Prey bite and grip development for a young pup, getting her ready for her protection dog career.

Working on return to heel from different angle, turns and directional, teaching the pup to lock into the right target, this will be very easily translate to directional to a decoy later on, we don't hide or block the wrong target, we teach the pup to lock into the right one by communicating. https://youtu.be/Nta8C8KqbZk?si=bISc47yU-aTxrp-7

Free shaping the heel position, impulse control. Pup must figure out independently and remember the heel position to get food.

Working on pad foundation, impulse control, this will help with not biting a decoy in the upper level of PSA without permission, by the end of the session, he ignored food on the ground.

Many ways to train. Free shaping is the opposite of luring, it creates a thinking dog, a dog that wants to work and engage with the handler. If you like to learn a different way of training, pm me. In this video, if you watch carefully, the pup's brain is starting to work, he started to understand what he must do to get food at the same time control his impulse.

I heard vid stop from space so I ended on next pad
