I am not much a fan of A'Tim, but I like the video and the courageous decoy. He really does trust A'Tim to be clean in the bite. The crawl to the object in that exercise: very cool. You guy's are lucky with such decoy !!
I agree, the decoy work is excellent. However, I must say, any dog that bites like that (huge grip) and shows that much drive - I am a big fan. Plus, to complete the 'golden triangle', I must extend my compliments to the handler/trainer.
Great dog + great decoy + great handler/trainer = great outcome. Congratulations!
Yes, our decoy Dirk Nauwelaerts is a "one in a million decoy" indeed. He is one of the best I've ever seen and has the ability to "read" a dog and always react in the right way. Moreover he is very athletic and the word "fear" doesn't exist in his dictionary. We sure are lucky!
That granddaddy surely rocks ! He can really show any young turk of a dog a thing or two. Just impressive how after over seven years he still shows the same speed and? "joie d'vivre" in work and very refreshing to see him target the arms for a change . Hope i can see him do an object guard whilst in a shallow pool of water when i get there next year martine ! Terrrrific!
Always welcome at our club in Lier (Belgium) with your dog. It will be Dirk's pleasure to work him!
Last weekend we also had a guest from the US: Afsheen Alagheband with his 1yr old A'Tim daughter Darka. She was awesome! Never seen a BR suit in her life before but she didn't care. She hit the decoy like a rocket
@Steph We can't wait for you & Waleed to visit us again!! (give Cara a big hug from me)
