Hi jennifer! Thanks!Love your photos....
Anyway , on this topic I think it's sad to see a 7 months old being trained that way, the dog is not having any fun...not a good trainer if you ask me.

I thought these dogs looked pretty serious..but then what would you expect from military dogs?

Oh wow, didn't know it could do that! OOPs, hope I don't get into trouble for it! I thought it would just post the link. YIKES

Robbin I thought it was pretty cool..

I'm no pro, that much I know. But if this company is going to Rep a dog like this in such a way, come on, back it up.

That dog has Much to Much OB training for that young age, which has killed the dogs prey drive.

A 7 month old Mal should love to work, and that dog is not pleased.


I have seen this video before, and it made me laugh, even the OB sucked if you ask me. No outs, horrible re-calls, 2 out of 10 drive. Zero defense.

How is that a guard dog?

P.s the captions were a good laugh!

Looks to me like a dog that would lick my face if I broke into his home in the middle of the night...

Just my 2cents

Hi I'm the guy who actually shot the video. Just wondering what anyone is expecting from a seven month old pup? Hate to bring any of you to a child's karate demo!

Here's a video of some older dogs. All pets, neutered, one from pet store, one a rescue. All trained by their owner under my supervision. Its not easy, these dogs won't win a national championship in any dog sport no matter who's training them, but makes you wonder why hobbists and amateurs have such a desire to find only negative in a dog that is obviously moving along well in their training.

Feel free to share your negative comments, since I guess that's what people do here that don't really understand what they are looking at. Then please share a video of your killer 7 month old dogs taking on real bad guys...like you are expecting the pup in my video to do. Oh, I forgot, most haven't trained for anything but sport in this thread.

Come visit my club if you want to understand why i train the dogs in control first when they are going to be relied on in real situations without becoming a lawsuit waiting to happen. I pay cash to those willing to test a dog on a real bite.

keep an open mind when training doesn't look exactly like how you would do it.

I don't know much about PP, except I was taught the same thing at Nat K9, that you need to have control over the dog before teaching it bitework. But you guys say it diminishes the drive. I did not like the fact that the baby was in the middle of the room. Thinking he did that though to show his control over the dog. For a 7 month old puppy,I thought the OB was great regarding the distractions. I did notice too that the dog outed on the attackers response and not the handlers out, which I did not care for. I also noted the trainer attended the Tom Rose School for Dog Training which everyone on this forum recommends.Interesting....

When you advertise a video as "guard dog/attack training" one does not expect a "kid's karate class".

If you think people have no "real" dogs in this forum you are mistaken. And if you don't like criticism maybe you shouldn't post your videos... IMHO.
