www.pamsdogtraining.com I just started really working on a double dog routine for canine freestyle. It is much more difficult than it looks. I think that the positions are difficult to train with a single dog routine but even more difficult with a double dog routine. I have found that it is extremely important to continue working with each dog separate and then work with them together. I am only working on tricks that both dogs know really well right now. Eventually we will get better, but we are just having a BLAST with the process. To me the fun part is doing the training and working(PLAYING) with my dogs. We enjoy every moment we have together! Have a great day! Pam, Isabelle, Bandit & Twix

when you had one on each side, doing the turns, it looked FABULOUS!
@breemaebreemae Thanks! That is the easy one, but when they both work on one side and then the other, that is the difficult one.
I can’t be too hard on them, this was their first training session where they worked on the same side. 
They are both really wonderful dogs! Very motivated to work! 
good one, but what does “Brace” mean?
You are an AMAZING dog trainer! And the bond between you and your dog is phenomenal as well! I truely hope that one day my puppy and I will share the same bond that you share with your dogs
Also, thank you for sharing all of this with us, we greatly appreciate it!
The part where they spin together gave me shivers! I loved the double dog boing trick too!!!
Are these purebred bordercollies or mixes? I mean, they look HUGE. My adult white swiss shepherd-male is as big as them. Or even a bit smaller. :O
Anyways, very beautiful dogs, I like their structure. And well-trained as well!
Another fabulous video Pamela!!! A complete pleasure to watch. I agree with breemaebreemae, both dogs walking and spinning at your side looks stunning, easy or not, it’s a show stopper! Your “boys” did great…just wondered if Isabel EVER finds a critter??? LOL!!!
Lookin’ good!
Looking great! I just started some double dog tricks with my 2 and its harder than it looks!
Loved the end part with Isabelle! 
@lexisdogs Thanks! I know, it is harder than it looks. However, it is getting easier the more that I work with them together.
Good for you! I would love to see what you and your dogs are doing together.

@kikopup Thanks Em! They are starting to get better at it. I have been working with them more on position work.
@Mustasiipi They are purebred BCs. Yep, they are pretty tall boys.
Thank you!!
@maylacie Isabelle finds critters, but they are under that building and she can’t get to them. She tries really hard.
Thank you for your nice comment. The more I work with them on the brace routine stuff the better they get. 
Now if I could just quit my job and only train my dogs, then we would make progress. HAHA!
@Majoofi Brace is a canine freestyle term that basically means a double dog routine.
I think a brace routine can have two or more dogs in it. 
@pamelamarxsen The same goes for me! The more time working with them together = the easier it gets!
I am planning on uploading a video of our “double dog tricks” soon (well after we practice some more) 
@lexisdogs Cool, I look forward to seeing it!
