Any suggestions on how to give a dog bite work properly.
My dad use to work in a restaurant and he would bring my dogs some big ham bones, they loved it. Don't know how much it did for their jaw but I guess it had to do something because those bones where hard.
if one were to use a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being a cotton mouth dog and ten being an all out freak it kinda sorta works like this. If dog A is biting on a 6 there is nothing one can really do to make him bite like an 8 or 9, and 10 would be a pipe dream. The intent would be to make sure you maintain the 6 by not over working or coming off jaw work too late in the keep. The idea is to make sure he is conditioned to be a 6 an hour in or even later. If the conditioning fades the mouth will fade as well. EWO
Ok, the question now arises, if a dog is well conditioned yet no bite work was given to it will it be able to keep it's bite at the same intensity through out a long contest?
I would think it would hinder the dog feom keeping it's bite intensity even tho he is well conditioned.
Flirt pole with a hide.
I got a flirt pole but it doesn't have a hide attached to it, this might sound stupid to ask but where can I find a hide. I've never used hide for bite work, always used tires especially wheel barrel tires.
Overtyme Kennels Supplies usually has hides availalble. And Stillwater has them from time to time. My flirtpole is a pcv pipe with rope and the end. At the end of the rope is frayed with a knot. He goes crazy of it. I have tried hide too but he doesn't seem to be a fan of it as much as with the frayed rope.
I use a kong toy for all my contraptions. Flirt pole, spring pole, sling pole, jenny, etc. I start all of mine off playing with kongs when they're pups, so they ALL love kong toys.
What's a sling pole?
