Cindy Easton Rhodes Moderator Reg: 07-14-2001 Posts: 2069 Loc: Wisconsin Offline	Rush bites legs at 5 months old I'm a bit slow getting this video online, it was taken about 3 months ago. I wasn't even there! My good friend Roni Hoff (also a moderator on this forum) drove up here while I was in Florida and picked up little Rush for a 3 day Michael Ellis seminar in Minnesota. What a lucky dog! He got to spend 3 days at a seminar and in a hotel with Aunt Roni and Cousin Tobi. Thanks Roni! Cindy cindyr@leerburg.com

A question: Michael lets Rush bite than removes the sleeve and plays a little bit of tug with him before the victory lap. Does he do this to let Rush know this work is similar to (or a variation of) a game of tug or is it Rush's reward for biting the leg? Or none of the above? True

Cindy Easton Rhodes Moderator Reg: 07-14-2001 Posts: 2069 Loc: Wisconsin Offline	Hi Sarah I believe that Michael is doing this for a couple of reasons. One is as a reward and to reinforce the bite on the leg *right* before he removes the leg sleeve. Remember that the leg sleeve actually ON the leg was new to Rush at that time. He also wants to work the grip a bit, and make sure he's not being too hectic (which he has a tendency towards) It's weird for me to watch it cause I wasn't there! LOL Cindy cindyr@leerburg.com
