Xena - protection training (bite jacket) video... - Page 1

You might have seen this elsewhere, sorry for boring you if you have, but for those that haven't here it is..

Filmed this week, during personal proteciton training.  Several bite styles, from frontal (including passive), to rear bites (tricep)...

Control is the name of the game, so in addition to the high flying bites, a quick and clean OUT is shown, as is the emergency stop and recall from running criminal/decoy..

Hope you like.  I'm biased I know, but it's nice to see a German Shepherd with such speed and determination in the bitework.   Who needs a Malinois, eh ?

Very nice video, too bad about the soundtrack.

Do you teach her to push into the bite KNPV style

Love it, Nice piece of work!

Very cool!

Gary,

Thanks for posting that, I enjoyed it.
  The dog moves so fast I couldn't tell, is it male or female?   How old is she/he?   Regards, Dan    

I still think she should live with me.......:)

She is quick !!!

 One more thing , Gary. I know that we don't know each other, but can I please have your dog?

 Bancroft asked;

"Did you teach her to push into bite KNPV style"

Actually, yes.

I have a couple of friends that go out to Holland and train KNPV and on the few occasions that Xena has trained on a bite suit we have trained KNPV style. ie: up close with the decoy, dog and handler.  Encouraging the dog, stroking her on the bite, pulling the lead slightly, whilst pushing the back of head forwards.  Soothing voice and then slightly more excitable as the dog bites harder and fuller.

I didn't think anymore of it since, but it appears that it is working, if you've noticed it.  

 Gator113,

She's a bitch, and at the moment is 22 months old.

Glad you liked the video.

Regards,
Gary

of course on that youtube video link are about a dozen or so other videos of Xena.  Some bitework, some obedience, even some ladder climbing.

The username is K9protection.  But you should easily find the link to the other videos through the link i've posted.
