A hot Georgia summer night and Batuque is back. Joey has asked that a new decoy in training take the bites so he can practice a technique to teach the dog the pivot leg on an esquive. That's what the cones are about...to help the green decoy with timing and placement and help direct the dog to take the desired trajectory. All that is Joey's department. On the other hand, I was just enjoying the fun she was having and trying to get her used to the whistle meaning to let go as well as to come to me. I think she is having a bit of trouble catching on that the whistle means "out" as well as "come" (despite the fact that she does ballistic recalls to the whistle when there is no biting involved) and she hates to leave her sparring partner.
