Yep. It is a training scenario, the ‘perp’ has a on a hidden bite sleeve. In reality, the dog failed the test, as he didn’t maintain his grip. It was a pretty half-hearted bite attempt, IMO. A good dog would have drug him over the counter, or backed up and held him bent over it.
What part of this planned training scenario involved throwing the dog over the counter at the perp?
In other words, I don’t believe you. You don’t toss a dog over a counter during training.
