Yesterday, I held a "Q&A" webinar.
3.5 hours flew by in the blink of an eye.
One of the main topics was controlling the dog in protection work. Among the other pressing questions was the redirection of aggression towards the owner and what to do about it?
The main point is that before putting the dog into a strong drive, unleashing the wild energy of the element, teach it to listen to and hear you!
How often do they first teach a puppy to bite without regard for the owner, "maximizing potential" by putting it into an unmanageable state where it wants nothing more than to chase and seize the prey at any cost? And only later, with the help of corrections (choke chain, slip lead, electric collar), do they try to bring this behavior under control?
Yes, it happens all the time!
