at the moment iam doing muzzle work with jnr
i have been shown how to do it so i know the basics one thing iam having trouble with is my timing to finish the fight i think iam leaving the fight a bit long he always fights hard but the next bite he gets later that day or a week later he seems a bit flat any help would be good

Hi Nathan
You should reward him on his last muzzle charge by removing the muzzle and giving him the bite reward straightaway, not leaving it until later, if I've understood your description correctly. It should be a continuous process....the muzzle charges, and straightaway remove the muzzle and give him the bite. Needless to say on each muzzle attack you are praising the dog for his good work.

Hi Nathan
I agree with Peter, he should be rewarded with a bite straight after the muzzle work, so as that he can relieve frustration and stress from the work that he is doing, it is also important that with muzzle work the dog should be over praised for the hard hits and your helper should reinforce such behaviour, for example after a hard hit the helper could fall to the grond and let the dog dominate the helper, or make noises of pain and weakness so that the dog grows in confidence each time.
A point to remember is that muzzle work can be particularly hard on a dog physically and therefore will tire more quickly

Yep I also agree with all the posts..Muzzle work can create stress in most dogs, and needs to be releaved as soon as possible with a bite and a win.
Dogs should never leave a training session stressed.
