I'm a "good samaritan" like Diana says about people who return stars that were unfairly revoked. Let's get that straight.
Ok, Grant, thanks for the explanation on the between the legs thing...but I missed it if you answered the "is it mandatory" part. Just wondering b/c I have a 29" dog at the shoulders and am, well, 5'3". I see other women at the club having a hard time w/mals doing this...is a large shepherd out of the question? Can they do something else instead? Just curious about points/rules for FR. Thanks.

It's not mandatory that you teach the dog that way. One of the nice things about FR is that, in general, however the dog does it isn't as important as them doing it. If the dog likes to bite the arms and chest, that's fine so long as the dog doesn't miss. If they like the legs, that's cool also.
The better dogs have the techniques in their toolkit to deal with the things that the decoys do to take points away.
In the case of the guard, the dog just has to be ready to get the bite when the decoy takes off.
Jenni,
It's the same concept as a runaway bite in Schutzhund,except the dogs position start is between the decoys legs instead of a down or in the trasport exercise wich is dog is between the decoy and handler off leash..I like the run away or transport exercise better .No hackles please
Angelique, it wasn't the concept I didn't understand; my question was regarding 1)the point of it, and 2)if it was mandatory, b/c I, for one, would have to put my dog in the dryer to do this exercise. But, hey, I'm not a decoy, and don't plan on becoming one. My real curiosity was with the dog in between the HANDLER'S legs, not the decoy's. I see people at the FR club I go to do this a lot, and it causes problems for the shorter folks w/taller dogs. Does your answer apply to this as well? I know very little about sport "rules." Help.
Well I wanted you to think about other exercise in other sports that are judge the same way just different way of exercisse but the points are the same as far as the accomplishment.I understand your point about the dogs size and the person height for the exercise in FR in ours(schutz0 we don't have to worry about that.Every one as far as size or height can do the exercise.
