Well he doesn't run away with it, exactly. We have the leash, dog wins the fight, run the dog in a circle, get the sleeve back, give to helper, do it again. Leaving the field, dog takes sleeve with him unless the dog has an outting problem, then it's left on the field.
On an off lease bite, after pursuing/capturing/ and winning the fight the dog, may carrying the shelve off and swing it around and chew on it some. Its according to where you are in your training.
So the dogs will carry it off (and some will bring to you). When you decide he had enough, you place the lease on the dog "out" him, and kick the prey item back to the decoy.
Some people do this, there is a time when the dog, can carry the prey item off and play with it a while. This is stopped later after the desire responce is steady. I'm not saying that its done in all cases, but we do it and I've seen others do it. Its probably not neccessary, if the desired level of drive is there already, but if its not, it can build confidence.
Opps, this is a schutzhund post, I retrack this last post. I've seen their training session on video. But I'm not sure they do anything that doesn't have the dog completely under control, all the time.
Originally posted by Ewa: Is it normal and accepted that a dog gets a sleeve after a bite and runs away with it? Hello. This will depend on the age and level of yuor training.
As someone has pointed out it is the norm for the dog to win the sleeve and run with it , or the handler will have the dog cirlce on leash. When I am laying the foundation of a young or new dog in protection training, I like the dog on a long line, so I can control the dog and prevent it from running away or anything of the like with the sleeve.
As training goes on, depending on the direction that you are going, the sleeve may or may not be allowed to be carried off. But as a general rule in the start of protection training, it is not a bad practice to have the dog win the sleeve and run with it. This builds confidence in the young dog. I would have the dog attached to a long-line.
I would also recommend that you read some of Ed's articles on training in protection. You may find some vaulable information pertaining to your problem.
