A couple of questions to members that train their dogs in bitework.
Do you train your dogs to shift bites, such as going from the leg to the upper body if a person starts to beat the dog that is biting the leg? Or do you think that it comes naturally when a dog is in a real fight, and nothing you really need to specifically train for?
Obviously this question isn’t applicable to certain sport enthusiasts who would lose points for their dog transferring bites, unless they were in a competition which would warrant it. However, sport trainers are more likely to train for this scenario than service trainers are, who do in fact train for lower arm bites/grips without transferring the bite.

I've found that it is something that comes naturally when a person fights with the dog. In terms of training what I would suggest is allow the dog to have some freedom on a bite suit and show him that he's allowed to bite elsewhere when a person is fighting with him so when it happens for real it's not the first time he's come across this type of situation.
The other thing is get in there and help the dog, the first time I came across somebody who was fighting with the dog and I joined in the dog disengaged and was totally confused because we had never done it before. The dog was more than happy with dealing with the fighting man until I joined in. We then trained with me getting stuck in with the dog; lots of shouting and throwing around of arms, you'll find once you do this the dogs confidence will really grow in fight situations.
The one thing to keep in mind is the dog will be in very high drive as the two of you dominate the decoy so you may well need up the stakes in terms of compulsion when it comes to getting the dog to release. The situation by its very nature will be out of control and the objective is to gain control, once you have gained full control of the fighting man revert back to what you have taught the dog to do from day one absolute obedience.
