Thanks everyone!
This is what we did immediately before the gunfire work. We started with a call-off into a handler defense, but I made two mistakes. First, the distance was too far for him to really understand that I was being attacked after the send and needed his help. If we were closer, I'm pretty sure he would have called-off clean and come to my help a lot sooner, as he's never had a problem with call-offs before, but we've never done one at this distance. You can see his reluctance to take the bite that he knows he was called-off of, but he just can't quite help himself.
The second mistake was sending him with a leash on, as the first decoy accidentally stepped on it as he tried to run back to me which triggered a second bite. You can hear Brad say "That was my fault" and Michelle telling me to take the leash off, but I didn't want to stop and opted instead to just keep ping-ponging him between decoys and trust that they would would watch their feet, which they did.
The second decoy esquives him, and Connor gets MAD when he misses the bite. You can hear him comment after Connor takes the bite.
