The aim of a stopped attack is, as it is called, to stop the dog from biting. In competition the further from the decoy you do this the less you score.
If you do the recall tolate the dog "ignores" the order and continues his attack
If you do the recall to soon the dog may stop the attack but after the signal has been given he may redirect to the decoy.
But what if you put the dog in a situation that, due to his speed, he has to bump into the decoy. Preferably without biting.
Here is the set up 2 fences placed in a v-shape
the decoy stands in the point of the v
the dog is send and when inside the v the recall is done. No way around the decoy...
Hard excersise for the dog
Mine performed great
Stopped the attack
went forward put his paws on the decoys chest
pushed of and went over the fence
It was on training I'm not sure i'm going to restart the competition with this dog. Last year he got injured and he spend 6 months in his crate.
in competition it would have been -3 because i did the recall at about 3 meters befor the bite
that is less than a second befor inpact
I'm always amazed by the reaction speed of these animals
at 10 meters i take a breath and before the signal leaves my mouth the dog is within a few meters of the decoy. and then he has to register the signal an in high drive stop the attack
