Bite Building in Play

Not just for future bite trained dogs

  • structured play that dogs naturally enjoy
  • Great for any rehab program

What can you encourage through play?

  • Strike
  • Firm Grip
  • Rebite
  • Thrash - better for protection
  • Pull Down - better for police (pull down and thrash of equal priority depending on dog and preference)
  • Transfer

Teaching to ignore (desensitize) vs counter (reactive) - Depends on Plan

What counters do you want to encourage?

  • Go with mother nature? easy and more reliable
  • Against mother nature if important enough
