Another post in another thread reminded me of a question I've had for a while.
I have met a number of people in my neighborhood who have working breed dogs with protection training. Every single one of them says that as a secondary purpose, they do the training to have better ability to control the dog's natural aggression.
Is there truth to this?
I am not considering protection training or bite work. I'm just curious.
Maybe this is what they mean.
If the dog does protection work you can see his drives. You may see defense drive what the normal pet owner may never experiences. Therefore you know the dogs’ ability and strength. You learn how to deal with this kind of behavior.
I remember a guy who bought a GSD (Schh1) from Germany who visited our club to see what we are doing. He did not even know what Schh1 stands for.
So we showed him the obedience work and he was surprised that his dog can do this. When we did Schutzdienst and his dog did what he learned to do this guy was shocked. He had this dog a few months already and he said that he had no clue that his dog can be so ‘aggressive’. He was somehow helpless and looked to us like ‘help, what shall I do?’
He never came back again. If I remember right a few weeks later he put up this dog for sale.
