Other than having the college do something about those large ants, I don’t have any suggestions. You guys look great!!
I did notice that you had the e-collar remote in your hand. Not sure if you had it turned on or not but sounds like you weren’t using it. I often have three I need to hang on to and find the neck strap really convenient. Of course they have the belt clip too. A little tough with baggy shorts but it clips nicely to almost anything; your treat pack might work well.
Might free up that hand for a few more for ear rubs for such a deserving boy.
CJ, Ram had mentioned he had the remote only in case Kaiser took off on him, but you are SO right about freeing up the hands! Something that simple makes such a huge difference when training.

You did a nice job with your doberman who reminds me of Roo (one of my dogs).I had a similar problem with him a few years ago with him not focusing on me too long.
I was watching the video and I would like to add that I would keep on giving the treats even when the dog follows you around and even looks at you too. Just keep giving until he chooses to ignore you, then it is your cue to stop giving and wait until he looks at you again. (Well, that is how I taught Teddy to keep his focus on me, I can show it to you guys tomorrow) I will have my sister videotape me on her iphone.
"It's better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right"
I just re-watched the marker video last night. Refreshed my memory, and I caught myself in some mistakes, the same as I see in your video. So, now I have some constructive criticism for you, as requested. I need to get a video, great way to catch your own mistakes.
When you ask him to Sitz. (for example) Let him sit, Mark, (PAUSE, NO MOVEMENT!) THEN reach for a treat and reward. There should be a pause/break between the mark and any handler movement for reward, be it a treat or tug.
I find myself giving a command, with my hand already in my treat bag also. Oops.
Make sure you are in a neutral position when you ask/give a command. If you have the video, watch it again.
Good luck, and he's a great pup! So Handsome!

Edit reason: clarify
yes, I tend to do that . Thanks for that. I will try to be more careful from my next training onwards. Amazing that my dogs learn despite my shortcomings
