I saw a video of a male that had a very serious and intense bark and hold and it brought up this question. Thanks for any inputs that you have. Curtis

I would start by tweeking environment first, then play with some decoy pressure. Also depending on the dog, some handler pressure can bring out more defense. This is where the decoy's art comes into play. You need a great decoy to manipulate the dog's behavior in the blind.
