We are going to work on his grips and attitude, but I see great things in the future for this dog. Rob’s dog had some problems with grips a couple sessions ago.

From the video you can see Moose is constantly driving into me and has virtually no problems with physical contact or pressure. Marks dog turned out to be ticklish, but I doubt anyone will have time to tickle him if he is on a bite. I included some new toys in the training, the clatter stick, a milk bottle full of rocks and water. All of the dogs had clean heads when we were done.
