I've been working my 10 month old rott in bite work (as per the 1st Steps of Bite Development DVD of Ed's). I have also joined a club, which we attend once a week (for the past month). While watching one of Ed's DVDs (I think it was PPD), he discusses dogs getting locked into prey. Currently, I tie my dog out once a day, agitate him and then let him bite the tube (like in the Bite Development DVD). Now I am wondering if once a day is too much, not enough or just right? BTW, the dog loves to bite and tug - in fact he cannot seem to get enough of it. However, as his Handler, I need to set and know limits - therefore, I m looking for any input on the topic.
I forgot to mention that I have read the previous posts regarding "Locked in Prey" however, none addressed my concern (at least not in a manner that I understood;-).
It appears that locked in prey is the art aspects of dog training vice the science aspect, however, I am still looking for telltale guide posts along the way that can help me determine if I am getting close to locked in prey and/or even if I am doing too much bite work as a whole. Any advice, as always, is greatly appreciated.
