Hey guys haz here in shield k9 and i’m Here with mike at grassroots canine and We’re here at the grassroots canine Training facility we’re here for our Second annual slip and bite we did it Last year has came out with us so we’re Doing a repeat we’re going to keep these Going this year is going to be a little Bit different than last year and we Should have some good fun i think mike Invited me out i’m always happy to come Out and support working dog events Especially with a good guy like mike It’s a really good thing for for the Dogs and for the working community to Have something a little bit outside of Like the structured bite sports Something that doesn’t require maybe a Year of hard training you can kind of Get the dog out and test the dog there’s Various levels being offered It’s always kind of fun to do it outside The norm so i like coming to these Things kind of to be like a little fun Side thing for people to do bring people In from other sports that may not get on The field with each other so some psa Competitors maybe some french ring maybe Some of the igp weirdos you know get Them to come out and Do just have some fun with their dogs And also almost level the playing field Where no one knows exactly what the Scenarios are going to be come out work
The dogs be fair to the dogs and keep The dogs safe but also kind of test them A little bit and push those thresholds Yeah like i don’t think anything that’s Going to happen here even if a dog isn’t Successful it’s not going to break the Dog it’ll be very non-intrusive and it’s Not going to break the spirit of the dog Even if the dog doesn’t engage just like He just didn’t engage and you know he Didn’t achieve drive satisfaction but at The end of the day the doc’s going to be Fine to continue working in whatever Venue it is that you’re doing but what i Want to do with this one is i want to Kind of give you guys feedback on the Dogs that i’m personally working and the Dogs that i’m seeing and then maybe mike Will give you guys some feedback too and Just be realistic about like what we’re Looking at you know and hopefully nobody Here has like a big ego that they can’t Handle that but we like to be honest About what we’re seeing what the docs Are doing what they need to work on Whether it’s a training issue genetic Issues so on and so forth yeah and i Think that you know Luckily we’ve been able to kind of Foster that culture here the dog isn’t a Representation of their ego right we’re We’re here we all care about dogs we Want to make them better but we also Have to be realistic with what’s in
Front of us and you know being able to Point those maybe weaknesses out as has Said it can be in training it can be Genetic and then giving them kind of a Little plan to move forward with so That’s what we’re going to try and do Today as well yeah exactly and look you Can’t fix a problem if if you don’t Acknowledge its existence and personally For me i know my dog is is far from like Bulletproof um you know i i know his Weaknesses and there’s probably Weaknesses about him that i don’t Personally know that if i discovered i Said okay that’s something i need to Work on too so it’s important nobody Kind of get gets too ego driven nor on The other side should people be Critiquing Um you know critiquing people that have The nurse to step on the field with Their dog listen that person stepped on The field with their dog they’re putting Themselves out there you know it’s easy To sit back at home oh my dog would have Done xyz then come out here and show That your dog would do that absolutely There’s an open invite to anyone that Wants to come and join these events Again we do two events annually so you Know there’s if this schedule this time Schedule doesn’t work the next one will You know and um you know get out here Show your dogs
And have a good time with them man what You guys saw with that dog just a little Bit of avoidance and confusion and Usually those two things go hand in hand I wasn’t standing or sitting and it’s Not like a clear target the other thing As well this is a little bit Intimidating because going under the Roof and the dangly stuff it’s a little Bit intimidating for the dogs dog Initially didn’t want to come in Accidentally on purpose then the dog Does come in it engages pretty decent But then I wasn’t Reacting too much to what the dog was Doing i wasn’t putting any pressure but I wasn’t reacting and sometimes not Reacting in and of itself is pressure And uh dog pops off and then comes out So again you know it’s not something Where the dog’s been destroyed it’s just Something the dog needs a little bit More work on you know seeing something That’s not what she’s normally used to Seeing To the next station So you can see like the docks a little Bit confused here This is a good one But the dog’s not worried and that’s Something nice to see a lot of times the Dog might be worried about that you can See he’s still like quite nice and open
So the dog’s activating i think on the Wrong person Let them go There you go Nice You can see there the feet The feet leave the bottom and then the Guy in the boat’s a little bit too much But he reengages when he came off which Is good Oh it’s a little bit challenging for him And the handler too Yeah yeah All right guys so level one dog’s done You saw a variety of dogs there um you Know different levels of training Different levels of dog obviously you Can see a lot of the dogs didn’t like The decoy sitting down they didn’t like Coming under the roof of the of the um Uh the hut here uh so now we’re going to Get into the level two dogs and maybe We’ll see another level of dog here The important thing again guys like it’s A it’s a very harmless thing to do with Your dog like you’re not gonna lose Doing this with your dog i mean if your Dog doesn’t engage again it’s not like Your dog got broken so um it’s just good Fun Close to the coaster letting it rip Run around Oh Right there
Shining ghosts doing the mess Okay [Music] Good job buddy Good boy [Music] Oh [Applause] Oh protect the owner from the water [Applause] Oh So guys yeah this level two you can see The quality of dog In some areas now is improving we got Some dogs that are showing some real Commitment now you know and the heat Obviously from the decoys is being Turned up you guys are gonna see some More of these and then we’re gonna get On the level threes and the level threes We can really as a decoy turn up the Heat and push and test the dog and see What we’re working with [Music] Oh Right now [Music] Oh Oh Hey [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Oh
