| Sandy,
Cajun is fairly young still correct?
I would also work on having him come up next to you (w/sleeve in mouth) and you stroke and praise him, then let him walk away w/sleeve.....
this way he will not anticipate an out from you everytime you/he gets near...
also, I would avoid flanking a dog while doing early protection work...the chance of increasing the dog/handler stress is too high IMHO!!!
