Bitework Video - Page 3

I watched the videos, nice dog.  I'd also like to see some more control on the dog and the dog "out" with out the ecollar correction.  I'd like to see the dog out and guard or recall, but not recall so fast after the out and disregard the decoy as it is taken away. 

I am up in the air on the premise that the dog should fight on it's own.  I have been in several fights with my dog and would never expect him to fight alone.  However, he is not a PPD.  It is really not that difficult for a bad guy to handle most PPD's.  Someone once said to a group of K9 handlers, "give me a kong and swiss army knife and I'll kill your dog."  I believe the guy for most dogs.  I like the idea of a "call off" or out and recall from a distance rather than having the handler grab the dog for a PPD. 

I believe in the idea of teamwork for our dogs, we are in the fight together.  If it's too dangerous for the dog, he goes int he car and I go with out him.  Personally, I would never send my dog with out my support and back up.  I suppose if I was not physically able to defend myself and worried for my life or a family members life, I might consider sacrificing the dog.  Before that ever happened I would get a gun and a concealed weapons permit and learn how to use it.  I don't view my dog as expendable, so the whole concept is foreign to me.  I don't care if I'm on a SWAT call out, I go with the dog and I'm not sending my dog into a no win situation.
