The Main Reasons Why Dogs Do Not Out

Yet again, I was told that a dog is not biddable because a professional handler of 10 years could not out him blaming it in linebreeding on Troll. I do not put much emphasis on handler experience as far as time span goes. If I may, let me say this. Some dogs are prey-oriented, and some are more defense-oriented. If you teach the dog to out in the wrong drive, then he will not or may not out. Also, just about all LE dogs these days are trained based on sportism, which is prey-based training. When such a dog is then on the street and gets stressed out by combative perp, then he will flip into defense and will not out because his out was trained in prey. Also, a dog who is genetically mostly defense-driven in a high level on a scale 1-10, somewhere 7-8 and above, will naturally go into defense on the street or when under stress. If such a dog is trained to out in prey drive, then he will not out.

Super prey-driven dog on absolute sale of 1-10 when above seven may or so, will not or may not out due to high possessiveness. That is caused by faulty training in sportism where the dog works for himself and not for the handler. In a true working dog's possessiveness is extremely important for the working dog, and it is these days being eliminated through selective breeding, which makes me puke, because trainers are stuck on stupid and do not know how to deal with it. This not a fault of a dog but that of an inadequate trainer. This is not an issue of faulty biddability which such inadequacies of trainers are blamed on.

Max v. Stephanitz, who wanted dogs to be "tractable" = biddable probably even in his wildest dreams, did not foresee the ignorance of present trainers.
