Let me preface this, the vast majority of people won't recognize what they're looking at, prey drive, aggression, defense etc. But to the people that know, they'll appreciate this.
This is Shelby she's a tightly line bred Doberman who's 20 months old. Her previous owner got really sick and was unable to train her for 17 months. Ultimately she said, "This isn't fair for the dog". And I ended up getting her since I train with the breeder and they know I'm going to give her love and affection and bring her to training every week as I do my male Enzo.
This was from yesterday. Keep in mind, she's had very little training at all. Right now the sleeve represents prey, a rabbit or a squirrel and she wants it because that's the drive she's in, so when she barked before and the sleeve i.e. rabbit was on the ground it moved. So barking makes the prey move. The purpose of the whip is for noise and helps to transition into aggression.
I could go on and on about this stuff, Midnight Rambler knows what I'm talking about. It's just really nice to see a dog with such high genetics get a chance and PROVE that when it comes to working dogs it's all genetics and the way you treat the dog. Also 99% of the dogs out there couldn't take this kind of pressure and this is just the beginning
