Of course there will be sport dogs who will bite for real.
Its more about genetiic and the dog have to stay in the fight under high pressure and pain in all circumstances.
You need very good decoys who can do this in prey and defense scenarios testing dogs very
serious this decoys are hard to find. Many dogs will fail with this kind of serious decoys . For real life
you can,t also train every scenario.
99 percent of the youtube videos police/ sport is prey with less pressure because many decoys today
don,t know how to test dogs serious anymore., I like to test dogs hard and serious(and fair) but not only in trained
scenarios also like to suprise the dog how his genetics are.

A couple who trains at our club has a German showline GSD. The other night, they were getting kind of silly, and the husband, who sometimes acts as a helper for the club, whacked his belt on the sofa, pretending he was going to attack his wife. He won't be doing that again anytime soon! The dog nearly ate him!

What I've observed during many years of GSD ownership involving several different dogs is that some of them excel in (and enjoy) parts of Schutzhund training, but it takes a special combination of dog to excel in all parts of it. So long as all parties like the effort put into competition, it's a great thing. The other thing I've observed from my dogs is that we form a bond and part of that bond is their desire to protect me. That enate desire on the part of the dog is one of the things that I so like about the breed. So, my response to the original question is that it's hard to create a full-blown protection scenario in training. Dogs pick up on endorphins and many other subtleties in real life that don't exist in the best training atmosphere. God bless them for that! Regardless of their abilities in the Schutzhund field, I believe and have seen that a balanced dog would naturally protect his pack/owner in a real life situation. I would not expect something undertaken as a game or form of exercise, which I believe Schutzhund to be at heart, to change the core personality of the dog. I think the trick is getting that balanced dog in the first place and nurturing the very traits in them that make us love the breed.

poo poo on those that pay to have their dog titled or buy titled dogs.
