    Temperament is something that develops as a dog matures mentally , it's not static in a pup Unless I would guess she exhibits a sort of behaviour in some environment you feel is not acceptable for you Best of luck for the pup

    Trump Under Fire

    Casso replied to kanny's topic in General Talk

    Whatever side your on or whatever your politics , he's beginning to stink the place out But did anyone really expect Trump to be squeaky clean, I can live with not liking him personally or his politics but Jesus wept the dogs on the street can see he's slowly cracking , he's all over the f***ing place he's way to brittle for that position

    An over stimulated pup has to respond to how it feels and it's first point of call is to grab something , At that age, its a phase it's going through but effort can be put into reducing the source of stimulation, inside calm , outside play, always Don't be fussing/ playing in the home , it shouldn't be felt to be a play area for the pup, Dogs make associations between different environment due to how it makes them feel which means that if the pup has a history of f***ing about in the house when he walks back into the same area he becomes stimulated through physical memory/ he feel

    All the dog lacks is a bit of experience bud, Never been able to teach a dog to hunt better than it's own innate hard wired ability

    Superb analyzation. That's exactly how my old dog was. But you explained it FAR better than I could have! Lol ?

    When a dog is worked it learns to contrast between prey animals Prey animals that offer more resistance to subdue are often placed higher in a dogs choice for prey making The humble rabbit can be frustrating for a higher drive dog, because what it really wants to do is sink its teeth in and shake it and the rabbit wont evoke the feeling when it learns to contrast On the other hand bigger prey can have the right balance which a dog needs to truly fulfill its predator role and feel real flow because it offers more resistance to overcome, thereby the dog needs to put more energy int

    Have ya got it in a crate or kennel or anything ?? How do ya manage it

    Very good Two dogs together become equal and opposite of each other, easier for dogs to live together that way , Mother Nature chooses social first, genetic comes second

    Give us a for instance bud , aggression can be a blocked attraction , put it this way, a pup has to act when stimulated , it can't not do something, it normally plays out that when stimulated there's a lot of jumping round , shaking off,grabbing , chewing on , you know yourself , basically the energy caused by stimulation has to go into some sort of canine behaviour , normal shit When a dog is corrected too much , confined , approached by something strange, it feels resistance but it also feels stimulated but it can't make a normal connection do all the normally doggy stuff of shaki

    What I'm ultimately talking about is focusing a dogs prey Instinct on its owner Every dog is interpreting the world through its prey instinct anyway, what where and how do I make prey is second to none for a working dog We have been tuning dog instincts into whatever we wish for a very long time and no other animal will respond like the dog even our closest relative the chimp would rather rip your arm off than follow where your pointing it , The main issue I pick up from threads like this is that you have to enforce yourself on the dog as if his wild side is not quashed he will

    When you say you use force mickey , what exactly do you mean , to train or install fear? I use a correction to redirect when more mature but even that correction has been primed to induce a certain mindset in the dog An example of it is a pop on the long line the dog has on while out , he knows the chuck on the line correction means something good is following it changes his mindset and tunes him in My reading of the dog is the more domance based you make the training the longer it takes the effing dog to truly tune into you I don't want to spend my time stopping the dog

    That's an amazing bit of footage, he had no way of ever succeeding there he looked emaciated and weak but was still attracted to the buffalo , the power of hunger eh

    The big thing for me with bringing up a pup is to build trust and manage him so I don't have to correct him, Most of the traditional methods work but I want his prey instinct focused on me first , I don't introduce him to prey until I have a good handle on him first Building trust is a first priority and you can't build that if I have to keep correcting him for showing interest in other things so I manage him so he can't f**k up Put it this when a dog is energised hes expressing predator energy, energy in every case can only flow from the predator to the prey, not the other way rou

    Gameness is only a marking point of an extreme drive to make contact , the word Drive is misleading in itself. A highly driven dog is still only trying to make contact same as any pup when it is stimulated it grabs and shakes it out, it's a huge emotional stimulation that needs addressing , Pain is just information to a dog the bigger the heart the less effect it has under duress Dogs are trained to accept pain as part and parcel of the feel good process of making contact in protection work but give it a slap when sitting laying up at home and you'll have a different effect on the
  18. Casso
    For the subject matter of Drive what your really talking about is Heart, How much does the dog want it, in every sense it comes down a willing to make contact with whatever the object of desire may be Funny enough the test of heart is relatively the same in two completely different dogs, with a running dog how much physical difficulty can he overcome and still want to give chase and with the pit is he willing to scratch/ make contact after shipping an amount of physical hardship The simple gesture of movement under duress is what defines heart /gameness / drive

    Animals are creatures of habit , which include certain actions in certain places in their environment , they have a physical memory which informs them how to act when they encounter something, Take them out of their comfort zone and basically they have to write a new script a bit like training hares to escape out of the top of the field in park coursing, physical memory of actions in that field makes for a good course but put them in for the first time and let dogs at them you would get a hare running round in circles , chaos

    Recall is not really your problem , I'd say fear is more the issue Same info to anyone , throw away the bowl and feed all food by hand up close and personal in your space , don't crowd let the mutt make all the moves , keep on long line while out , it saves worrying about recall and prevents the dog fecking off , Don't worry about petting or praise , tt can actually have the reverse effect , they both stimulate but if the dog has no avenue for to express stimulation it just gets stored as fear , If every time the mutt comes to you of its own doing and you feed it , that's all
  21. Casso
    That's an interesting point you make about the collie pit/greyhound comparison My reading of their possible interaction with sheep goes along the lines of , at which point do instincts kick in for each canine, instincts kick in when social breaks down which is the same as a dog being overwhelmed by stimulation but instead of the collie breaking down into instinctive reactions he can take his drive to the next level and can hold both handler and sheep in the same frame of mind He can take direction while in a highly emotion state , whereas most other breeds crash in such a charged

    Crufts 2017.

    Casso replied to stealthy1's topic in General Talk

    Watched a bit of the fly ball comp, mix of breeds and cross breeds involved which was good to see that it's not only collie types I don't believe there handlers have any more insight into dogs then most lurcher men but they have a working bond predicted on prey making and when you control what the dog believes is prey , you control the dog

    That's s great backdrop in the second last pic , fine lookin dog , what's in the mix ?
