I'm curious -- I'm assuming the answer is yes, but I'd like some input from some other folks too who may have done this and can give me pro's/con's to doing this...
I love the look of a dog going for an upper body bite on a bite suit, so naturally I want to do this with my dutchie pup, but on Sunday I saw what I consider to be among the coolest things I've seen in dog training, a french ring dog do an out-guard between the decoys legs then nail him with a crotch re-bite.
I was wondering if I could train both things? For example, either a seperate command to target legs, or in a regular scenario go for an upper body bite, then train the out-guard french-ring style with the out-guard between the decoys legs and re-bites in the crotch? Is this difficult to train? I have people to work with who could help me with this stuff when it gets to that stage in my girls training, but those are things that I would really enjoy teaching. But how "practical" is this? If I remember correctly there's KNPV dogs (maybe this is how they all are? I don't know) who do leg-bites on a prisoner transport, but do upper body bites when sent on the decoy normally. So I'm assuming my "idea" is a reasonable one.
Comments and input appreciated.
