List dog breed
A pup must have the genetics, nerves and drive for this work. list dog breed Obedience training. The genetic factor is very important and must be present if the dog is expected to do this work. In one of my question and answer sections on my web site I was asked if a standard poodle could be used as a police service dog. I made a few sarcastic comments about how this would never work - I think I said something about ribbons in his ears get in the way. list dog breed Boxer dog puppies sale. When I published the answer I heard from the only two poodle owners in the world whose dogs ALLEDGEDLY do bite work. But the fact remains, if a dog does not have the right genetic make-up you will be wasting your time to do this training. One can not take an 8 week old pup out and start him on a body bite suit - the training must be done in stages just like every other type of dog training. list dog breed Dog barking. You train the steps and then put the pieces together for the final product. There are always many many ways to train any exercise in dog work. I am sure there are other methods to train this but its the way I have done it. I start building the prey drive in 8 week old pups with the use of the agitation whip -I let him chase the end of the whip around just as you would tease a cat with a string. I do this while I walk the pup, we make a game out of it. If he has a good prey drive he catches on very quickly - but this is also excellent for building prey drive. Once he is doing this well, I begin to crack the whip while he is chasing it - this not only socializes him to a loud report (like gun fire), but also builds drive for later bite work in which the whip is used. At this time, I also introduce him to a french slagger stick. This is a 1 inch bamboo stick that is split down the middle 4 or 5 times and taped on the end. When shaken it clatters and makes quite a noise (this is much more effective than a normal schutzhund slagger stick because of its size and noise). With the pup playing tug on the end of the whip, I caress the pups back with the slagger stick - over his back, under his belly, around his legs and over his muzzle. Basically teaching him to feel the stick all over his body. He learns that it doesn't hurt. If the pup has a problem with the stick, you can rub it over his body while he is eating or while you are brushing him. He must learn that he has nothing to fear from the stick. Its during this whip work that I begin to introduce him to the "OUT" (for schutzhund trainers this is WAY TOO SOON). When its time for him to release his bite - I get down on the ground and gently pry open his mouth while giving the "OUT" command - this is followed by allot of praise ("GOOD OUT") and a piece of food after the release. Once a pup releases the whip I will instantly put the dog back into drive. I want the dog to learnt hat the OUT is not the end of the game but rather the beginning of another game. When dogs understand this they seldom have problems with an OUT. This gentle "Out Work" is continued through the puppy training - its my feeling that if you can teach a pup to bite - you should be able to teach him to stop biting. But remember to do it with patience and feeling. Don't expect too much from him - at this point we are just trying to condition him to the word. When we see the stick no longer effects him, we begin to condition him to the noise it makes.
