"To conclude the dog catch a treat trick we will finish with routine and repetition to master the command. Like everything we have talked about today discipline, commitment, routine and repetition will insure your dog learning agility obstacle training and trick training as fast as possible. I normally suggest when you walk your dog in the park it is a great time to practice your agility obstacle commands as well as your tricks. They're going to be focused and really wanting and eager to learn at that time. To finally review the dog catch a treat we're going to bait the dog, we are going to get their attention by keeping our hand moving. We are going to start the second third toss. We are going to want the dog to always catch the treats after the third toss. The more then learn to jump on that third toss the better the chance that they will be catching the treat. In conclusion agility obstacle training and dog trick training is a good connection between you and your dog. It will keep your dog balanced and keep them focused on the right jobs to do and not the wrong jobs. People that call me with destructive incessant behavior with their dogs I normally will incorporate the agility in the dog trick training to bring better balance to the owner and the dog. Thank you for watching and have a great day."

on 11/23/2008 I think you should re-write your last sentence. You state that "people call me with destructive incessant behavior..." Why do they behave like that? Are you a psychiatrist?
Why did you throw so many treats in a row to the dog without rehearsing twice before each throw as per your instructions?
Script writing and rehearsal would help your videos.
