Won't Out - Escape Bite - Page 1

First of all - this question does not involve me or my dog.  I am posting this to see how and what experienced trainers/handlers deal with this particular issue.  
I don't think I need to go into detail, the topic pretty much poses the question.  Thanks :-)

 

 I await this answer, as well.  My young male has begun training and will not aus and I don't want to come down strongly yet.  What do people recommend for a 23 month old who will not aus?

no out is no out.  it doesnt matter what bite it is.   i teach my dog that when i say out, you let go.  i practice it with toys.  when it comes to the helper i will have them put the dog in several different spots ( on the helpers back,  dog has all feet on the ground and pulling, etc.)    when i say out the dog MUST out.    i have failed a couple of times because of no out,  dont want it to happen again.

mvf,  without seeing you or your dog it is hard to give advice that will work. 

one thing i do with most of my dogs when they are young is to teach them the out when playing tug with a toy.  as soon as they out, i let them bite again.  this imprints that letting go is a good thing, because you get to bite and play again.
