So much better to watch then the sad entries you see in schutzhund. This was great!

Great video.. Looked like a couple of the dogs weren't ready for the level of pressure from the decoys. The first decoy we see especially looked excellent to me - great stick work, not incredibly quick, strong and fair with the dogs, he put pressure on them and exploited their weaknesses, but wasn't cheap with them - just strong and fair.
awesome, thanks for posting. I especially enjoyed the hard charging entries. Decoy work was great. Liked the sportsmanship displayed by the decoys after the dog earned full points from a take down, they still gave the dog a bit of a fight for reward. Thumbs up!
All of the bites, the decoy were running away or trying to evade the dog, I see no pressure putting on the dogs at all before the bite, and the stick hits doesn't look like he hit very hard, I think if the decoy were charging the dogs instead of running away and then give some strong stick hits like in Schutzhund some of these dogs might come off or not even bite at all. Just my opinion. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Yes, the old "hit them harder" defense. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I would not try running at a leg dog like in a courage test. For the most part, you'll be lucky if you don't have to have surgery to repair all your tendons in your knee, which the dog snapped. Dogs, any dogs with good nerve and high drive don't care about the stick hits. You are fooling yourself if you think that they do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
You know...that's why they're different sports right? It's like watching a baseball game then saying, "You know, it's MUCH easier to grab the ball and run with it..."
That's no joke Jeff. My dog tore a decoys Achilles tendon on Thursday. He will be out of commission for a few months. He's got surgery an <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />d a hard cast.
I think what Khoi is alluding to is that even an 8 week old labrador will grab your pant legs as you walk across the room. Leg bites from a ring-trained Mal on a decoy moving away don't strike me as "the real thing" either.
you can talk about your ring dogs being real all that you want - and i'm not saying that schutzhund dogs are - we all know that any dog trained in the same circumstances over and over again will do the "work", no matter what game the handlers are calling work on that particular day.
