That's part of the bite course. Your explanation sounds just as exciting. We're looking forward to it.
That one will go as far as a bite without release regardless the circumstances like sticks, knives, etc only in the event someone touches my wife like actually physically lays a hand on her inappropriately or aggressively. Have to be real specific with that training to prevent her from biting someone or something in error.
Bark is before that, another 7 day course. Then she'll be quote legal unquote.
You have dogs? Sorry if you've already said and I forgot. I do that regularly—forget. If so, what kind?
I had a golden retriever / malamute mix I trained just with the sparring part, so nobody could mistreat her or worse. Don't let the breed fool you, she had a natural temper if she felt she was wronged 😂 I got her at seven weeks old, and that night she tried to take my supper away forcefully 🤣🤣🤣 Stable and good with the public though, as she was properly socialized. Unnaturally smart too...
Never. They all have that fight or flight instinct, I don't underestimate any of them.
Retrievers are real bright. I know what you mean by unnaturally. I kept waiting for my last one to talk.
Could she bark or did she inherit the mute part?
She could bark and more - the whole vocal range :) ... Counting, regular bark on command, protective barking on command or if she deemed it appropriate. Even talking, but never a human language 😂
She was fearless, but didn't use aggression lightly. That being said, she wasn't remotely shy or hesitant about it the few times it was called for.
