what so good about a calm full grip?? - Page 4

Bob, your 2 year old, Tom Cruise, looks BAD ACE with the pink lead and bite pillow!

Chaz:

           He was a year old then and I like pink and it match,s my thong !! hahaha I need to get some newer pics and video,s
     

vk, why not get in a suit, put on a sleeve and work a few thousand dogs.  Then get back to us with your skepticism.  There are plenty of crappy dogs out there that look better than they are because of training in a sport.  There are plenty of "real" dogs that have come out to a sport club and been run off by a simple hold and bark  But I highly doubt either of the 2 dogs in the videos in this thread would do anything other bite harder.  That's what strong dogs do.  There is a lot to be said about the gripping behavior of dogs and how the dog acts in all sorts of non biting situations as well.  It doesn't take long to feel the difference and see it between dogs that bite full and hard and desire to do that over dogs that don't.

 

I trust that  a statement  made here is not the simple truth. A person should judge it for its own merit. The fault finding in individual sport clubs is not grounds for dismissing the entire sport. ie Seeing helpers hit dogs in the legs to keep their feet off of the helper in the drive work. I tell any helper working my dogs not to do it [ with respect for the helper]. I have seen sophisticated training which employs this technique and then the unsophisticated imitate. I do not like this technique but  I have seen it done for good reasons.        Bad judges! I would not trial my dogs under certain judges. I pick a club trial for many reasons, one of which is the judge. There are certain judges which will never be allowed to pass judgement on my dog. There are far more that give insight into the ''being'' of the GSD and do a great job. Once again it takes involvement to see and know. Picking one aspect to find fault in the entire sport is folly. '' I hate dogs that track with a deep nose, what if they fell off of a cliff? ''

No thong pics, but he did look young, and that pillow is a great tool.

Chaz:

      Yes that short arm pillow is Great! Ismael Devos came over from Belgium for a seminar for us he use,s it extensively in the work.How can I prove my color coordination if your not prepared to see first hand?  

Keith:
