At some point we’re going to want to add stressors (environment, stick, etc) while the dog is biting. The role of the decoy in this part is critical because they need to make sure to put energy into the part of their body that the dog is biting. If you stop moving the part of your body that’s in the dog’s mouth as you build stressors, then the dog tends to focus more on the stressor and they could end up biting you somewhere else.
