Howard, I watched the video 3 times and couldn't see what you meant about Mike almost having a bad day....did I miss Mike almost buying the farm or something? :laugh:
The dog looks like he got shot out of a gun - he is fast, very fast. It looks like he's gained a lot of confidence and steadiness just from one session to another. More deliberate.

It looked like, right at the end, there was a moment when Mike's future children were in jeopardy
The part where my future children were in jeopardy wasn't in the video But you have the right idea. Our civil work started to get a little "too" civil.
I like that mali more every time I see him, he comes in nice on the long bite. If you look at the box work carefully, you will see I can bring him away from the box so all 4 paws are in the air with nothing to push himself off. He still has perfect grip, and he had never seen that exercise before n went up the first try. Alot of dogs either get confused, need more agitation or need me to lean down more to bring the sleeve closer, then let go if their legs aren't touching the box itself. He wasn't stressing or anything.

Glad you explained about your future children Mike. I watched the video again after Sarah posted and paused the video over and over just before the last strike and it looked like the dog had targeted the sleeve. I'm hesitant to ask but do you have any video of your almost mishap?
Brave work on the Mal's part on the box work, no hesitation, no fear. He's a very cool dog. Question: is there a time with a pup 1 year or younger where you wouldn't want the dog in the air while gripping because of the dog's weight and/or stress on his growing teeth or anything? When I'm working my 8 mo GSD pup with the tug, I can pick him up so his front feet are in the air but am hesitant to do so cause don't want to mess up his teeth with that much weight pulling on them. Worrying for nothing? (I couldn't pick him up off all fours while on the tug, I don't have the strength, just the front feet.)

I left Mike's little incident out upon request. He did nothing wrong at all. We were doing some civil work and the little monster decided to target a part of the body Mike wasn't prepared for. He was wearing the hidden sleeve which the dog didn't want. Good Times.
