let's discuss the velcro Pro effect
1:00
Irish Setters are known for their
1:02
loyalty and affection which translates
1:04
to them wanting to be by your side all
1:06
the time want to take a shower expect
1:08
your Setter to sit outside the door

1:41
trials training an Irish Setter can feel
1:43
like trying to teach calculus to a

goldfish sure they're intelligent and
1:47
eager to please but they can also be
1:49
stubborn and easily distracted by
1:51
anything that moves you'll find yourself

negotiating with your dog over treats
1:55
like it's some sort of treaty agreement

complete with dramatic whining and
2:46
jumping that could rival any Broadway
