I figured they'd be indifferent to strangers messing with eachother. Anyone have an explanation for someone to whom this comes as a complete surprise? Or is it just one of those things...?

Richard Cannon Webboard User Reg: 07-17-2001 Posts: 1496 Loc: Offline	It is a function of the general protectiveness. Every protection dog I have ever had has done this. They are much stronger in their own territory than away from there home. The better trained the dog the less likly that it will overeact to the situation. They tend to push the parties apart, unless someone is really getting hurt. If you can't be a Good Example,then You'll just have to Serve as a Horrible Warning. Catherine Aird.

Robert VanCamp Webboard User Reg: 11-28-2001 Posts: 3916 Loc: Offline	Good protective breeds are basically anti-violence, it ticks them off. Situations of conflict stimulate all those great protective instincts that we breed them for. Just because the dog doesn't know those people he still recognizes aggressive behavior and it tickles his instincts into a reaction. He doesn't have to know them personally. Like Richard mentioned, that is why protection training is such a positive experience for protection breeds. You give them a framework of understanding. "Oh, this is what is going on. I know how to deal with this."
