I don't know anything on bite work, but I wanted you guys to watch this video and tell me if what this guy is doing is correct or is he just a moron. Scroll up to the 3 minute mark if the video starts to bore you.

So I don't know a whole a lot about bitework. But from what I do know and what I see on the video.
Spinning a dog on the sleeve is generally considered poor helperwork. For most breeds it risks injury and for dogs with "hang" it's not accomplishing anything... at least realted to bitework.
Asking the dog to jump stationary (not moving forward), repeatedly and when the dog is overweight is not safe or responsible handling.
Prong collar fit loose (my pet peeve).
The dog is 8 - 10 lb overweight. Poor muscle tone and coat quality. Plus they bother to measure the dog's head?!
The dog appears to be far more suited to hang time and disc competition than it is suited to bitework.
Thanks for looking at the video guys, I know the sending the dog accross a street and into a neighborhood yard with no fence is a given in the idiot dept, but is releasing the sleeve and pillow to the dog correct? Is that the reward? Also swinging the dog in a circle doesn't make sense to me, what do you guys think of that?
....Sorry Anne, I was typing my question as you were typing the answer haha. I know the dog is overweight and the head measurement at the beggining of the vid is plain stupid
Will is so right on, and by the way, that was not an APBT (at 87 lbs) or an American Stafforshire....that my friends is the new American Bully, AKA Bluff.
