Hey Butch,

So would you say that a former Police Dog trainer would probably be rounded enough to be able to work a dog in both prey and defensive drives? Your statement above led me to ask the question. The fellow that will be testing Hermionee and Ozzy is just that and he's already seen Hermionee so the fact that she operates on defense is known...because of that I'm assuming that he'll be capable in working on both drives etc... He's quite an accomplished trainer with dogs working in the field so I'm looking forward to seeing how he'll test my own dogs.

How would you recommend someone test a 36" Great Dane...? Will tying the dog, like staking the dog be an improper method...? What would you do in that situation I guess would be a better question to ask.

Feel free to mail me if you want to not clutter the boards answering my silly questions.

Sara
