And....NO I wouldn't want to take him on or tempt him....He looks like he knows where humans "squishy" parts are located,and repeatedly tries to, LITERALLY, rip the badguys' heart out!
"FIGHT DRIVE but (in my opinion) coming from the prey side rather than the defense side its stronger. Like the dog has the mindset if a predator (superior) who is mad rather thad a defender (closer to equal) that is mad. "--
--"And as far as defense, If a dog is so strong in his conviction (that he is the predator) that he can not be pushed into defense (with some degree of doubt) but rather only more and more violent FIGHTDRIVE (with complete confidence) I'm quite happy!
PS I don't think a dog has to be in defense to be real.
I respectfully disagree......I'll explain the best way I can.
(superior)==This superior "MINDSET" is what got Mike Tyson knocked out (
the first time)...and also was the un-doing of that dude from germany,who looked like MOE from The Three Stooges with a square mustache!
It is also how you just plain train your dogs......TO ALWAYS WIN! ...RIGHT?..so they feel invincible,secure and SUPERIOR in any situation.however...
Ever hear the phrase "a LITTLE nervousness helps"?......Ever hear the toughest,meanest (honest),FootBall Player ADMIT TO: " HEY,I'd be LYIN' if I said I wasn't a little nervous/scared" before the "BIG GAME"?
IMO..The Unexpected Scenario...with *Defense OF LIFE/PACK *DRIVE as a base...would be the path to get REAL the way i see it.
"especially if the handler is not able to give guidance...such as may be the case during a break in while the owner is at work."
This too....I recognize It IS A PERSONAL PREFERENCE
....but when that "door" comes kickin' in at 3am...Instead of my dog thinking "I know damn well you didn't kick in our door!!,while everyones asleep!!..C'mer you little puny punk! you cant beat me!!...I'm going to open a can o' whoop-ass on ya!"
I'd prefer a mindset of "If I let that guy get in the house...he will rape and pillage..my "people"..and then knock all my teeth out and stick me in a room with 10 Tomcats for revenge on all catdom!"...
.with these "doomsday scenarios" sufficiently rolling in his head....... thru training....he'll be sleeping with a more WICKED eye toward that "door"...determined not to be a victim.
