If you have a strong dog, a dominant dog, or a dog with powerful instincts, you will achieve a positive result in three cases!: Not today. Not tomorrow. Never. Positive trainers use this populist marketing theory to destroy working and strong dogs. Around the world, we see bans on training tools, breed restrictions, and bans on protection work. Comments about working dogs, procedures, sports, and treats are made by trainers who know nothing about these subjects. Working with these dogs cannot be replaced by any theory. Training family dogs with low drive is completely different from training working dogs. Let’s stop this pleasant populist mainstream marketing. We must protect working dogs, sports, and training tools.

Positive training is a super-motivational method that works great when the dog wants to obey. That is, when the reward from the owner is more interesting than the surrounding environment. However, it does not prepare the dog for situations when it doesn't want to obey a familiar command. This happens when the environment is more enticing than the handler and their rewards (like aggression, hunting, protection, etc.). Positive trainers have a theoretical solution for such situations. The environment is too distracting and difficult, so you need to train in simpler situations and gradually move to more challenging ones until you achieve the desired result.

Do not take the dog out into the field, do not let it disobey and pull you toward the prey. This can only be done with weak dogs! With strong dogs, they should only be allowed to bite through obedience and contact with the owner. How many great dogs have been discarded due to such training imbalances that led to biting the owner and an inability to control this behavior?! It ends with the diagnosis - the dog is an idiot, biting the owner because the nerves are weak... But if you think about it, who did this? But no, why think? The dog is "not like that." Let’s get another one and do the same. And round and round we go... It’s sad that people can’t draw the right conclusions, and the dog is to blame for everything...

And if it’s a weak dog, it’s not a problem; it doesn't really want to bite anyway :) and yes, it needs to be taught in a way that raises its interest, which it wasn't born with. BUT with strong dogs, which naturally have "steam coming out of their nostrils" when they see an opponent or prey, this approach will inevitably lead to conflict with the owner (the one who initially encouraged all of this and then started yanking, choking, and shocking). Where does the redirection to the owner and the nipping come from, you ask? Well, you did it yourself with your clumsy little hands guided by a shrimp brain... What to do? TEACH PROPERLY Do not let it come to conflict while maintaining a balance between the desire to bite and the ability to hear and listen to the owner. Do this gradually, understanding where such an approach will lead. It’s so simple.

Yesterday, I held a "Q&A" webinar. 3.5 hours flew by in the blink of an eye. One of the main topics was controlling the dog in protection work. Among the other pressing questions was the redirection of aggression towards the owner and what to do about it? The main point is that before putting the dog into a strong drive, unleashing the wild energy of the element, teach it to listen to and hear you! How often do they first teach a puppy to bite without regard for the owner, "maximizing potential" by putting it into an unmanageable state where it wants nothing more than to chase and seize the prey at any cost? And only later, with the help of corrections (choke chain, slip lead, electric collar), do they try to bring this behavior under control? Yes, it happens all the time!

The dogs with the learned helplessness, however, whimpered, ran around the box, and then lay down on the floor, enduring the increasingly strong electric shocks. A living creature becomes helpless when it gets used to the idea that its actions cannot affect the situation, that unpleasant things will happen no matter what. This concept extends to humans as well.

“…The first group had the ability to avoid the shocks. By pressing a panel with their noses, they could stop the system from delivering shocks. Thus, they could control the situation. The second group received the same shocks but couldn’t influence the outcome. The shocks stopped only when the dogs from the first group pressed the panel. The third group received no shocks at all.” [Seligman, 1977] So, two groups of dogs experienced the same shocks for the same duration. The only difference was that one group could stop the unpleasant stimulus, while the other group could not, and they learned the futility of their attempts. The third group served as a control group. After this "training," all three groups were placed in a box with a divider they could easily jump over to avoid the shocks. The dogs that could previously control the shocks quickly jumped over the barrier. The control group also easily jumped over the barrier.

The idea of the experiment was to condition dogs to associate a high-pitched sound with fear. After hearing a loud sound, the dogs would receive mild but noticeable electric shocks. The expectation was that over time, the dogs would react to the sound as they did to the electric shock—by jumping out of the box and fleeing. However, the dogs didn’t behave this way! Instead of taking the simplest action (jumping out of the box), they lay down on the floor and whined, making no attempt to avoid the discomfort. Seligman theorized that this behavior could be because the dogs lacked the physical ability to avoid the shocks during the experiment—they had become accustomed to the inescapability of the shocks and learned helplessness.

This article will discuss several fascinating and crucial psychological experiments. They demonstrate that if a person (or even an animal) is deprived of the ability to influence a situation through their actions, over time, the desire to change anything will fade, even when the opportunity to take control reappears. On the other hand, the ability to change a situation, make choices, and take responsibility improves a person's physical and mental state, helps achieve better results, and can even extend life. Therefore, relationships based on power and submission, where an individual cannot control or influence the situation, strip people of their ability to seek solutions independently and lead to a loss of freedom and control, depression, passivity, and a lack of belief in personal agency or the possibility of change, even when such opportunities arise.

I'd like to comment on a statement: "It’s not comfortable keeping dogs with high social aggression in urban settings… I prefer more manageable and balanced dogs, only then I care about their fighting qualities." A dog without social aggression is useless for protection! The author is talking about what I call "softies." A true protection dog must have a natural, healthy level of social aggression; otherwise, it’s not a protection dog, no matter how much you train it. For real protection (not to be confused with sports), social aggression is a must. Without it, a dog can’t act on its own, and protection is exactly that—an independent act (though not out of control). If a dog lacks this, all training will fall apart when faced with new, unexpected factors that even a well-trained dog without a solid core—without social aggression—isn't ready for. It's social aggression, not just love for the owner or a sense of duty, that is the main trigger for real, non-sporting protection.

In the end, the connection is formed: Handler = bad (punishes), Decoy = good (allows biting the sleeve or suit). It’s all upside down… A dog should understand that the handler is its partner, and it depends on the handler whether it gets the sleeve or not. The decoy is just a figure in the field. This work requires brains and patience. If you are counting on a good result, until such a trusting relationship with the dog is established, there is no point in moving on to technical skills. Everything mentioned above has been tested many times in practice. I hope it will help many who deal with protection dogs to avoid mistakes and avoid mass problems, which are very difficult to fix later and at great cost. I wish everyone success in establishing long-term harmonious relationships with their loyal four-legged companions!

Just a few words about protection work in sports. How often, when a dog doesn't obey or doesn’t release the sleeve, do we hear from handlers: “Show her who’s in charge, throw her down,” or “You have to conquer her, otherwise there won’t be any point”? Very often! And what happens as a result? The handler, losing their temper, begins correcting the dog, and this leads to a MASS of problems. First, the strong dog still won’t submit, or if it does, it will take advantage of the first chance to "snap" back. Secondly, the bite and release will suffer. The work will become inconsistent. Thirdly, in the future, there will be a strong distraction to the decoy. And how could it be otherwise? After all, the decoy is the "authority" who gives the punishment! And you need to respect (or even "fear") authority.
