OWIE!

Prey building rule with Cruiser. Never, and I mean never do the following without some sort of protection on with the little Cruiser...

Action - Push on his chest to try and get him off the bite when working with a tug.
Result - Dog will immediatly spit the tug, and clamp down on your inner thigh.

Action - Play with his gums or pretend like you're trying to pry his mouth off the tug.
Result - Dog will immediately spit tug, and clamp down on forearm or clack teeth towards face.

Action - Assume he's like your GSD and think you can slide an arm under his belly and take his back feet off the ground to see how intense he is in his bite on the tug.
Result - Dog will immediately spit tug and nail previously uninjured innner thigh.

Action - Attempt anything that remotely resembles "into arms" excercises.
Result - C'mon, you didn't think I'd actually try that did you?

Well, I think that about sums up the "prey building" portion of our training today. His positions went without incident or at least without his teeth colliding with my body. Can't wait until tomorrow!!
