Attack training was conducted weekly. The aggressive behavior had to be reinforced. This showed the dog was shown that a human could be attacked, defeated, and no harm came to the dog. The praise from the handler reinforced the fact that this behavior was okay.

Great care was taken to ensure that the dog was never injured during this training. For if a dog was ever injured by a decoy how would the dog believe that he was capable of overcoming a human. As long as the dog believed that, he was a dangerous and much  feared weapon.

"Pistol", the dog below is taking a full mouth bite on the arm of another handler. Handlers acted as “Decoy” for each other attack training.
