******Quote from group 1 Temp
Responsible owners do
not allow their dog to become an uncontrolled menace of society. Responsible owners
also encourage their dog to learn the difference between true threats and “normal” things
in the world around them. I teach my dogs “that*s enough” command, which basically
gives the dog a chance to “warn” me of something the dog sees as a threat and alert
(growl , bark, etc) but once I say “that*s enough” I expect the dog to settle down. In this
situation, I have determined that I do not see the situation as a threat, even if the dog
may alert. I expect the dog to respond to my training and settle down. ********
So what do people think about this statement at the end of the group 1 temp? To me the dog in the video showed this type of temp, did not go seeking pets and listened to the owner. Im not saying the temp should be toned down , not at all but it can be harnessed , if i dont say anything to my dogs they keep at what ever they are pissed at as soon as i tell them to stop they comply , it takes a few mins but they do settle. So i was also wondering what are peoples view on obedience training seeing these are "dogs" what makes it any different for this breed then any other breed? And like i said before i do not socialize my dogs around people, they are only around and in close contact when you come into my yard and home, and i take my dogs everywhere but they are never around people when i take them out. Like Chuck said when most peoples filas come into temp they lock them up and never do anything with them because they cant handle them and then everything becomes a threat to them. And i also believe that the more bonded you are with your fila the more the dog wants to please you and it makes them very easy to train.
