published any videos of my dogs working reindeers yet. I think it’s time to show people what we do. Here’s a couple of short videos of my dog Chippa working at different ages. Description of every video will be available below the film.
This is Chippa at the age of 10 months old (I think) working reindeers for one of her first times in the open. She had too much speed do we decided to put her on leach. About 1.600 head.
This video was filmed when Chippa was about 20 months old. She is much more advanced in her training and are responding well to voice commands. This drive was about 10 US miles long in the deep snow. About 800 head.
This video shows Chippa when she’s soon to be three years old. It shows her progress to the dog that is able to make most decisions herself (and it’s still the right ones). At one point I yell at her to turn around and get back, than I figured there were one reindeer left and she saw it and when to pick it up.
