Ninja- I was thinking about the double bark on a GSD and I think you are right about that. I am thinking of all the GSDs I have had or have known and they do that bark bark .....bark bark....lol I know that Dachunds when they want to come on it is a constant bark....as my neighbor has one and when the little bugger wants in it keeps on barking till it is let in. My rotty/heeler mix barks and then pauses...and barks again if he is trying to tell me something....or if I ask "where's Timmy?"lol  If it is at someone outside the house he barks a deeper bark with a grumbble in there. They all have a destinctive sound to their barks. When I was at the training place I could walk through the kennel and know if there were certain breeds by the sound of the bark.....I worked there too long!!! lol

Heck yes, he would have bitten the Decoy.  He was defending "his" truck/territory; when the Decoy came up close to the window, he was defensive big time--especially with that damn stick !   (I would have bitten the Decoy, too !!) 

LAV - yes, the bark of my Yorkie is "constant" when he wants something....never takes a breath in between - HA.

I didn't know he was tied. That makes some sense of why he wasn't coming forward more.

Im not going to speak on Dar as Ive seen him in person with some quick work with JIRI as the decoy/Helper.

However, BeeTree. The car offers some similarity to one piece of the puzzle in table training. But very very different.
 
Also, that is that dogs and laurens SUV. So it brings more territoriality to the mix. Unlike a strange restricted area.

Steve leigh has a good break down to developing a dog on a table. Il hunt for the link so you can read it. Also keep in mind table training is a general term. Table training can be used in any facet of dogs work. Obedience, Protection, upland bird dogs/pointers, retriever work, place work, directional training etc...... So when you use that term I would specify. Also protection work on tables is much different than most think and also is widely misused. So keep it all in context and with a grain of salt.

I think this was a fun thread.  I saw it at work but don't have sound so I missed a lot.  By the time I got home to see it again the answer was already posted so it spoiled it for me.  Still think it was neat and a good idea.  Had us going there.

Sorry Deb...I was hoping a few other people would have said what they thought but others were getting impatient.lol There is the other clip as well.Wondering what Slam and some others think of it. I know my dog....so there are things to comment on about the other clip as well. He is different cause there is a different situation....more of a threat.I think Maggiemae is the only one that said anything about that one so far. Just wondering if someone will point a certain thing out about it.

I did notice that at first he was focusing on the stick, but changed and started focusing on the Decoy.

Now we know what caused it by the second video but in the same setting i.e trees etc it could have been in a wooded area where this happened a dog would react excatly the same way if a small animal that was strange to it took its focus and it would react in a similar way and i am going soley by the first Video we saw, If any think that not true then do it and find out for yourselfs and get someone to video it in that short  clip it could have been happening, But as we know it was something else

Steve- I'm not sure I am understanding what you are saying. In the first video there it was me with a ball and me telling my dog to bark.He got a bit aggrivated cause I didn't give him his ball,he was tied up so he wouldn't come jumping out of the truck for it. The second video was very different as there was someone else aggitaging him in a different way then just with his toy.Both videos were shot in different locations. My dog doesn't bark at birds or little animals...maybe other dogs pasing by or people if I am not there.(As i was told by my friend that walked by my truck)
