pawsitivelypowerful:We attended an event put on my a local club called Dogstock, it was a lot of fun! More pictures to come. ^_^ atheoryofmind Can you explain the first picture? Was there a purpose for the fence and platform at the bark and hold?They use it for bringing out aggression and intensity in the bark and hold. They make the dog stay on the platform (fences just reinforce the position) and when they show good aggression the decoy comes closer (so they learn that a strong bark will bring them closer to an actual bite). They gradually move it closer as the dog gets the concept.You can bring aggression out close up in a regular setting too, but that can sometimes create dirty habits as the dog may take their frustration out with a dirty bite. -- source link
