My thoughts, take with a grain of salt as I am still learning, the decoy was weak, it was nice the dog didn't cue off a sleeve but the decoy didn't put on much pressure, the dog seemed kinda weak, there was a cut in the video between the dog noticing the decoy and the dog engaging the decoy, I don't know, just didn't seem impressive. I did get worried a bit at the end, when you watch the video you'll see why. Anyway, I'd like thoughts from the experts to see if my "dog eye" is getting any better. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I've seen that before. Yeah, it seems a little irresponsible to me to have a toddler right in the face of a dog on a bite sleeve. We've all heard that, "but MY dog would never....."
And yeah, I thought the dog looked a bit weak, too, but in the circumstances/setting that may be a good thing!

Hey,
I have a question. I noticed the dog had its ears back while on the sleeve. This means he/she is acting out of fear, correct?
I am no expert but a child being next to a dog on a bite sleeve seems a little, well, silly to me. I think it screams accident waiting to happen.
I read some of the comments and they seemed to be from people who know nothing about what is going on. Any of the experts care to comment on the video (on that site).
I wish the video had true sound playing instead of the music. Shouldn't the dog have given some type of verbal warning to the intruder first. The dog seemed to only want to go for the sleeve instead of the actual intruder. I'm in no way an expert on any of this but the dog seemed weak to me and the decoy wasn't the best. I never heard of the dogs ears being back as a sign of fear, I'd be interested to know this answer also.

It looked like all play and prey to me. I'll bet the decoy is the little girl's dad and they do this in the backyard a lot. If not the girl's dad, certainly someone the little girl is very familiar with. The dog looked like it was just playing "bite training" and having fun. Probably mom was video taping. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
