Yep. My question, for you, is still, why would it set my dog back, in her training for Schutzhund and Protection, if someone stepped on her foot?
Also, what issue are you having with your agitation work? Perhaps I can help?

I stepped on my dogs feet trying to cradle him and for the next couple of weeks I was a distraction everytime I was next to him. He had his foot stepped on once when he was being driven but maybe because he's a mature dog it didnt have an effect but if he was a puppy your trying to build confidence in I can imagine the time you would have to spend getting him to engage again would be a huge setback.

Sure, it's distracting to the dog if it happens during actual drive work. But there's a bigger issue:
If someone steps on my dog's foot, what effect will that have on her Schutzhund or Protection work?

sarah ,to answer your question most agressive dogs,in my opinion, dont hesitate and will just react ,high confidence, we actualy have taken in other dogs that have been banned from other places, so what people call "aggressive" can be a dog barking too much growling, playing too ruff, ect. its funny peoples take on certain dog behavior.its something i have to see, my dogs make the ultimate descision, i read my dogs, unfortuantly there can be only one alpha if a dog doesnt accept my dogs as alpha, i will stand in and control my dogs, safty is number one, but ill let the dog know what he can and cant do.
Michael, I'm going to leave aside your definition of an aggressive dog as one that (in your words) "doesn't hesitate and will just react, high confidence". I agree that many people mislabel aggression, but I also think your definition is off. But maybe that's a topic for yet another thread.
The thing that worries me here is that your day care dogs must all accept your dogs (who are loose on their own territory) as alpha, and that you identify problem dogs only after they have gotten into it with your own dogs? Do I have this right?

Janice ,to tell you the truth, alot of people have switched to boarding here, cause our boarding dogs are out all day with the daycare dogs. hows that for another bomb. and your right, before my sister and I started this business, i only kept my dog with her when i would travel, but our clients keep there dogs with us cause they trust us and see how we work, most of the boarding dogs are daycare dogs anyway.
That's good for your business and it says a lot about the quality of your care, and that is also a very good thing. And you are providing a valuable service to people who want their dogs to socialize with other dogs, and that's also a good thing.
However, I still would not leave my dogs where they would mix into a big group of dogs. This is my preference, that's all. And a large percentage of the people on this website feel pretty much the same. They don't want their dogs to be aggressive to other dogs, but they don't want them socializing with a strange "pack", either.

Ok, Michaels not going to answer so lets talk about it Alyssa. What other setbacks could you have and what would they be with different dogs?

Alyssa, I don't do protection work or Schutzhund, and I am dying to know. Would you pm me the answer? I would guess it would either lower his willingness to engage by lowering his trust in you as his handler, or bring on handler aggression, maybe.

I'm sure it can affect the bite, the way they they would approach, bark and hold, just about anything. But is there one specific you are looking for Alyssa?
