he's 15mo. I made it a point to keep everything 90% fun 10% work. I don't think I'm over training him. We do train protection 3-5 days per week but that's fun for him. I do OB every day but it ranges from 1min to 20m and there is zero compulsion. He's always working for a bite. Until saturday afternoon, he's been a working nut.

This morning something is still up. I asked him to heel with me through the house for his food dish. He just sat there and wouldn't do anything. I ended up putting his dish in the office and called him. He did a perfect recall so I fed him and he ate as fast as he usually does.

Right now he's out in the back with the other dog and they are running around and playing keep away. I don't think he's sick.

I feed light in the mornings on training days and then after training he gets a full meal. We train protection almost every day but in very short sessions. And if we work him through pressure on one day where he fights the helper and takes a few stick hits then the next time it's mostly prey bites. His intensity has been getting noticeably deeper over the past couple of weeks.
