The obstacle Course was exercise for the dog and a chance to develop trust and confidence in the handler

Off Leash Attack Training Conducted with the decoy wearing a very heavy, thickly padded suit. The suit did not protect the feet or the head if the dog knocked the decoy over. The attack suit sometimes conditioned the dogs to attacking only someone wearing a thick and bulky suit. On several cases dogs that seemed to be aggressive failed to bite human intruders. The dogs then received training wearing a special attack muzzle. This muzzle was tighter and more secure than the normal basket muzzle used during transportation and vet exams. The dogs were released on a unprotected decoy to see if they would actually attempt to attack. It would be a heart stopper for the decoy when a dog stopped and attempted to remove the muzzle. |
