Does anyone here know Czech protection commands? The two Czech sites I found with Czech commands are general obedience. "Hold and bark" are not included.
On the imported dogs I have handled, I was always told to use the "bark" command- Stekej (kind of sounds like schtickay)
If you are buying a pup or even a young 6-7 month old dog, it won't matter. You can teach it whatever command you want.
I can honestly say I have not seen a dog that was trained with pozor yet. Doesn't mean they aren't out there, but Drz, stekej, and pust are the important ones. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Even if you buy an adult dog, you can teach new commands. I had a czech stud stay with me for a while and he had German down pretty good by the time he left. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> You will get in a habit and the dogs are remarkably good at understanding tone and body language.
Kristen, I have a word of advice for you.
You have mentioned that you intend to have your dog function as a ppd. If so, you need to train in your native language, which is English.
In the event of a true emergency when you need to command your dog, you will not remember foreign commands. I've seen this happen even with well-trained police officers.
A good ppd vendor should stress this point to you. Those that don't ( which is most of the ppd vendors ) usually don't have any real world experience in protection or altercations.
This is not unlike a clerk at a gun store who gives you a recommendation for a self-defense firearm, but has never been in an actual gun fight. I see that all the time....

The only thing that concerns me with that is what if someone else tells the dog to do something - will the dog obey them? What if the person the dog is being sent at yells NO or something - will the dog stop?
I thought I could use Czech commands since they aren't as well known as German ones and someone else wouldn't be as likely to know them or accidentally end up saying one and causing the dog to go off or something.
To be very honest, I don't think I will have a problem remembering commands, as often as I'll be having to use them in training. I've been in a life or death situation before (I was raped when I was 12 by a stranger while I was at my little brother's t-ball game), so I know what it feels like to be scared and having the adrenaline pumping and your mind racing. Honestly, though; I really don't think my being able to remember the commands would be a problem - maybe I should bring that up to Wayne next time I talk to him and see what he says.

If your dog is obeying another person in an attack episode, you have the wrong dog for a ppd. That's a temperament and training issue.
Trust me, when your life is threatened and you're working on pure adrenaline - you *will* have trouble remembering a foreign command.
You can ask Wayne, but before you do, ask him how many real world attacks he's been in. As far as I know, he wasn't a K-9 officer. And most people, including most dog vendors have never actually used their dog during an assault.
And that's not meant as a knock against Wayne who I respect as a trainer ( he's accomplished far more in the dog world then I ever will, my hat is of to him ), it's just there's a big difference between selling a person a dog and training them for an event versus actually *knowing* what happens during the event you're training for.
Big, big difference, and it's one of the big problems with ppd providers across this country.
