Dog fencing
The other day I saw 2 comments on the pd-L (a protection dog chat forum on the Internet) that caught my attention. dog fencing Dog-barking. One individual stated that he took his young dog out to a club and was told to bring it back when it was more mature so that the training could be started in defense. Then I saw a coberating statement that a well-known German trainer in this country (Godfrie Dildhie - he makes training videos - not very good ones at that - I chose not to do them with him) likes to start the training in defense so that the first session in bite work is a serious confrontation. One of his videos explains how to do this by putting a fence between the helper and dog so the dog soes not feel so threatened. dog fencing Dog training supply. I have one word for this STUPID!! STUPID!! STUPID !! Ok three words. My immediate reaction was to e-mail this individual and tell him to steer clear of that club. My guess is that the people that train there have very sharp dogs with weak mouthy chewy grips and nerves that have been worn thin. dog fencing Yorkshire terrier puppies. These people probably table train too (also STPUID!! STUPID!! STUPID!!)To make my point we need to examine the end product that we all want in a protection dog. This is an animal with good temperament, strong nerves, and a solid grip. One that will protect our family, but is not dangerous to be around. This picture does not come from starting your training in defense. To wait for a young dog to mature so it can start training in defense before prey can be compared to taking a child out to teach him how to ride a bicycle. It's like we would expect him to ride on two wheels first and then once he has that mastered that skill we put the training wheel on. That would be a little crazy. But that is exactly what these people are saying when they tell you to work your dog in defense before working him in prey. Young dogs need to learn the skills of biting before they can put them to use.
