Now I am confused. I thought this would be more like teaching her to act for some reason, and if I didn't teach her to bite she wouldn't be feeling agression just displaying it. Guess I was wrong on that and it is much more complicated. I try not to put her in bad situations and we haven't been threatened. However, the last attack that occured on the college campus (less than 1 mile from my house) happened in the daytime about 11:00 am. You just never know. I thought maybe having a dog that could--not always does---look like a protector may make someone think twice but I do realize that if someone is really determined and crazy not much would deter them, but then I would be a victim anyway right? I think what I have decided to do is wait and let her mature a little more while we continue with the obediance training. Her instructor said she should be ready to try for her CGC in a few weeks. I really want to do therapy work with her and I will have to ask whatever trainer I consult about this if it would eliminate her from therapy work. I wouldn't want to do this with just any trainer so I will start searching now and maybe in 6-7 months when she is maturing more I will have found one who would like to evaluate and maybe work with us.
