I have recently purchased the drive focus and grip tape that Ed sells.My question is,in the part where they show how to build drive,I try this with my dog and do it as close to the way Bernhard shows on the tape,my dog does this exercise,but when i pull the ball behind my back and switch hands to present it to the other side she targets me and nips me in the chest the legs the arms where ever she can. How can I prevent this? I hope you can understand the question and I didn't babble to much. Any help will be great. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
My pup did the same thing! Only he would aim for the crotch ! I learned really quick to present the targed FASTER. He quickly realized that the ball would usually come out on the other side of me.

Gerlert's master, returned to find his son gone & his crib bathed in blood. Seeing Gerlert's bloody mouth he stabbed and killed the dog. The noise woke the baby,hidden in the blankets. Under the bed,was a dead wolf. It's throat had been torn out.

Brandon,
You were at the Flinks seminar at Ed's. Do you remember me getting bitten by my stupid dog *every* day of training in my leg or "more sensitive" regions during ball or sleeve work?
Ed's helpful shouts of "You Wuss!" weren't helping matters any.
It's all about the speed in which you move the object. I had my leg too far forward during the ball movement and I payed for it several times. Just a positional change stopped the bites ( Thank God! )
Thick pant legs and maybe a cup for groin protection isn't a bad idea either. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Cups are good!
I did some helper work for a club and always wore a cup. Not only can you get bit there, one stiff punch by the dog can really get your attention. Think of the reinforcement the dog is getting by watching you fall like a sack of potatoes!
I have that tape too, but I never had that problem with my dog. Remember the tape points out that if there is too much movement by the handler (i.e. hands, legs, etc.) the dog will see that as the prey item instead of the ball.
