I agree with Willie - the dog is frustrated and both the handler and the decoy are making minor errors that are making for a set-up for a mis-directed bite.
For the decoy ( who was otherwise excellent ), he was "loading" the dog with the whip way more than the dog needed - he could have gotten the same reaction from *this* dog with a change in posture alone.
He was basically pushing the dog into what we would call "hectic" behavior, and that's were trouble happens.
The dog would have benefited from being in a harness instead of using a collar alone.
Next, this is not a dog that was needing the "come into my arms" as much as was being done here - the dog was simply becoming frustrated and the handler was making himself a target by bending over the dog so much.
Just my opinion, but it seems to fit the bill here.
Your ability to clearly state what is subtly being done incorrectly and how that is effecting the dog, and what could be done differently makes it so much easier to understand what I'm watching.
