What will an IPO/Schutzund dog if the Sleeve is taken out of the picture? - Page 1

Hi

I see it has become common aound the internet to promote sport dogs as the real dog. Do you think this estimation would still remain if the SLEEVE was taken out of the picture?

No insults, only serious and informed opinions.

 

depends on the dog and the way it was raised, there is no one size fits all answer.

Not so much how the dog is raised as trained. Most sport dogs are trained to be 'safe' and only bite the sleeve.

How do you think a " safely " trained IPO dog will react in a real situation  wheres there no sleeve?

In my experience it depends upon two things.

1) The individual dog.

2) How you train.

P.S. When I see posts like this directed at IPO/Sch dogs it's fairly obvious that someone wants to make a point about something. This topic has been beaten to death on this web site. Maybe just do a search on the subject and you will see dozens of posts about this with all the same people answering the same way each time. Possibly a better topic to post would be, What will a (so called) personal protection dog do if the bite suit is removed?

 I guess the helper would have to drop/ take off  the suit and see if the dog will still only be interested in the suit like many of the IPO dogs we see running off with the drooped sleeve. 

Well, there you go.

You could have answered your own question without signing up (probably for the second or third time) on this web site.

"Running off" and "drooped sleeve" pretty much answers your question, doesn't it?

OG expanded for me, but with better grammar and spelling and capital letters at the start of sentences and such.

Not all Sport Dogs can be Street Dogs (Police Dogs)...Not all Street Dogs (Police Dogs) can be Sport Dogs...Some can be and do both...

Many have already answered your questions...and that is...

*Depends on the individual dog
