| Breaking People in to Bitework Ok, so a few friends of mine were thinking about getting into protection work. They're considering getting pups out of BoXGretchen's litter, so I decided I'd let them see a Bo son. Who better than Carbon?! Well, I just so happened to mention he was starting bitework and blah de blah. So it ended up they both said OK we'll let him bite us with the sleeve on and I said great, it's in the car (I don't think they thought I was serious). After I gave them very clear instructions on what to do, and what NOT to do, I grabbed the sleeve out of the trunk and got Carbon on his agitation collar. Well, I wish I had my video camera on, because I have never EVER seen Carbon do SO WELL! Nobody that day walked away WITHOUT some sort of bruise/mark. Carbon usually has great pressure on the puppy sleeve, but he definately stepped it up a notch today. First, here's Derek's bruise/cut on his neck. Not quite sure what happend, but it may have been a paw smack: Click for picture Next, here's Jen's bruise from Carbon taking her out (she tripped and fell right as Carbon was going for the sleeve on the back-tie, and Carbon decided to say screw the sleeve and nailed her in the upper butt area) Click for picture And here's one from me Click for picture Pretty productive day, I'd say!
