Real food drive from Max and his daughter Catch including defense drive!! http://www.tiekerhook.com/index.php/videos/55-fooddrive.html
" After I saw this video I have lost all respect for van Tiekerhook & Koos Hassing " Quote Timothy Helser of Ze Služebník Domu & Ohio Schutzhund & Working K-9 Club ,
Here is what van Tiekerhook has done with his dogs , and I Feel this is wrong on his part , I feel this is abuse , He has done this by praising the dog when he shows aggression to him the owner , He has done this by flanking , kicking , and hiting , and corrections by the leash He has made his dogs Paranoid to eat around the owner it shows in their eyes .He thinks this is a great thing , He calls this REAL FOOD DRIVE ! What he has done is made his dogs use 3 kind of aggression at the same time , to have one out come Possession aggression with what he says is Defence , ( I call what I see is Survival aggression ) and is Wrong in so many ways ,, Here is the picture I see from his dogs , I will be writing an article in the nest day and post the link . here is what I see in this video !
1.Dominance aggression is what you suspect it is - aggression when a member of lower rank tries to challenge or push someone of higher rank. The higher rank individual shows the aggression to squelch the uprise. This is where your confusion rises from, as this can be observed readily and we tend to use the terms interchangeably - though they are not. Lower ranked, though not unmatched, dogs will also show aggression in an attempt to take over that higher position. A dog, in relation to a human pack member, should never occupy either of these. They should always be of lower rank and not so close in dominance as to be able to challenge the authority with aggression.
2.Fear aggression = Survival aggression = results from a fearful dog This is the old "backed up into a corner" idea - be it physically or psychologically. You don't always have to have one backed in a true, physical corner or scared to death to get the reaction. Even though there may be other avenues of action available, the dogs doesn't know of them or have the skills to see them and thinks it has no other options. Striking out of fear can become a knee-jerk reaction for them over time.
3.Possession aggression comes as a result or byproduct of fear or dominance aggression - a "hands off my stuff" reaction to the threat of losing something. It is almost always food or treats that are at issue but it can also be toys, leashes, attention, or even a place to lie down. Dominant dogs display this as a bossy way of keeping their things. Fearful dogs do it as one final attempt to keep possession over the item before giving in.
MORE TO COME SOON !
I have over 40 years of experience with GSD's. These dogs are patently unstable and cannot be trusted. If he stuck his hand in the bowl, he would draw back a nub with a missing hand. I can take anything from my dogs anytime, including food. This is shameful behavior and a horrible misrepresentation of what a working dog should be...

There is a huge different between food drive and food aggression.
