Enjoyable video to watch. Its interesting to watch the training that goes into protection work, including the decoys learning and having fun with it. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of those bites even in a suit! Looks like a fun/challenging line of work to do this type of training.

Incredible students! The various training that it requires to be a decoy to train in protection work. I understand that this takes practice in order to move properly as not have the dog harm himself on impact. I have seen training of this caliber while I served as a Marine, and have seen dogs get broken bones etc. Sometimes fatal. Great clip.

Enjoyed watching people interested in protection work. Those in the video also appeared to enjoy it too. This is obviously a credit to the instruction. The video itself was fun to watch, especially with the music. Great job Michael and Leerburg!
