oh forgot, he's mostly prey right now, very easy to switch to defense. Will wait til he matures before that. I just got a female that we're going to have to work on that works pretty much strictly in defense. That drive is alot higher than prey. She gets the sleeve, carries a few feet, drops it on the ground and tries to go after the helper. This one should be interesting to fix!

Did anybody of you 'Helper and third person correction' people think about real life situatations? Do you want your dog be impressed or intimitated by the bad guy? I think you have to set priority. Sport or Protection!!
Yes I have thought about it. I have also thought about my dog LISTENING to ME and getting control over when he is allowed to bite and when he is not. I do not want some out of control dog running around thinking it's ok to bite whenever he feels like it. And yes he will go after ANYONE. His favorite spot, the face.

Kevin Sheldahl uses helper corrections on police service dogs. . .and they bite for real. Little different technique as I understand it, but helper corrections no less.
Oh, and SchHFan, you need to change your displayed name to your real name.
In the bark and hold in a schutzhund trial, if the dog jumps equal to the helper's face, like Okar Karthago did, does this mean the dog is more "serious", or something else? I remember seeing Itor on last year's Police Nationals tape do this as well...Is this behaviour trained, or does the dog just do it naturally?

This behavior is naturaly. It's genetic. I've seen it in dogs who's offspring showed the same behavior. The same thing, I believe, is the grip. There are pups with a firm solid grip at the age of 8 weeks and they show this grip also when they are 2 years.
