Table Training In Protection Work Why I Don't Agree With It It is 100% WRONG !!! By In recent years more and more people are table training in bite work. I am not a fan of this method of protection training. It is not only bad dog training it is also morally wrong. Let's take a minute and explain exactly how table training works. Two tables are used. A three foot square table at waist-height and a shorter, larger newfoundland puppies dog breeds round table closer to the floor. The dog is chained to the taller table by a short chain attached to a swivel that turns 360 degrees. When moved to the short table, the length of chain is increased. The tall table is used for the beginning work and the short table used for the control work. Table training is founded in survival drive. Survival is the wrong way to train protection dogs. When a dog is placed up dog breeds dog breeds on a table and attached to a very short chain it quickly realizes that all avenues of escape have been removed. Initially the helper stresses the dog and demands attention and aggression. If the dog turns his back on the helper or does not act aggressive enough the level of stress is increased until the dog is brought into fight. The dog quickly learns that if I don't show aggression I get the crap scared out of puppies free dog breeds me and the safest place to be is on the sleeve. What people don't understand here is that the "fight drive" that they see in this work is coming totally from the "fight or flight" in avoidance. It does not come from the fight drive that I refer to that is built as a result of a confident foundation started and built through early prey work.
