Awesome Greg! The intruder decoy drill sounds awesome!
~ One of my coworkers from my K-9 unit days (who Jake has never met) came over and we tested Jake under a safe and controlled event!

Probably not for the intruder decoy.
I hope you used something like that. Otherwise you're not going to find any more volunteers.~ Apprehension safety equipment is awesome, everything from hidden sleeves to full body suites to minimize any possible punctures. The pressure is what usually sometimes causes bruises!
Bruises for sure...not to mention the feeling of a rag doll...when I use to work with dogs there were some Schutzhund trainers that would let some of us work with them ...so after a few months my mouth earned me an opportunity to shlep on a full suit..which felt like adding 200 pounds of extra weight and then being commanded to break and run..which in itself was pure comedy....only to then be absolutely stopped...spun around due to that awesome force that I can not describe...then there was the oh crap moment when I realized I was on my back being dragged back towards the handler..thankfully the dog knew what he was doing...but it was fricken awesome and would do it again...well this time I am about 20 years older and 20 lbs heavier so maybe not so much...lol~ Apprehension safety equipment is awesome, everything from hidden sleeves to full body suites to minimize any possible punctures.

I like the way he always has his ball with him. Has he been lonely since he lost his friend? I hope you are doing OK.
