Duration takes a while. You have to be patient. You've probably just rushed a little too much on everything. It may be best if you just go all the way back to working on attention without the distractions. And take your time.
If you don't want him pawing at the toy or you. Try presenting the tug to the side instead of directly in front of you and don't tug too rough whether he wants to or not. Let him snatch it more often and encourage him to bring it back. If he's hitting you with his feet still, end the game. Tell him no and end the game. Down him and let him think about it. Same thing if he's getting your hands.

I don't know his last name off the top of my head, but I am in the DC area so if it's a mid-forties-looking guy named Butch who runs a Schutzhund club...it's gotta be the same. Haven't actually met him yet, however.
That the same Butch. Ross Have you talked to him on a day to come to the club? Aaron how long have you known Butch? I have only been going to the club for about 3 weeks but he seems like a great trainer. The helper/President for the club Ron is also a great trainer. The Club will be meeting on Sat but both Butch and Ron are getting ready for AWDF Nationals so they mite not be able to test your dog. But you mite want to come up and check it out.

Victor--haven't talked to him yet. I got his # from his co-worker @ LibertyK9 but I think I lost it so I probably need to contact her again. Thanks for the heads-up!

"You only need the time they meet"--do you mean to say that attending one club session every week will be enough for the dog and I to learn what we need to learn?
(Provided we stick w/it during the week, of course)
Nothing is by rote Ross, but by attending, watching and talking with the people there you'll learn a great deal.
Not only how the decoy handles the dogs but what others have tried, and what their dogs look like as a result, etc etc etc.
Also though, you get to start seeing in real time just what is expected in the venue you've chosen. It helps when you think about walking out to work with your own dog from day to day just what you're training towards.
