When working my guy on the tug we'll usually wait until he drops the prey item and then I'll hold him short and let the decoy come in and "steal it" from him to build up his drive a bit. The decoy is in bite pants with a T-Shirt and each time the decoy went to "steal" the toy my little guy tried to nail him on the arm. There wasn't any hackles/growling associated with it, just a nice "clack" of his teeth when he missed because he was held short. I'm not too concerned about the behaviour, just found it odd for such a young pup to attempt to get a "real" piece of the decoy... Once the decoy had the tug again, he was quite focused on the tug and not the arm anymore. He has turned and snapped at me once or twice during this work and it seemed as though when he did this he had simply figured out that the leash was the reason he couldn't get the prey item so he went after the arm holding the leash. Thanks. Grant
