| Although it's annoying.....and yes....Pi$$es me off too when they do that.... You also have to remember that they are in drive when they're on the sleeve/suit.....and wanting to continue the fight (or make the fight happen again) isn't the worse thing in the world ;)
Cleaning up the out is an acceptable thing for me.
Instead of you becoming an advisary to the dog by putting your hand on his collar.....why not put him on a prong.....and a short lead (longer than a tab...but not a 4ft lead either...) or a long line...and correct from a distance.
I don't know what your PP Protection phase pattern is; but in SchH the handler isn't standing "up on" the dog for the outs. You're at a pretty decent distance away. Long line worked great for me.
"Aus" (ignored by dog) "NO (prong correction) AUS!" (dog outs)
The last thing I want my dogs to feel is that the conflict is between them and me. I appreciate their desire to continue the fight...but Aus is Aus.....
