I own and have watched several of the Leerburg videos of Bernhard Flinks and think his training methods are outstanding (as are the videos).
I found a comment made by Ed regarding Flink's training of the bark and hold (the reference on the video was to the work at the blind in particular) very interesting. Many dogs do this work barking for the prey object, but Ed said that Flinks trains this exercise as defense work.
My question is this -- has anyone been to a Bernhard Flinks seminar where this exercise was taught and how is it done. I am familiar with a variety of methods, but it is his methodology on which I would like information.
I know Ed is working on a tape covering this, but it is not due out until the end of the year and I'd like to not have to wait that long to get some ideas. Unfortunately my schedule does not permit my attending Flink's two upcoming seminars in the U.S. Anyone in New England like to host him for next year?
