In the end, the connection is formed: Handler = bad (punishes), Decoy = good (allows biting the sleeve or suit). It’s all upside down…

A dog should understand that the handler is its partner, and it depends on the handler whether it gets the sleeve or not. The decoy is just a figure in the field. This work requires brains and patience.

If you are counting on a good result, until such a trusting relationship with the dog is established, there is no point in moving on to technical skills.

Everything mentioned above has been tested many times in practice. I hope it will help many who deal with protection dogs to avoid mistakes and avoid mass problems, which are very difficult to fix later and at great cost. I wish everyone success in establishing long-term harmonious relationships with their loyal four-legged companions!
