\\\Ive heard that dogs trained mainly on prey drive will likely go after the thrown ball instead of the decoy.\\\ Mila

i know this isnt true for all prey driven dogs, just like its not true when she say a dog trained on purely defense will be much easier to scare off.
Mila - your posts concerning the size of the people in your country VS a 200 pound helper lead me to beleive that you should not be passing out critical advise but rather reading archives and studying the art of protection training. I have seen some very intense small helpers. There only problem is in trials where they have to pick a dogs front feet to drive them.

Ed with all due respect I think we are not talkin about sport training from the start that's why i dont see a need for a perpetrator to pick up a dog.
I know ive got a lot to learn and i think this is one way of learning things through interaction.
Maybe i read something wrong in these posts but i think that kay made the statement about the 200 pounder here in america....and mila was just trying to quote her on what she said.....maybe it my bad and i should reread these posts for a third time...

I made that statement saying there's a difference...Mila stated there shouldn't be. Ed said there is.
My point was not only about size, but also the relative differences in the countries' attitude towards dogs. Why else in the Philippines is the medium-sized askal such an effective deterrant? People are more easily scared by dogs there; it would be harder to find someone that would want to take on a big, imported dog, compared to here, where I see people more amused by a big, snarling dog than anything else.
Anyway, I thought to mention PUDA because Will was interested in the difference in training techniques in the countries. However that shouldn't be true, because in a sense it is the organizations that differ in training, as Mila has shown us here.
If the PUDA has a website, I'd love to look through it.
And let's not forget - the country of origin does shape whatever dog sport evolves there. KNPV has a bike take down, because a fair a mount of the country of origin still ride bikes ( something you don't see too much of in the U.S. ).
KNPV also has a water jump since Holland is a country full of canals - again, not as needed in the U.S.
I could give several other examples but just look at your favorite dog sport and it's easy to see my point.
Not a bad site at all! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
That site is cleaner and more informative than many U.S. dog sport sites, my hat's off to them!
