Professional Dog Training - Attack

Exercises at sudden and prepared attack

Attack comes in two types: sudden and prepared. One always starts with a sudden attack, when the trainer is hiding behind a blind. The owner goes to the ground, leading the dog on a leash, walks a little, and then approaches the blind. When the blind is about 20 meters far, the trainer jumps out of it and makes threatening gestures.

The owner gives the command "Forward!" and runs with his dog toward the trainer. He may like to release the dog or keep it on a leash at that. If the dog does not show fear and runs toward the trainer with determination, it is better to release the dog from the leash since the first class, so that the dog does not rely on the owner's support having contact with him through the leash. The handler gives the sleeve to the dog, and it receives encouragement from the owner after a short struggle which includes a few blows with a stick.

From class to class the owner must keep the dog on increasing distance and finally to stand still at the moment when the trainer appears from behind the cover, thus giving the dog the opportunity to pursue him on his own. The next step is a so-called prepared attack, when the dog without a leash is standing next to its owner, and the handler, being at a distance, makes several threatening gestures. Then he flees.
The owner lets the dog chase the handler. After a few meters, the handler turns and runs toward the animal. The dog, as always, wins the fight and receives a sleeve as a reward. The final stage of training before moving on to a combination of protection and obedience is exploration. The dog must learn to examine the shelter searching the trainer and, after founding him to bark, performing attack only when he poses hazard to for a dog or attempts to escape.

The exercise begins when the trainer takes a threatening posture, while the dog and the owner are outside. Then, the owner takes the dog to a place where it can no longer see the trainer, while the latter, without going behind the blind, goes beyond the ground on the opposite side. The dog and the owner return to the ground. The dog is confident that the trainer is exactly here. The owner gives the dog a command "Search!" and runs with the dog to the nearest blind, pointing the direction. The dog, of course, can not find a trainer.
Then the owner beckons it to him and again he gives the command "Search!" and sends it to the second blind. After several unsuccessful attempts the owner comes with his dog to one of the blinds, as though trying to help Dog Attack Training Search Behind Shelter it to examine it. In fact, he does so in order to prevent a dog from seeing the handler that at this point returns to the area and hides behind a blind. Without releasing the dog off the leash, the owner once again gives it the command "Search" and directs it to the blind, behind which the trainer is now hiding.
He takes a completely neutral position. The owner gives the command "Voice!". If the dog tries to bite the trainer, the owner holds it, pulling on the leash, and, if necessary, even pulling back strongly. If the dog starts barking, it gets praise and reward. A dog can attack the trainer only in case he tries to escape or shows aggressive intentions. It is advisable to practice it at the following exercises so that the dog does not forget about his mission.
 
 
During the further training the dog learns to respond adequately to various actions of the handler, learning the following rules. If the handler is still behind shelter, it is necessary only to bark. If the trainer starts to move without making threatening gestures, the dog should become alert. If the trainer takes a threatening posture and tries to escape, he must be attacked. At this level it is necessary to begin combining exercises for general obedience with protection exercises.
The most important thing here is to teach the dog to perform a command "Leave it!", which is particularly difficult for fighting dogs. The dog must leave the sleeve when the handler stops fighting and freezes. In some cases, the dog opens its jaws automatically while hearing the command "Leave it!" because of the habit acquired during exercises with apportable items. In most cases, however, the instinct to fight is stronger, then the owner must pull strong on the leash so that the dog loosens its grip.

Other exercises that are performed during the working exam are exercises for vigilance during the search of the detainee and his subsequent conveyance. It is an exercise of obedience that the dog must have learned to perform perfectly, namely the subordinate command "Down!" and walking without a leash. However, in the presence of a man playing the role of offender these exercises are difficult for the dog, because it is excited and would prefer to bite, instead of obeying the owner. However, in this situation time and patience will inevitably give excellent results.
