Very cool working dog! Though I do wonder what impression it made on some of the kids. While we see a very well trained dog, kids at that age that may have already been slightly nervous around dogs might just see a dog biting a person and be more afraid of what a dog could do to them.
I personally would have brought in a dog to do an obedience routine or even canine freestyle. Both show clearly how driven a dog can be to perform and how much training can do for your dog, but don't involve biting.
Either way, my thoughts - great performance!

I've participated in protection dog demos with kids that age. To my knowledge the kids were OK with it. Most of them are pretty excited watching it, lots of OOOHs and AAAHs and they're eager to pet the dog afterwards.
I think it's good for them to see the control aspects of a protection trained dog and to see that after he bites the helper, he lets others pet him.

Everyone has the right to their oppinion mind you I did not see any child concerned in this video.. I heard laughter and of course clapping at the end..of the demonstration..
It is important for kids as well as adults to realize a good dog is a trained dog no matter what type of training it is..JMPO

Yeah that was some ring stuff.
Frankly I wasn't impressed with the stuff on the vid. First off, though I have no problem with using bitework in a bite prevention seminar with kids, this (from the exercises) was just a demo of Ring stuff. Second, that first bite is AWFUL. It is WAY too low. That decoy needs to get his **** hands out of that suit unless he wants them broken.
I also find the fact that they sent TWO dogs on him extremely risky in an elementary school environment. The risk of the dogs quickly redirecting on each other in such a high drive situation is extremely likely. Stupid.

I have a question. I don't know very much about protection dog training, so I'm not trying to criticize. I'm just curious. At one point (after the two dogs went after him), when the dog released him and they were walking away, the dog seemed to bite his hand/arm a few times as they were walking. Is this acceptable? Or maybe I'm seeing it wrong. I dunno.
Not only low, but shallow and he let go and had to rebite...I've seen PSDs do that as well as the low biting when they were on a gym floor. As soon as they put mats down for the dogs, they did a lot better. The dog was definitely having difficulty with his footing.
I do agree though; I wasn't impressed.

Actualy, it was not the bite work that impressed me.. it was the obedience and control I noticed. The dogs were slipping and sliding on the floor but hey that happens..
I liked the fact that the one gsd walked back ward with the handler that was kinda cool.. and the kids got a kick out of it.. Kids should be able to laugh a time or two..

Awww I love Jackson!!
I like Mondio because I LOVE distractions. The problem I have with Mondio is that they do not allow any stick hits, but I heard rumor last year that it was going to change. Anyone know anything about this?
Also we have a few crotch biters in our group (handlers specifically trained to the groin). Good times
