Bite Intervention Training For Everyone (B.I.T.E) - Streaming Video on Demand

I have now watched this video several times and each time I come away with more information and observations of the changing behavior cues of different dogs. Judy does an amazing job of pointing out the subtleties of the dogs communication, how to deal with them and how to allow the dogs to tell us how they feel about humans, our behavior requests of them and our responses. She allows the dogs to make choices and gives us the tools to allow these choices. I very highly recommend this video to help understand canine body language and encourage us, not only as a handler but also for anyone wishing to interact with other dogs and how to do so in a safe manner for dog and human.

Extremely helpful and informative video. Judy does an excellent job explaining her technique. I personally love how she explains the dog's body language and how that drives her training. I will be recommending this video to all of my friends that have struggled with their dogs in the past.

Terrific information delivered in a clear concise manner. Thoughtful presentation with fabulous examples. I highly recommend this video and have added it to our curriculum.

I really like how Judy gave each dog a “choice” in the training! She explained each dogs low level stress signals that would precede a bite. Each dog owner learned why removing them from some settings will help the dog recover after become stressed.  I felt the German Shepherd working with Mim was showing plenty of low level warning signals such as walking away, hesitation and avoidance. His arousal never increased such that he was unable to think and learn. Best of all, Judy was able to resolve conflict with him so that he was desensitized and not sensitized in this training. So many trainers “flood” a fearful dog which only inhibits the dogs behavior in that setting, it does not change how the dog feels about people. Judy is very skilled at connecting with dogs and figuring out their social tolerance, social confidence, environmental confidence, and more, to help the owner understand the dogs individual needs.

Excellent video! I learned a lot about to bite intervention. I learned positive training techniques, that allow my dog to have a choice, increasing his social confidence.

Although i think the content well done some of the interactions with the dogs were in my opinion very dangerous to one of the trainers named Mim. The German shepherd should not have been in this environment and more than likely pushed further would have bitten. I have been successful in using treat and retreat for many years with hundreds of different dogs but there is a point when you have to make sure everyone is safe. I liked the premise of the video but the safety of the people left me pretty worried for their safety.
