Opal the Rottweiler's first bite work session with Sean Miller

Opal is a client dog who was getting the VIP treatment during her boarding stay. Opal's owner is a long time Rottweiler owner. Opal is her first working line Rottweiler and Sean wanted to explore a new outlet for Opal. She was a natural! This is her first ever session doing bite work. Dog Trainer Melanie stepped in as handler to demo for Opal's mom. This is also Melanie's first time with bite work. Sean Miller coached dog trainer and Opal for the first time together.
Fun Fact: This is raw unedited footage filmed on Halloween day. NASA outfits are not a required uniform!
Ranked #7 in the world, Sean became America’s second Level 3 Certified Mondioring Decoy and the first American to be invited to decoy at the Mondioring World Cup in 2013.

Good shape and good bloodline. The dog isn’t bad either. 😏

Thanks for the love! We’ll pass the message along. 😅

All he has to do is act like he is going to hit her with that.. trust me she knows the assignment 😊

[@americancanineacademy]

Opal definitely understood the assignment. She has great instincts and was a natural. 😊

It was Halloween! 😂

[@sashrafi90]

isnt the slippery floor bad for their legs/hip joints? serious question. thanks

[@americancanineacademy]

If the floor was slippery, that could cause problems, yes. However, this flooring is made out of rubber mats, so they get plenty of traction. Great question!

Kinda chunky

Hey! Don’t talk about Sean that way. 😜
