Neat picture and I'm just asking because I have never experienced any kind of Protection training but what purpose is that drill teaching the dog about protection? I get the decoy but what's with the two tie outs? is that a bungee cord on the bottom and if so, what's it teach? Sorry, not trying to sound like a smart ass, just don't understand what its teaching.
The bungee is just for safety purpose if the trainer in not in his full suit. This particular dog just started & that was us just seeing how much interest he had. This drill will eventually teach him to bite only on command, I'm also pretty new at this so I do not have all of the answers.
