When playing with pups and acting like you want to take rug away from him/her you act really weak and concerned that he/she might bite you (yea right, like those milk teeth don't hurt <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />, so there is not that much pressure on pup. Just to get him an idea of guarding.
Some dogs have natural possessiveness, and guard (attack you, chase you off and quickly return to item) and some really do not know what you are doing and want to play with you (with those dogs you must wait).
There is no object guard excercise in SchH/IPO but is in many other sports and that might be the reason why SchH clubs are not concerned with guarding.
And as for civil re agitation (when dog has won the sleeve); i think that is all another story and that should be done only later in training.
i think that some people would argue that if the dog is mature enough and sound enough to handle it, the re agitation and civil work ccan really help develop the fight drive in a dog and get him used to 'playing aggressively' for his prey i think that armin winkler talks about the development of fight drives using things like a bite suit as well, he says it can be developed just like 'prey' or 'defense' can. seems like it could make your dog even more spirited in protection.
