For me, again, it's motivational. I simply lock up and wait. The lock up usually tells the dog I'm no more fun. As soon as he lets go, I IMMIDEATELY put the rag/toy back into prey for a rebite. Most of the reasons for a \"no out\" is the dogs fear of loosing the toy/rag/sleeve. Once it realizes it gets it back just for releasing it, I then put a command with it. \"AUS\"!
I became a big believer in this when a really nasty, Sch III dog came to our club with a HUGE out problem. He just didn't! He had been shocked, pinched, choked to unconsciousness! The out command became a fight song for this dog. The first night on the sleeve, he hung on for 20 mins. Our TD/Helper weighs 340 (thank goodness). When he finally let go, he was rewarded with an immediate rebite. Only took 15 mins the second time :roll:
. Within a couple of weeks, he was cleanly outing on nothing more than the helper locking up. He did have to go through the same scenario (much shorter time) with the next couple of helpeers we put him in front of, but soon realized the \"Aus\" ment the same with everyone. The only down side is, so far, he still wont out on a helper lockup if he feels any weakness in the helper. He will with a command though.
