Hello everyone.
My male rott is 12 months old,on the tie back I use a 6 foot leed with a 8 inch strong spring,dog in harness. I hate to see the dog flip over, do any trainers use short lines maybe 5 foot so the dog can't get that big lunge going forward. Reason for my tie back at this stage is for prey drive.
Thanks for help Brent

Well, the tie-back should be long enough so that the dog's tail doesn't hit the pole.
I don't like using springs in the line, it makes it harder for the decoy to know his true line limit where the dog can reach him, just my opinion there.
The handler is the one that controls the dog and prevents the dog from flipping, if he's doing that you need to control him via the leash ( standing by his side but not getting tied up with the seperate back-tie line )
Thanks for your advice.
Just to be clear.
At this stage I am helper and handler. I thought it was time to move from behind the gate barking for bite pillow to rotating tie back pole ,at this stage just rarely want to get that barking going while tied.
What do you think?
Cheers Brent
My main concern is the dog hurting himself while on tie back lunging and flipping.
Is it possible not to use tie back and just use gate/fence where dog can clearly see you and just reward over fence or through the fence ,with bite pillow attached to line. Just a thought I had.

I would eliminate the spring and use a longer line, say 10 ft. with it attached to the pole at a height slightly higher than the height of the dog. Also try walking him out to the end of the line before you begin working him.
