If you have questions on the drives I am talking about refer to my article titled The Drives of Protection Training and Drive Thresholds in Protection Training. akc dogs Dog training school. If you are unsure of how to take a dog through these initial stages of bite work that lead up to this training refer to my tape titled The First Steps of Bite Training. In prey bite development we teach a puppy to bark for his bite. From very early on the pup learns that barking makes the helper do something. akc dogs Dog picture. It may make the helper look away in a submissive manner, it may make the helper back up, it may make him run a few steps and stop, it may even make him run past close enough so that the pup or young dog can get a bite. The young dogs will even learn that barking will make the helper run away so they can be sent off leash to chase and bite the fleeing helper. The important thing for handlers to understand is that all of these things are done in prey drive. akc dogs Dog wallpaper. The true bh is not started in bite development, it's started when the dog is a little more mature and ready for some defensive work. When I explain how the process works I always like to use a puppy and a cat as an example of what we are trying to accomplish. I was lucky enough to get some photos this week of my son's pup chasing and cornering our family cat. I will use these photos to help illustrate my points. When a pup chases a cat it is doing so through prey drive, as the cat runs the prey is stimulated and the pup chases. When the cat has had enough of the game it will stop, turn get its hair up on its back (to make it look bigger and stronger than it actually is) and then "HISSSS" at the pup. It may even bat his paw at the pups nose. The pup backs off when the cat stops and hackles up. When this happens every pup is going to slam on the brakes and back off. Initially, for a few seconds the pup is startled and confused. Its prey item has turn into the aggressor and he is unsure of himself. The pup may get its hair just like the cat. The pup backs off and surveys the situation a little. When the pup sees that he is not going to be attacked it will start to bark. The bark is not the same bark as the one used when it wants out of the pen or when its barking for its ball, or even when it barks for its puppy tug. It's a deeper more serious bark.
