Dog training commands
If the whip is used incorrectly in training, it becomes a prey item. dog training commands Photos of dog breeds. The point to this section is that to the uneducated person (or under educated trainer) it can be difficult to distinguish the difference between prey and defense, especially when the intensity of the prey work is elevated. We also have to remember that there is also an overlapping of drives that occurs. Prey guarding is an example. dog training commands Dog obedience classes surrey bc. When a dog is standing over the top of the sleeve that had been slipped by the helper and guarding it from the helper who is trying to steal it back - the dog is working in both drives - with the primary drive being prey. Again, a difficult concept for a novice to fully understand. Now, on the other end of the spectrum, we have these trainers that train their dogs in prey for so long that the dogs become locked in prey. dog training commands Cats-and-dogs. This is also foolish. Dogs that become locked in prey always have sound temperament and good nerves. These dogs are so driven for their prey item that they are willing to tolerate strong doses of pressure or pain just to get their prey. They develop the attitude that "I can take anything you (the helper) can dish out as long as I get to bite my prey item in the end. "I saw a response to the defense statement on the PD-L by a national select French ring helper. He made the statement that the French ring trainers start to train in play (prey drive) from a very early age. His dog was 14 months old and working at the second level of Ring. The French Ring, (see my tapes on the French ring titled Training Techniques for the French Ring Sport), is an interesting sport. At one point the dogs are sent after the helper from a long distance away, the handler is required to call the dog off of the attack (and back to him) when the dog is within 1 meter of the decoy. In the biting portion of the French Ring, the dogs are hit with a split bamboo stick (called a clatter stick) 80 to 100 times within a minute. These hits are not painful, they are noisy. They are designed to be psychologically threatening the dog. People that train their dogs for the French Ring Sport are a group of people who want (and need) to get their dogs locked in prey. For this sport being locked in prey is a desirable situation and there is nothing wrong with it. Dogs cannot work the French Ring in defense. If a dog was working is strong defense he would never be able to be called off of a down field attack at 1 meter from the helper, and 99% of the strong defensive dogs would never come off of a fight in which it was being hit 80 times a minute with a stick. So, again the point is that the steps of training need to be based on the temperament of your dog and the goals of what you want to achieve with the dog. If you want a guard dog to be in a fenced enclosure, you wait until the dog is mature and only do defensive training with the dog. But don't let this dog around the general public.
