Most of the hard biting dogs bite hard in the beginning and there jaw muscles tire out QUIK. as the jaw muscle is one if not the shortest muscle in the dogs Body. and as some of you know, short muscle generaly give more strenght , but tire out very quik as wel... as it is a dog is born with a hard mouth ore not. just like a knockout punsh of a fighter. teaching a dog to hold his holds is frutless and makes no sense at al using training techniks. as holding ON is compleatly stamina/ conditioned geneticly related. As soon as a dog runns hot he starts to gasp!! and releases its holds.
However there are dogs that are not hard mouthed dogs that DO hold there holds loner. but this is also geneticly detirmend. I prefeur a holding dog over a hard mouthed dog 365 days a year!!. simply because a hard mouthed dog tires his muscles eurly on.
Ofthen a dog that is labeld as a hard mouthed dog is ofthen confused with a dog that has good holds and works them out properly!!.as mentiond above YOU CAN teachs a dog from puppy hood to work on the lease (harnas) holding a stuft play toy in its mouth . ofthen this works better with bitches then with males.
this way you DO teachs them to breath tru there nose!! al the time and when getting hotter. But that thussend automaticly makes your dog a holding dog when matured.. giving dogs bones is tricky as wel dont over do it and dont give them big bones. teeth do wear out. i prefeur to give them small dried cow hide bones that wil last no longer then 20 min i give them ones a week when working a dog and on its rest day.... Again bitng endurance is stamina and genetic related.....Longest holdshow we saw lasted 1.01 min and the show lasted 1.01 min .
