Dog development.

Being a decoy or helper is more than putting a sleeve on and taking a bite! The truly great decoys/helpers can help develop a dog from the puppy stage through to adulthood. Dog owners don’t realise the skill that it takes to read a dog and be able to introduce stress and teach the dog how to win. I’ve been decoying for a long time and the thing that stands out is everyone is in a rush and instead of letting the dog mature and use age suitable training methods they crush the dog and blame the genetics. Some dogs just aren’t suited to this type of work and you should be told rather than get taken for a ride. As the old saying goes you can polish a turd but its still a turd.. Let me help you develop your dog as far as I can take it and create a monster rather than a mess.

Drive development

This is a young male Rottweiler who was being trained for IGP but his circumstances changed. He has a really nice intensity to his work but remembering that he is only young is key. I layered some stress into the work and when he countered the stress he won the fight. The hard fight will come later on when he is emotionally mature enough to deal with it.
