EARLY SIGN OF HANDLER AGGRESSION OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE? - Page 3

There is only one "leave it" command (do not engage) and one "out" command (disengage) .. they apply everywhere from the living room to tug training to bite work or your neighbor's cat.

Is English your first language?

Did you mean to say " Oh my God, are you guys serious? Get out of the dog world! sorry."

How does your statement make sense?

or did you just smoked a blunt?

Here's my two cents worth from the view of a K9 handler and not a sport handler. I know sometimes K9 handlers do both but I only train for police work. First off, some bloodlines produce hard dogs but that doesn't make them handler aggressive. A true hard dog has a lower threshold for a handlers perceived unfair or unwarranted correction. My previous partner a Malinois, would nip at my hand if he thought I corrected him unfairly but he never chewed me up. We train with an officer who has been stitched up several times because his dog was truly handler aggressive, he went off several times without provocation.

Secondly, it sounds like the pup is just frustrated, they are waiting too long to give him the bite. He's 5 months old not 4 years old. Think of it as if you were waiting all day to get home to drink a beer and every body stops you on the way into your house to ask you questions... eventually you're going to get snippy after awhile. Same rules apply here.

Personally, I'd slip the sleeve to build his confidence with an occasional choke off followed by an immediate decoy run away and put him up frustrated for a little bit. Then bring him back out for another quick session and then slip him the sleeve, he'll be strutting around like King Tut.

Finally sounds like the handler is more inexperienced then he leads on to. We refer to those as 2 and 22 kids. Which is 2 years experience acts like he has 22 years experience.

Just my opinion.

My opinion, there is a issue with the relationship between the handler and the pup. There are a million small things we cannot see over the internet pertaining to their relationship, but five month old puppy should not show handler aggression and if it is it needs to be handled very carefully because if not it will get much worse.

If this dog/handler were training with me, the puppy would just be trained prey/game/sleeve slip for now until that relationship is better and I would figure out how to address whatever it is going on between the handler and the dog. And if I couldn't, I would recommend someone who could. Maybe its just GSD ownership basics that would be bew to a new young handler.

Way to stay Klassy, Mithuna.

By smoking a blunt?

No your lack of class was shown when you made fun of another person for whom English may not to be their first language.

Also against the T.O.S. of the site.

did not make fun....but the post made no grammatical sense.

you need a dog, a handler, and a helper to train grip work. The helper should have the insight to load the dog, release the drive correctly, and manage a handler's behavior.; '' as a twig is bent, so grows the tree'' who said that?
