It's kinda funny that you bring up Nisha needing more pressure in bitework. This is something I have been discussing with a few people for several weeks now. I feel like my dog is the same way. He's progressing in the bite work but if he switches into prey drive for too long he gets bored. Keith was actually the first person to do any bite work with my dog and he did a really nice job. He truly loves the work and the dogs and he is brutally honest about people's dogs...he certainly doesn't sell you any crap. I definitely respect his opinion and am eager to hear what he thinks of these pups.
I didn't mean to hijack the thread...perhaps an admin could come along and split this so it can be in the training section???
However, Cy is the same way. More pressure brings a fuller and harder grip for him. He works so much better in defense...
And you can tell he's pissed b/c his hackles go up, and he growls in the grip (not high pitched, but that deep I'm going to kill you growl)...and he constantly counters in...
Actually, it was funny b/c when he worked Ni, he's so tall, and she's so short that she just lifted her legs and let him carry her...which some people have said makes it harder to drive her...
