Michael Jen Webboard User Reg: 09-01-2003 Posts: 34 Loc: Offline	I am working on leg bites with my 8 month female Dobermann by using the large puppy tug that has the straps on both ends. When she goes for the leg, she often uses her front legs and hugs the tug/leg when she goes in for the bite. How do I get her to lead with just the mouth and not hug with her legs? http://www.bvdt.net

How are you working the dog? Do you have her on leash while a helper uses the tug? I think a bit of tension would help prevent her from doing that. If she has to use her legs to propel her into the bite, she won't be able to get them around the tug. Another variation is a bungee cord device so that the dog has to push forward into the bite. Just make sure that you are handling the dog to make sure she doesn't snap backwards off the bite.

I realize what I am doing wrong based on what you mentioned. Thanks a lot for your help. http://www.bvdt.net
