my question though, is...

is he chewing the sleeve while on the bite, countering while on the sleeve, or just alot of shaking after it is slipped?
Circles are a waste of time right now, It's like dragging a shark, although, I have been working him on a double line - one to the harness or agitation collar and the other to the prong - When we run, I usually prong himn a bit to snap him out of the tunnelvision. As far as behavior on the sleeve, he's pretty committed to the full bite, but will creep to the elbow if given the chance. The only time he seem mouthy is when his initial grip is not so full, then he counters trying to get a better grip. The violent shaking kicks in when slipped.

Here's a question sure to stir it up a bit -> Do you think the Rotti shake is a genetic or training issue?
