In SchH, when helper stops and stands still, can the dog release on his own or has to wait for the out command? When helper stands still, what is the ideal that a dog supposed to do while holding the sleeve. Can the dog put paws on the helper, shake his head, pulling or growling...? I personally think these are just dominant signs, should these be classifed as uncalm grip?
The dog can out on its own when the helper freezes. You should give the ous command right away if the dog does not ous auotmatically.Just dont let the dog start anticipating the ous and start comming off early or your in trouble.
On the bite , the dog ideally should bite full and hold with out shaking or chewing.
In My openion the dog should , if the sleeve is not to high, keep all four feet on the ground and push into the helper. The way most trainers train, the dog will bite and pull. And thats fine assuming the grip stays full. I train the dog to push forward into the helper while on the bite.
Ed has some great tapes of dogs doing the routines that would help.
Yup, shaking and growling would usually be considered faulty (tho not always, look at a dog like Pirol who growled all the time, no problem). Pulling is ok and even feet on the helper can be ok but very often the dog who puts his feet on the helper to brace and pull will then refuse to out in a timely manner. Once the out is given, the feet must immediately come off the helper.
Lee,
So are growls generally okay as long as no shake? I have wondered about this a lot-my guy is very growly on the sleeve but grips and pulls hard-I'm not sure how to stop the growling without hurting the grip...
