Guard Drive or SharpnessA dog is said to have a higher guard drive when he is quick to bark at intrusions on what he considers his space. Some people will call this sharpness. Guard is an overlapping of dominance and self defense in the dogs temperament. When you see it in a dog it is very obvious. For example I have a young dog whose guard drive is elevated when he is in his dog crate or my vehicle. When let out of the crate he does not exhibit overly aggressive tendencies. Breeders in this country and around the world have made a mistake by not breeding a degree of sharpness into their working dogs. It took me a long time as a breeder to understand this. Dog's who have a small degree of sharpness make much better police service dogs and personal protection dogs. We see a lot of sport dogs who have no guard drive. These dogs are so stable in temperament that they do not see an intruder in their home as a threat and will not even bark at them. StimulationWhen you hear me use the word stimulation, I simply mean the helper is going to engage the dog in a way that will result in the dog going into drive, either prey or defense. The GripAnyone watching my videos are familiar with what I mean when referring to the grip. What we want to get across in the tapes is that as we apply stress in defensive training the grip is going to change. In defense the grip will be firm but volatile. The defensive grip is usually with the front of the mouth. Its not unusual for a young dog with a full mouth grip in prey work loose some of the depth of grip in defense.
