fight drive vs prey drive - Page 1

   I have a seven months old working line girl,she seem very interest in chased  the other dog ,when she saw other dog in fence, she start barking and chased,if she face a tug and a dog ,she definetly chased the dog not the tug or ball,she is tougth,and easy recover from correction,can I transfer the fight drive to prey drive?and how?She still young?
    How many training lesson per week? And how long per lesson?

petoasis...what you may be dealing with is "DOG AGGRESSION" as oppossed to "FIGHT DRIVE", if your bitch is as "HARD" as you described..then maybe it's time for her to become responsible for obedience....heavy socialization in public situations should help also.you may want to shut her down from protection until the "dog aggression" issue is settled.i don't know what your intentions are but if it's schutzhund...then the "BH" is the first order of bussiness...and most other "dog sports " require some type of "temprement evaluation"...if your female is so "sprung" on dog fighting,then that is what should be addressed primarily....there are dogs that display the very same behaviors that you describe,given the opportunity to confront another dog,either its an "all-out fight" or the aggressor submits...(not all,some dogs due to environmental situations and lack of training...i am not telling you to let your bitch loose on another dog...but be sure you know what you're dealing with(nerves or territorial aggression).as far as "how often to train"...daily with this bitch,longs walks and social situations...as for "BITEWORK"..if the work is correct...once a month is fine.if you can get more,great..but be sure the work is correct!!!good luck

Thank you very much for your advise!May I have your e-mail address,I think your advise is better .Is GSD is late mature than Malinois?

What does she do when she catches the dog if he don't attack and just wants to play that is prey drive if she is dog aggressive you do need to fix that by socializing her and train her daily and don't go over 25 35 min for now and make sure you reward her for good behavior and play ball or whatever else makes her happy after you are done so she thinks it is fun

When she caught the other ,she won't fight, but use her body or mouth touch the other dogs,the other issue she has least interest to play with the helper ,seem only like me?
