Question from the idiot. What would you guys say is the best way to train a dog to bite in more than one spot to get a better bite on an evasive decoy? Would you work the dog randomly for the bite or would you teach it to target on several spots at different points in training? Dont know if what I am saying makes any sense but I think you guys can get the gist of what I am asking.

Also, when you have a dog that will target the chest, you run the risk of the dog getting hurt/jammed. The reason is because a lot of times it's like the dog is hitting a brick wall...

Yes, because a bad guy isn't going to be wearing a bite suit, and unless they weigh in excess of 300#, there ain't gonna be much to grab onto.
I dislike encouraging center mass targeting on the upper body...

Sometimes I trained with a woman w/a couple bandogs, 90# or so. One of her dogs (who had very hard bites) got a fair amount of Matt along w/the suit when he was teaching it the crotch bite. We were laughing so hard she couldn't tell the dog to out. I used to ask Matt what, in his life experiences, made him want to wave his crotch at a biting dog in the first place.

I don't necessarily think a real life apprehension should involve any shaking, per say. Shaking is essentially the killing of the prey, and I think a real life biting dog will be working primarily in defense once in that particular situation. I would think it would tend to cause a lot more damage, which for a law enforcement stand point, is not what you're trying to do.
Now, maybe a PP dog is a different story, but then again, people are so sue happy these days, I don't think I'd want that out of my PP dog either.
