I went ahead and made a better video of Bane at work doing some of his daily chores. I intend to use this to get some small in-home training jobs to help make ends meet until I get back to my regular job. Think it'll work?
You should note that a very important aspect of "doing chores" around the house is to maintain the level of bite. You can see this in action (only the training aspect of it) when I wrap my hand in a thin rag. The idea is to get them to grip only as hard as necessary for the task. I've had trainers call me on this practice out of fear that he might go nuts someday, but not one time has Bane ever drawn blood either during this training or during our extreme bouts of play. BTW, take the rag off and there's no further teething on a bare hand. (Except during my invoked playtime which I refuse to give up.)
Would love to hear some feedback.
