Thanks for the replies. Duane's right, I'm trying to improve my skills. Definitely the decoy does the majority of the training but I'm just not helping the situation.
There is a mondioring club here but it is very small. The big problem is that my dog was mistreated (I suspect beaten) by one of the club members so I'm not happy about taking him there. Mojo has had some protection training from the person who abused him. The dog may be a sport dog but not a protection dog. He really does enjoy the biting aspect & since he's a mal, he needs something challenging to do. There is a trainer who is interested in working with Mojo in french ring. I'm setting the dog back since I don't know what I am doing. I'm in beautiful Amarillo, TX which isn't close to anything.
These statements led me to believe that doing bite work, without finding a real decoy, could lead to an unhealthy situation for the dog, or any dog for that matter.
