We have started again training in the adult hard sleeve. She's been biting really good in a soft sleeve. But in the hard one, she sometimes tries to bite in the? upper part of the sleeve where it is soft. How do you train to get the dog bite where it should bite? Suppose there is other ways than putting a plastic thing on the soft part of the sleeve so the dog can't bite there. Does anyone have good ideas?
1. Don't know if they sell this type sleeve in Europe. You can use a sleeve that has a very nice, rewarding soft spot in the proper biting area and elsewhere the bite is not as rewarding. Here is an example: http://www.harddogs.com/Sleeve01.htm
2. See if your decoy can 'catch' or 'present' the bite so that the dog does not get an intial grip somewhere other than the appropriate target.
3. If the dog moves it's grip, then you must keep back pressure on the dog while it is on the grip.
4. Attach a line to the sleeve. Once the sleeve is slipped to the dog, the decoy can still maintain tension on the sleeve so that the dog does not move its grip to a different spot.
5. If the dog is going to the upper arm then make sure that the dog is not sensitive to the stick (or whip). Sometimes the dog moves away from the stick.
Thanks for your answer Danny, I'll try with the suggestions 2,3 and 4.
Actually she was trained in the soft sleeve with a decoy who used a line to the sleeve and it was very succesfull and Warga learned to keep the bite where it should be. I just never really understood why he used the line, but you made me understand So I will tell my decoy to use the same technique and I suppose it should work as good on the hard sleeve
