Protection Dog/Obedience Demonstration

these dogs should be used for protectin training. Get a GSD or Dobie. Why use pit bulls don't they have enough to deal with

THis obiedience is half assed, heeling- he is forging and not even looking at the handler, the dog is shut down from compultion training and the hand signals are unnessicary.. and the protection is sad.. i have seen poodles do better protection phases.

what hours and days do you do this training.

This dog looks shut down, and afraid of receiving another harsh correction. His body language is that of a stressed dog, doing what he must because he's MADE to, not because he's been taught to enjoy his work. Check out Morten and Cecile's working dogs on Youtube. They are absolutely reliable, but the body language is completely different - happy working dogs.

Because he has learned that PAIN (a shock on the collar) is the signal to OUT.

Really proper fight and out training can only happen when the dog LEARNS the process of making the transition from fighting to not fighting. It takes a lot of training and development of the dog. Pain just confuses that. It's not just a matter of "obedience."

In schutzhund, for example, on the guard after the bark and hold in the blind, the dog is told to DOWN and wait. On the escape, the dog is supposed to BREAK the obedience of the down, because the decoy has tried to escape.

The act of biting is not an act of obedience. In a really good protection dog the act of biting is an act of FIGHTING.

Outing means the dog stops FIGHTING when commanded--which typically isn't INSTANTANEOUS.

I still wouldn't be surprised if these dogs hadn't had some shock collar work. Their outs are too abrupt--perhaps like they EXPECT a shock, even if they're not getting it on this particular occasion.

Well, if you say it's your dog then I have to take you at your word. Obedience really has nothing to do with a clean out. When a dog bites with feeling he is not UNDER obedience. In order to out he has to CHANGE his FEELINGS--which takes a certain amount of time (a couple of seconds, typically). There's no magic to it. It's a matter of the dog making a transition from fighting to not fighting. If the dog isn't REALLY fighting, then it's not REAL protection work.
