I would agree, re-attack. And that's why the re-attack actually has so much points comparing to the other exercises, right?

I love how the IGP, whomever thought of the points way back in tracking and obedience and protection, they really seem to understand the difficult parts in the program. So the points, I really think they reflect very nice what is... To get the re-attack to be really nice, what needs to happen? How do you make a dog have that dominance and believe in itself and make that punch? On training? Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So that preparation before the bite actually, it's what's going to make the bite, right? What about the guarding and the barking? You kind of always seem to know, depending how the dog guards, very rarely you get surprised. the way the re-attack looks like. You can pretty much predict by the way you see how the dog guards, how it barks or how it stares, what it would look like, right?

That's kind of what I was thinking is like if the dog is not showing much confidence and almost barely can hold control itself to go into the fight, if it's not there, chances are the re-attack may not be so strong. So... I think creating that really good guard phase will affect the re-attack.

But the guarding phase is a tricky one because nowadays we can really kind of create a picture that looks like I am super strong and look at me barking so hard. But actually, even the dog knows that it's fake in it, right?

You know, I think what's happening, and it's not like nothing new. I mean, that's nothing new that I'm going to say, but good helpers, or I should say helpers that have the talent to be very good. they think of themselves, they put themselves so high that they don't think they should spend their time working the not so strong dogs. But it's the not so strong dogs that can make you a better helper.

Because if you can find a way how to make a dog that doesn't believe in itself, you are starting to enter a different level in your helper work, no?

typically see or hear is the helpers that really, I'm like very good and I'm growing, I'm working up to becoming national selections and so on. they feel like there is nothing for me here. I wanna work the dogs that are going into the competition. I wanna work with the big names people and so on. But as far as the benefit of learning, it's not smart to just work the best dogs, no.

like for you personally what is the if you if you were to have okay these are my top three or top two most interesting parts that i really like to work on regardless of age or breed, like what areas in the protection are the ones that you just really enjoy?
