 This is the most important exercise in the whole protection training game. Now you see there I have a ball which she's nuts about his worst thing in life so I'm starting at the top if I can control him with a ball I know I can control him with a decoy or anything else right so the reason that I'm pulling the ball to me and trying to get it straight at him as possible is you he needs to learn that shooting off will not get him the reward patience and staying here will bring him what he wants everything stems from this exercise all the beautiful and high-level elite things come from this exercise everything starts with this exercise to be an elite protection dog all positions whether stationary or moving the dog once they know this leg technique everything becomes easy to shape and create all these exercises right because it all stems from that leg exercise I'm doing here with axle so this exercise with axle is the most important step of his whole protection training career very very powerful exercise holding the heel leg in protection training the most important critical again for reliability safety and that is a trained protection dog when they can control their impulses and their emotions knowing they want a bite but they cannot go and make their own choices and fly off unpredictably unreliably without permission very important to having the perfect protection dog
