[BIGWRIGHT]

I was sitting around watching some personal protection videos with a friend of mines and we watched some muzzle work being done as well as some handlers working the leg sleeve with a few dogs. My buddy thought it was a dumb move to treach a dog to bite the leg because it may the dog vunerable to be attacked by the attacker from his hands. I can understand that to a point but I still think leg biting can be an important tool but I can see what he's talking about because if a dog is holding a leg then he does become vunerable for getting punched or stabbed or whatever. The muzzle work was excellent my friend thought that by having a dog muzzled attacking someone that can fight back that he can't bite is maybe to much because it teaches the dog to attack a person and hurt them vice the bit and hold affect. I think I answered this question right but I wanted to know what everyone else thought I told him that the fight drive was a very important drive for a dog to prove that he can handle someone in a fight where someone doesn't give up when a large dog is involved. We would all like to believe that everyone is scarred of a Rottweiler but their are a few fools out their who will still try you with a large dog. Case in point a lady was at a ATM her rottweiler was beside her and the guy still tried her I guess he figured that he was just a show rottweiler and even when the dog bit him he still tried his luck. To me I feel it's an important part of a dogs training to build it's courage to let the dog know that it can fight back and it can win a battle. I follow the ???????? theory let the dog do the muzzle work then give him a bite afterward to relieve the frustration of the dog after the muzzling.

Anybody have any views about the muzzle work or leg biting. I know allot of people would rather just use a full body suit but I think their is something to be learned by using these two techniques as well.
