That is one nice Dog, coming on very nicely. You are tending to step back into him at the sit, if anything step right and get him used to keeping close into you.

How old and what his lines? Keep up the good work, he has got potential.

WOW:  that was BEAUTIFUL.  Nan

He is coming along Fine But you should give a few Seconds say 5 between sit in from and heel position, It looks better and then it is a clean cut exercise, But you are going on fine nice looking Dog as Para says how old is he

 why didnt you return to dog and reward for the nice down in motion but rewarded on a broken sit in motion?
 
in the end of the down in motion - you recalled- then had to correct his crooked sit on recall- he was rewarded when he got it right. But he wasnt reward for a nice down in motion. being that in a couple of the videos you were working on his perfect perpendicular sit in his recall i would segregate the two behaviors. Once he has both behaviors perfect i would start to link them.

It just seems to me you are still refining a few skills so i wouldnt chain them together for reward until you are satisfied with the individual links themselves.

Just a thought.

But all in all nice job. Looks like he will come along nice for you.

Thanks for the compliments and the critiques!We are in  the learning/growing stages of Schutzhund.We are a new team and this will be our first trial coming up in May,so wish us luck!

Btw,my dog Harro will be 2 in May and here is a link to his pedigree:
