Rabbits never jumps into wolves mouths is a term the most new decoys will hear. For all intents and purposes it's true. Rabbits doesn't jump into the mouth of a predator. It does what most healthy prey will do and it will run its ass off trying to survive.

The rabbit reference is usually used when the new decoy tries to throw the tug or sleeve into the dogs mouth. Being a young decoy, I recall one of the experience trainers giving me the rabbit reference.

The sentiment made sense and I took it on board, however over the years the concept didn't exactly stack up.

This episode is not only about wolves and rabbits. It also has a message on using strong language to make a point and how that can be taken out of context.

Lot's of provoking, meaty goodness that we hope you enjoy.
