This is pretty amazing, but not having any experience with dogs ( <<< cat person), I was feeling bad for the dog halfway through, lol.
Is this ok for the dog, to be put through that or is it excessive? Do you think the dog minds?

This is a very smart dog, and looks to me to a working dog breed (or mix of working dog breeds - Australian shepherd, perhaps?) Working breeds flourish with lots of training and being allowed to show off. Also, you can tell by the tones of the handler's voice that positive reinforcement was used in training this dog.
In short, I see this dog as being quite proud of his accomplishments.

It is important to train the working breeds, and give them something to do. My dad trained our German Shepherd to do lots of things. He would put a piece of food on the dog's paw and then in a few minutes say OK, and Baron would wolf it down and get pats.

I did want him to let the dog attack the toy sooner, though!Yay, good to know! I feel better now.
