Not that you always have to do because some dogs need it, some don't, but what are something that you really enjoy and you feel really good at it? Like top two.

Yeah, they immediately, I mean, even today, like Tarzan or whomever, it's like, whoa. Jan is back in town. I gotta adjust now. And then they make the adjustments when they can. Of course, they have to be able to. Sure. But yeah, I know exactly what you mean by that. What about age? What do you think? Does that... How soon is too soon or... for working on grips? No, just overall protection.

Just doing IGP. I mean, sometimes trainers are like, okay, I get a puppy and they feel like they don't want to miss anything and the puppy is already... It's four months and it's running six blinds, mini blinds, and it's doing all sorts of like... But then you have a two-year-old dog that hasn't done anything, but genetically very sound and has very good rapport with the owner.

Yes. They don't even sometimes, you're trying to look mean at them and they don't recognize it yet, right? No, because it's too young. Right.

I think it's a different, a difficult question to... No, always. Yeah, I don't think there is one answer, really. No. I... I love when somebody comes to some workshop with a two-year-old dog that just never done anything in protection, but the owner has really good obedience. It's not that they are not doing anything.

It's just the dog is not exposed to protection training, but he has the natural talent for it. I love these dogs because within three days, Yeah, you can reach... It just catch up to the dogs that have been doing it for the last three years very fast too. But yeah, what would be... If you, like I, you know... Sometimes... What do you feel about the dogs that are...

not so sure in the beginning when they are young like when when do you say well i don't think that that's good for the sport it's not like the dog's not really well uh if you start you you want to see some some drives of course uh how's the hunting drive that that

you pick it from the puppies and it's like the puppy that doesn't necessarily go to everybody. And it's just a little more cautious looking around a little bit more.

I love the, again, like with some dogs that are really insecure and there is just impossible to move forward. But often what I find with the dogs that are a little unsure, when they do bark and hold, they do the bark and hold with real intention because they are in conflict. And it's a question, am I good enough or no?

And as long as you show them that they're good enough, what they're putting in front is very real. To where if it's a confident dog, you have to make him... kind of create a little challenge to where they're like, am I really that strong in order to get that same barking?
