[quote1317126703=LeeRobinson] First...develop an understanding as to WHY a dog bites full and why a dog bites frontal. Get the dog to COMMIT to the bite with an open mouth for starters. Do this by denying the bite a time or two by pulling the tug out of the way when the dog goes for it...but meanwhile praising the dog so the dog doesn't see it as a denial, but instead as a fleeing prey item. This will help motivate the dog to open its mouth more by stimulating prey drive. It is prey drive that creates a full bite. Additionally, teach the dog to counter when the bite isn't full. This can be done with a little shake, twitch, and pause of the item...but requires technique. When the dog counters, reward with a little shake and then let the dog win followed up with some praise.
