Hello, my Female Malinois won't stop barking at the decoy after the escape bite when I approach the decoy to do the back transport. Also, sometimes she want to move when I approach the decoy by her side and tell her to sitz. Thanks for any advice.

How would you make your dog sit if it broke its sit? You would give it a correction. Right? Sit is sit! No questions asked!

Your dog is over stimulated because it knows a bite is coming...deny that bite unless it happens on your terms which means you will sit and hold that sit. Low level E collar will help..look up NEPOPO and try it. Start with short sessions, 5 secs of sitting and focusing on you, BITE..
Extend the time sitting in conjunction with your E collar corrections for non compliance and reward with the bite. If you continue this way, it wont take long until the dog understand the concept.

No expert here but...........Is the dog doing the same thing (barking) when you call it out of the blind or when you heel to set-up for the escape? If it's not doing it during those two times also then I would not think it would have to do with over stimulation knowing a bite is coming (as by now she would know that a bite would be coming for those exercises as well = the escape). I had the same problem.....realized I caused this problem because I did not address it as soons as it occured which means I was teaching this because even though my boy was not quiet - we proceeded forward which in a round about way rewarded the incorrect behavior. I was instructed to pull straight up (not talking about jerking the collar or lifting the dog off its feet) on the tab attached to a collar and say (not yell) "quiet" - release when she stops barking. Consistency in requiring the quiet before we moved forward is what resolved our problem. May take a few days or longer depending on how long you permitted the barking...but if your not proficient at using an e-collar or don't have someone around that is - it's worth a try with your girl.
