So I’m a stickler for seeing things for myself and not relying on what someone else thinks they see or saw. Now and then we get the opportunity to get some decent video of dogs working. I love to watch it like it’s game film. I’ll slow motion it backwards and forwards, forwards and backwards to see how and why things happened, good or bad, the way they did. It has taught me a good bit about individual dogs and dogs as a whole, heck hogs too as far as that goes. Of course there’s no set in stone rules but lots of tendencies usually hold true. I think it’s an extremely valuable tool. Do any of y’all do this? Myself, I think in live speed thing’s usually look one way, but in slow motion it tells the truth. I had a video sent to me the other day and the person that owned the dogs thought it was real nice. But if you slow motion it, there’s a ton going on that the regular eye isn’t fast enough to see. I didn’t think it was as nice as they did before I slow motioned it, but afterwards I sure saw several problems. I’m not calling anyone’s dogs sorry at all. I’m just making the point that if they study this video it could save them some injuries, lost dogs, or even busted bays. I don’t know about y’all, but when it comes to my dogs, there are definitely favorites and the non favorites better not jeopardize them.

First thing that came to my mind is a dog could have a dominate side just like a human, that with the same genetics passed down could be exactly why, make the most since to me anyway.
Ok to the question about getting a dog to be versatile on ears, there are several ways to do it but the best and easiest way to do it in my opinion is for a while have a dog already caught on the ear he wants and at first he may act a little confused but after he stops paying it any attention then usually they'll go either way. And just to say one of my preferences in a catch dog is one that will walk in to a bay but run out tear out like a bat out of hell.
