I've just watched a training exercise where a dummy was used at first, the dogs is sent out one at a time to attack the dummy, just sitting there or hanging.
The same dogs are sent out one at a time again this time to apprehend a real decoy just siting or standing, they respond almost the same. Attacking the decoy with more vigor then they do the dummy.
Is this a form of fight drive or is this an example of channeling prey drive?? Its not defense drive because the dog is not being threaten. Who can clear this up? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
I don't really know in fight drive I always thought it mixed prey and defense? In prey the the dog is relaxed sorta and having fun. In defense the dog can be hackled up, can be growling before and after the bite, there is some thrashing.
The way they took off to get the bite it looked like prey drive, fast and hard hits. Usually knocking the decoy or dummy down, but then on the bite went from the leg to the arm to the stomach, back to the arm when stuck growling and pulling it looked like a fight, dummy or decoy.
It was all so fast and exciting to see, that I would have to video it to define the changes. I'm layman as you all know. What do you think?
