Malinois: protection of the object – advanced stage

      The goal of the next step of the protection-of-the-object-training is to protect the thing from the decoy who tries to take the object (a bag, chair, etc.).

      The decoy is moving  around the dog at the distance of two meters. The dog bites the decoy  only when he steps inside the circle (remember - the radius of 2 meters?). Once the decoy tries to go away from that distance, the dog should return to the object.

      The most difficult thing in this training  is to teach the dog to come to the object when the decoy is going away with the dog  biting his costume.
