| VERY cool and particularly at 9 months!!!!! I would not picture many dogs at that age going after the dude on top of the car. Who's car do you borrow for the training? |

Oh, yes I understand. Ididn't make the connection, since that's not something I participate with my dog. But yes, I see what you're doing. Thanks for clearing that up. | |

| I do the same thing with the on and off switching but not on pups this young. they tend to turn themselves off midbite and fall asleep mid leap lol. |

| magda..... with every training, how young your dogs are, it is important that the dog/pup never says when to start or stop , thats allways your choice |

| Yes I know, the toys are mine and the game finishes when I say and leaves them wanting more. If I am doing any bitework on a rag or tug pups don't usually get more than 3 bites before we stop-maybe 2-3 minutes of chasing/biting/countering. I meant more that 8 weeks old puppies when playing by themselves and running around switch themselves off for sleep when they need it. With older pups that already know some commands I will stop them mid game with a sit or a down and then resume the game to try to kick in the on and off switch. |

| Why must your dog wear a muzzle in the car, myret? |

| Anthony, these are workingline puppies; they are trained differently than our showline dogs and different behavior is encouraged. While you and I may try to discourage a puppy from biting our ankles, WL people encourage it and observe their dogs for signs that they are going to mature into dogs that will excel in protection work. |
