First Leg Bite - Page 1

A little more of his recent work :)

Excellent work by both dog and quarry

I am very fortunate to have a great helper like this available.

The dog looks good and I can tell the helper is skilled. Some constructive criticism is that your helper is too passively accepting your dog's aggression. Raiser writes about this. He comments that when a helper/decoy passively accepts a dog's aggression and that passivity displays to the dog that the helper isn't easily impressed by the dog's aggression, that can leave an unwanted deep impression on the dog. That impression could be the dog sees things only as a game, or it could affect his confidence when the decoy is fighting back because the dog has learned his aggression is not that impressive to the helper. That is why I think a good decoy needs to be a good actor with good timing and act and sound like the dog is hurting him when the dog engages or counters.

He's fine. It's not affecting his confidence and he's not looking at it as a game either. :)
Also, you can't hear it because of the music. But he is acting quite well and is not as passive as you think he is. Also, the dog believes he is "dominating" the helper the entire time.

Gawsh, I love this dog.

Weird, the one post above for some reson doesn't show the video.

disagree a bit with apple, I dont like overactive helperwork,I want passive helper and active dog,so for my liking helper is fine, dog should be more active, especially on the legbite video

He is generally very active and driving in nicely. We just have to make sure we stop before he gets too tired to keep driving. He puts everything into the bite. Every ounce of energy and every ounce of his body goes into that bite.
