Bite Inhibition.

If she is having problems controlling her drive start some schutzhund bitework now - both as an outlet and as a control exercise. Teach her she ONLY bites/plays on command and teaching things like the bark and hold is an excellent exercise in self control PLUS learning to be vocal when she finds her target.

If you simply try and extinguish it then you will be confusing her down the track.

Nah she's great, all part of the training process. She always works for a bite when we do SAR training, it's just supposed to be on the tug as a reward for giving the indication, not directly on the victim when she finds them. :laugh:

She's been going through a phase of experimenting to see if she'll get away with cutting out the middle man, so to speak, and chomping the victim directly... very cunning puppy! But she is slowly learning that coming back to indicate then tug with me is far more rewarding than chewing away on an unresponsive victim who just holds completely still and totally ignores her. So we have it all under control over here, but thanks for the advice.
