i worked with it with hidden equip and i could never get it to lose interest and out simply by freezing. to me it was CIVIL, and i didn't try and waste time to speculate why. it didn't work, and i came into the picture much later. more likely the "trainer" had tried to break the dog down, since it started out in life as "home protection".pet. this dog reportedly had some training by a person who does work for the police (K9) academy when it was brought to him by the pet owner, but i never saw it being "trained", so i will say it never saw equipment and was never taught to target a sleeve, etc. the more fight it felt the more it would drive. this dog would GRIP, not bite, and try and drive the person back and NOT release. it will almost never grip and never move IN to the person. my def of a fear biter is a dog who will snap and/or bite to get a reaction and when the person reacts the dog will release and back up, and often it will be in retreat mode even before it bites. I may be way off track here, but i don't think it's always so black and white, and altho some may disagree, i don't think being civil is necessarily always training/equipment relatedĪ first hand example : a dog i worked with for weeks would generally bite anyone that came into its space, but i never considered it a fear biter. I never followed his progress but I have often thought about the method of training. Our friend pointed to a lamp post and ordered him to bite - he did. We were once witness to his biting efforts. The friend we knew in the Army had a GSD that would bite anything. He leapt up to the throat of the helper (who caught him neatly.) My Briard was a good Schutzhund dog but certainly not what I would call police / military material. In conclusion, after schutzhund training, the helper threw away the sleeve and told me to send my Briard. will be ignored by the dog because of his extreme desire to fight and win. That is why I find that any undersleeve arms etc. To further progress in police and military circles, it requires a dog with sound nerves and the willingness to take up the fight. You may exclaim that the Schutzhundsport trial doesn't tax the dog enough but an experienced handler can watch his dog developing and become aware of what he can bring to the table. to train dogs in this manner, apart from those involved in Military and Police institutions. It is forbidden in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, etc. Click to expand.As I understand it and from conversations held with, in particular, a Military dog handler, one who bought in the dogs for the Army, the loose term from Stefan "he goes for what he gets" holds true.Īfter the initial training in Schutzhundsport, the dog goes into a training where dog club training cannot compete.
