Hey Adi,
Gard was the one who brought up the ground fighting scenario originally, perhaps he has some insight. I'm not sure why the dog targets the guy on the ground. We even did it from a standing position and the decoy knocked the handler down and he remained standing. The dogs were in the car and naturally they were watching the altercation. When we hit the door popper they all went for the handler on the ground, some were easier to redirect than others onto the decoy. Mine was not one of the easy ones.
We did a big demo for the a Mayor's Youth day one year and all of the city officials were there and our PD's top brass and a lot of citizens. The demo ended with a muzzle fight with me being the decoy. The handler and I had a verbal altercation and I threatened the handler and he popped the door to release the dog without telling me. The dog was muzzled and came flying from the car, a little miscommunication and I didn't hit the handler. So the handler pushed / hit me and moved away really quickly, the dog targeted him and "cup checked" him pretty hard before engaging me. Well, needless to say the handler thought I did it on purpose. I thought it was pretty funny to watch the handler fend off his mali.

Jerry, thanks. I
f I could, I'd be following the man like some kind of a groupie following the rock band, from what I have been hearing about him for years.
However, he will be in my town in about 3 or 4 months and I'll make sure I spend my time with him wisely and not waste any of it.

The lights are finally bright enough for many people to see.
Gene has been doing table seminars since 1991, when he invented them. Although many have attended Gene’s recent seminars, you’ll never know what you missed …. In the old days, Gene put on 5 or 6 day classes CONSTANTLY. The level of teaching and learning was – in one word – superlative. A 2 or 3 day seminar is a good start, but literally spending weeks with Gene illustrates an awesome amount of progress with both the dogs and handlers - which simply can’t happen in one weekend. I know this, because I lived it.
Here, I read messages – and not even one negative word about Gene, tables, or the progress made. Finally, some of the world is learning the truth. Finally, the lights are on.
Some messages contain reference to “TOTO” or “turn on-turn off”. I’ve written pages about this basic technique, and put videos online to show how well it works. But ALL credit goes to Gene – I was the lucky one. I trained with Gene as much as I wanted to, from 1983 until the late 1990s. Most of what I know comes from Gene, although I adapted some specific exercises to fit my own limitations.
The fortunate people who attended Gene’s NY and/or GA seminars now have honest knowledge. Foolish internet messages can never change what you’ve been lucky enough to see and/or do with Gene England and tables. Nothing can ever convince you that you didn’t see for yourself.
As many know, Gene has slowed down considerably in the past 10 years. My advice to one and all is, “get it while you can”, because Gene’s not getting any younger.
I’m also very flattered: the tables used at Gene’s Atlanta K9 seminar used to belong to me. He was extremely impressed with the tables. This certainly made me feel good, because a small part of me is still training dogs.
