Dave,
As in the normal manner of training we always allow the dog to win. The table causes a significantly more amount of stress on the dog, just being off of the ground. However the dog learns to work through the stress, with at first a harsh look or growl, maybe even a bark to repell the helper/decoy. Thats all for that session. Preasure is increased on the dog until he can repell a face to face conflict. The table is a bit like life, you must face the problem for it to go away. Again great care must be taken to read the body language of the dog to know how much is enough preasure. We seldom ever have to touch a dog much less inflict any type of pain. Of course I am talking about the 4ft table in this case.On this table the dog also must be nuetralized by the out/down command and be taught to recognize the body language of the helper/decoy when he is a non-threat. The dog learns to turn on and turn off, on command. Richard
Richard... this sounds very similar to the old Koehler method. My understanding is that prey drive in bitework was not widely used until after about 1979? So trainers used defense right from the beginning.
Do you view the prey bitework foundation approach as an improvement? Why would a table still be needed?
I have a few words for here... But I am being dragged away from "dogs" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
I will say this for now. You can build this segment of defense drive (fear) confidence faster and better then using the table method. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
I will post more later.
A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down. - Robert Benchley
In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog. - Edward Hoagland
