Don't think you should work pups in DEFENSE DRIVE.
You will only end up pushing them into Avoidance.
CIVIL DRIVE be can seen in very young pups, nature desire to dominate.
Basic aggressive PLAY with litter mates and toys.

Deejays owner,
It seems to be a case of mistaken termonology. The phrase used was "build" instead of enhance, motivate, encourage, or bring to its full potential. I think most on here (I think) know that drives are genetic. Every dog is born with a degree of potential in all drives, some much higher than others. The key is to bring out the best in each dog, bring the dog up to his full potential, or avoid depriving the dog of reaching his full potential. We can never take a dog beyond what his genetic makeup will allow, but we certainly can prevent him from reaching his potential. This latter neglect is what I believe the poster Bobby, was alluding to, or how they can enhance the dogs natural drives. I am refering to the prey drive part of the question.

I think she was answering my question olskool. I agree with not working a pup in defense, however, you can lock a dog in prey if that is all you use, - , back to fight drive. How does one enhance fight drive?
I'm going to get that book you refer to Held. Thanks!
