Understanding Personal Pressure in Protection Dog Training

In this video, Ed Frawley shares a clip from an upcoming course from Michael Ellis. Today's clip is about using personal pressure in protection training. Michael explains what personal pressure is and how a decoy would use and manage it in a bite work session.  It's important that if you are a handler you understand what a decoy is doing and why so you can get the best experience possible for your dog's development.

When people have specific training questions we recommend that they go to our website and post those questions in the ASK CINDY on the front page of leerburg.com. Cindy has been training dogs since she was a teenager and has competed in several dog sports at a regional and national level. She was also a vet tech and owned a boarding/training and grooming business for many years as well as breeding working Dobermans and Belgian Malinois under the kennel name Kaiserhaus.

Questions posted to ASK CINDY are answered almost every day. They are also recorded in our systems if a dog owner has additional questions Cindy will review the previous Q&As and this helps her give better feedback and assistance.
