After listening to the whole video what you suggested and your exercise to overcome the handler conflict seem to be very appropriate for an apprehension dog. Good stuff.
We are working a dog that while on a hold and bark ( neutral helper ) the dog tends to glance back to the handler as she approaches. We have started showing a threat and stick tap on the front shoulder from the helper the instant the dog looks away reinforcing the threat can come at any time. Seems to be helping, let me know what ya think.
What is the proper way to handle a K-9 that bites the handler's hand when the handler won't allow their partner to rush a suspect right away? It was a snap and not a lock on type of bite.
I've never had a problem with my personal protection dogs with handler conflict. A good personal protection dog is handler sensitive and you are both on the same side. Police dogs are in conflict because the bite is more important than their handlers than getting the threat to leave. Which is my intention I want and I want my protection dog to have the same intention.
my dog when he reaches a very high level of arousal, gives me soft bites by taking it by the collar to remove it from the decoy, redirecting the bite to my. although I haven't done it for a long time, I'd like to know how to fix the problem
Just getting into this dog stuff. My dog runs away with his ball and string when I reward him. If he sees I have to balls no problem. Not sure if this would be conflict as he steers away when I reward him with the ball and string. Comes if I call but will want to leave again
Maybe topic for another video, but what happens to these dogs when they retire? After all the work and drive, can they be satisfied with a civilian life or do they need to continue this training afterward?
They retire at home, most of the time, with their handlers. Some, depending on age and temperament can get used to that easy life at home, some, again, depending, cannot and must have an outlet for their drives and frustration. You work the dog at home a couple of nights a week, let him do some searches, give him a bite or two on a sleeve, the dog released some drive, happy dog.
Great explanation! Love how you break it down to make it easy for us to understand.
Thank you!!!
Good stuff brother!

How long does this process take?
Yo but the beat is clean though ain’t it! Lol 😂

Did the dog not think the judge was a second decoy/ threat?
The dog popped off and avoided the judge and decoy
