I handle a Malanois that was recently purchased from a department in southern Utah. Here where I live in Eastern Colorado there are a million cotton-tail rabbits. When I walk the dog in the evening, I can tell it is all that he can do to handle the distraction. "Aspen" is a tremendous drug detection dog. I wonder if this frustrated prey drive will effect him at work...? Let me know what you think.
if nothing else it will increase your control of the dog, however, you do need to make an effort to put him in situations where he is not distracted too, i have seen dogs that only offer up real attention and good focus when there are distractions, its a conditioned response, that if you always try to distract the dog, then the dog will respond best when distracted, so you need to vary the distraction in intensity, and type as much as possible, as far as it affecting his detection work, i wouldnt worry about it at all.....jmo
