I am going to sound ignorant but can you explain to me what I am seeing? I don't know anything about the sport but I love to learn more. In this video he is following the object and grabbing the object and hanging on......I think it is great but what exactly are you training for?

Again, I apologize if I sound stupid but I was thinking that IPO was a protection sport but what I am seeing in the video, the dog is not attempting to go after the person and is friendly towards him so what are you training for in this particular video?

This is an eval because I changed trainers... but protection sport is funny because the dog is in prey (play) drive for nearly everything in IPO...this is why mastiffs tend to do poorly in prot sports... they are too high in defense and to low in prey drive therefore repeated reps stress them out mentally..plus defense really is a very flawed drive based on fear and when pushed most high defense low prey dogs will leave you ... IPO is a test of a balanced dog...and believe it or not he's staring Kronos down and putting his hand over his face that adds some pressure ....95% of mastiffs would not have passed that eval...

Thanks for explaining. I just wasn't sure what it was that you were working on. He is a really good looking dog.
