I am trying to find out who down at Lackland decided to change to out and guard and the reasonong behind it. I am not criticizing it but would like to know why. Have the individuals involved in making this decision have any street captures. Do the individuals also involved in this decision realize that a K-9 so close to a subject who has just been bitten is not going to stand still in most cases, and that any sudden movements by the bad guy are going to get him bit again from a highly excited dog so close?
This method looks good on the training field but I wonder during a real world application if this method will not result in several accidental bites?! Just my 2 cents!!

One of the reasons is better control of your MWD. In addition, If your MWD is chasing a subject down and the individual gives up, why recall your dog all the way back to the handler? As the dog is running, now away from the subject, the subj. can turn and run again. The handler then gives the command for the MWD to re-attack. The subject stops and you recall the dog back so you end up in this little game of back and forth.
IF the MWD is trained in "out and guard", the MWD will sit or down in an over watch position near the subject until the handler approaches to take control of the subject/situation.
If I release my MWD on someone who gets bit, I am not going to call my dog off that person until I am close enough to ensure physical control of my MWD when I give the OUT command. If the subject is screaming and making movements which my MWD may interpret as hostile, then I know I can prevent a re-attack by having physical control of my MWD.
If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?
