Ross, I found your first post on this thread rubbed me the wrong way. I commented, but immediately deleted the comment. Maybe I was just in a bad mood.
And I would not now make this comment had you not chosen to make the post immediately preceding this one.
Randy is a knowledgeable authority, regardless of how you (or others, I don't know) may find his manner.
So what would be very useful would be if you ignored each other. There is room for both here!
The thread doesn't need to have a sub-thread de-railing it. Thanks!

I think one of things we have to keep in mind is that what we really are talking about is basicly a bluff.
Not a dog that'll do anything other then give second thoughts.
I like quiet stared focus.
eta,
Remember no matter what the dogs intent, the dog as already done gone silly barking and lunging, alerting to the menace.
Agreed. If someone isn't deterred by the presense of my alert, focused dog I'm running and if that doesn't work at least I have a plan B of dog barking and lunging but I prefer to run away and live to see another day.
Also, my dog is a family companion I feel obligated to protect him; I'm not averse to a bark command but I'd rather leave an uncomfortable environment than see if some fool is held off by a barking dog.

Radar has learned to 'speak' on command within 20 seconds this afternoon. He came up to me, jumped on my lap, and started air snapping to get my attention. I told him to speak, he did, and it was all over from there.
Nothing more un-nerving then a dog that quietly sits and stares at you......just waiting........
Ok, so this is from way back in this thread, but it got me to wondering about something. Is it possible to put a quiet alert on cue?
I think that could be really cool if there is a way to do it. That intense look the dogs get when they first see the prey item. Intense, focused and ready to pounce...
Eta: I meant on topic with the thread of not actualy doing protection training. I have seen dogs with a good "watch em!" Command, but they have always had bite work.

Quiet alert? I don't have any scientific data but I had three that did it automaticaly when somebody gave off bad "vibes" "juju" "karma" or whatever you want to call it. I've seen it done at the club where a trainer thru body language would get the dog to go tail up, mouth shut and focused.
There is a video on youtube that has a lady who's rott has a really cool, super scary, toothy growl on cue. I always wondered how she did that. Its definitely a trick, she's giving him cookies for it in the video. I will see if I can find it and post the link.
