How to Be a Better Decoy Part 3
In this video, I’m teaming up with Carlos to dive deeper into the art of decoy work for French Ring. It’s an incredibly technical and demanding role that requires not just physical skill, but a deep understanding of dog behavior and timing. Throughout this session, I learned a ton of new techniques and received great feedback on areas I need to improve. While I’m aware that I still have a long way to go before mastering the craft, I’m more motivated than ever to continue developing as a decoy.
Decoy work is essential in French Ring, as it helps the dogs train to their highest potential by simulating real-life scenarios with precision and intensity. I’m excited to share my journey as I grow and refine these skills, and I’m looking forward to seeing how far I can push myself in this discipline.
If you’re interested in learning more about French Ring, decoy work, or just love to see the training process unfold, be sure to stick around. I’ll be sharing more videos documenting my progress and lessons learned along the way. Your support and feedback mean the world to me as I take on this exciting challenge!

    Its actually a crime in various contrys to walk a big dog of leash and to have a big dog without a fence. US is crazy for not having laws like this.

  • @JeffOehlsen
    @JeffOehlsen 11 днів тому

    First thing, get him up below your knee. He is going low because of the pressure YOU are putting on with this stick and pulling because of this same pressure. Be more rhythmic in your movements. Stop promoting working your own dog. Most decoys here in the US barely have worked any dogs so it's bad enough we are stuck with baby decoys so much. Not their fault. This was a really good example of a dog who doesn't care to bite Dad, but will because he is asked. You reward conflict this way. Keep up the videos and training

  • @JeffOehlsen
    @JeffOehlsen 15 днів тому

    Keep moving as the dog comes in. Don't rotate like you did, cause you see what the handler had to do there. Your baton work could be more rhythmic cause he's your dog as well as you need to move faster and tell him he's a good boy.

    I have been wondering this for years. Can you get a dog to re-engage after the arm sleeve comes off? I heard a story of a police officer with K9 and a suspect engaging, but once the man's coat came off, the dog did its happy dance and wouldn't engage again. The cop was severely beaten, and the suspect got away.

    Do you use a different heel command for the focused heel? Or do you expect your dog to be in the focused heel whenever you give the "au pied" command? My next goal with my dog is to work on the focused heel but I'm confused as to whether it's a separate command entirely or not. I don't want her to always be in a focused heel but I want her to be able to do it when asked. What do you suggest?

    • @SergioEsquivelK9

    I say my dog wouldn't fight to save his own life,but truth be told, I don't know. But I do know this,his recall is second to none. When I say leash time, even if another dog is coming at him,he come's to the leash. I have been in a position, where I've been out walking him,and come across some odd ball's. Weirdly enough,my dog seems to sense something in me. The tail stops wagging,he gets in close to me,and looks staunch,which seems to intimidate. Yet any other time he just goes along,tail wagging,not a care in the world who's around.

    that's why i love my German shepherd, she's solid black and absolutely looks aggressive AF. but she's a giant baby unless you go after one of my kids. then you might end up in small pieces, I'm not responsible for what happens to someone that goes for one of my kids in front of our dog. it's definitely not going to go well, that I'm sure of. she got sprayed by a skunk a few times, by the second spray straight to the face she wouldn't even go in the front yard at night, even just to go pee. until my nonverbal autistic son went out the front door while i was cooking and didn't notice until he was already out, and couldn't stop him. she ran out, knocked him back and took a third spray to the face, didn't even hesitate for a second. and based on how much that smell hurts my face at that smell concentration, i cannot even imagine what that feels like to a dog with a good snoot like shepherd. i can say that people no longer slow down while driving to watch us in the yard. better than any security system, now people ask to come in my fence and listen to my answer before they just wander over
