Baxter8,someone else posted this video just recently.
Personally my heart would be in my mouth if it was my dog doing some of the tricks involved,but I'm a wimp. Obviously this dog's owner isn't,neither is the dog.
All I see is a happy,astonishingly intelligent dog with an amazing bond with he's owner.Having the time of his life if you ask me

Thanks Lacey and Caramel for pointing this out my duplicate posting. I was about to ask Admin to remove and realised they had already.

Clever dog. If looks happy enough to me. Don't forget BC's love to work and please, and this dog is doing just that. You have to work a BC's mind.

The dog has a life jacket when on the surf board so it is quite safe.

My dog would probably do those jumps she loves to jump.

The only when I don't like is it going down the road.

That's quite obviously one very happy dog. And obviously trusts his owner implicitly.

They have actually learned everything they know from watching videos of me and Bella performing all her tricks.


I mean I did teach her not to walk straight out of the lift as soon as we got in it and before the doors closed! And it only took me a week lol!

Bella zooming 100 miles an hour on a skateboard
I could picture that

She'd be doing tic tac on it to chase the lizards as they zig zag about!

Wearing her little helmet and knee pads of course - I insist on that.

Many dogs love this kind of thing. It's a big game and way fun. Even my Akita, who, typically for his breed (he's typical in hardly any other respects) has absolutely zero interest in tricks, adored puppy training because it was so much fun! He even won little awards. If it is fun for all, yay!

What I hate to see is dogs being berated or punished for failing at stupid stuff. I've seen footage of people beating their dogs after they didn't win at shows. That hurts.

Doing crazy whatnot for fun-- well, who hasn't done that? I'm all for it.

Indeed. I feel the same way about some of the 'crazy stuff' my kids have done and still do 'for fun'. Hell you can wrap them up in cotton wool and keep them home with you or you can let them HAVE A LIFE!

OR YOU CAN JUMP OFF THE BALCONY ONTO THE TRAMPOLINE WITH THEM!!!

Er, forget I said that...
