Yes that's me wearing the sleeve. Most of my dogs' helperwork is done by moi. When I'm working them I'm not handling them, or at most I am downing them and going to the blind, setting up for an escape/long bite, etc. My bitch will work on me as aggressively or even more so (bc I know best how to push her buttons) than any other helper. I can slip the sleeve and then call her over and she'll give me kisses... She is just in a "all business" mindset. My male I work only in prey drive. To get true aggression at me would mean degrading a trust and eroding our relationship. Only when I work him on others do I ask for aggression from him.
You can see in one pic with my female I am working two sleeves to keep her focused on guarding me and not working in prey focused on a sleeve |
