Table Training In Protection Work Why I Don't Agree With It It is 100% WRONG !!! By In recent years more and more people are table training in bite work. I am not a fan of this method of protection training. It is not only bad dog training it is also morally wrong. Let's take a minute and explain exactly how table training works. Two tables are used. A three foot square table at waist-height and a shorter, larger round table closer to the floor. The dog is chained to the taller table by a short chain attached to a swivel that turns 360 degrees. When pit bull dog pictures information about dog breed moved to the short table, the length of chain is increased. The tall table is used for the beginning work and the short table used for the control work. Table training is founded in survival drive. Survival is the wrong way to train protection dogs. When a dog is placed up on a table and attached to a very short chain it quickly realizes that all avenues of escape have been removed. Initially the helper stresses the dog and demands attention and aggression. If the dog turns his back on the helper or does not act aggressive enough the level of stress is increased until information about dog breed information about dog breed the dog is brought into fight. The dog quickly learns that if I don't show aggression I get the crap scared out of me and the safest place to be is on the sleeve. What people don't understand here is that the "fight drive" that they see in this work is coming totally from the "fight or flight" in avoidance. It does not come from the fight drive that I refer to that is built as a result of a confident foundation started and built through early prey work. If you are confused on the issue of fight drive read my article titled The Definition siberian huskies puppies for sale information about dog breed of Fight Drive. I had a friend tell me of a Doberman he saw go through its first experience on the table. The dog had questionable nerves to begin with and probably could never do sport work. It was so scared and upset that it lost control of its bowels and bladder while the helper tried working it. As far as I am concerned this type of training is morally wrong. We have no right to stress a dog so badly that it loses control of its bowels. If a person needs a protection dog this badly he should find a home for his weak dog illness information about dog breed dog and
