Training Without Conflict® | Dog Training Podcast · Episode Fifty-Eight: Jan Van Maren · 22 Apr 2025 podcast
Well, if a helper doesn't like it, it's a helper's problem. Because it's the most beautiful thing there is to feel the impact of working with animals.
You know? Yeah. Still a little bit the same thing. It doesn't really matter where they hit.
There will be an impact. There will be an impact and you need to be prepared for it. You need to like it. For what other reason are you a helper? Right, right.
That is something else, of course. You need to have the technique of... because an escape is not just running away. A proper escape is sleeve in position for every dog the same on a fair spot. Every dog must have the opportunity to give an excellent grip. Everything else is up to how it goes. But if it's on a trial, you have to say, you have also something to say about it at the trial.
Because the most judges are going with the helpers on the field. They're making the mark of the dog and the mark of the helper. Where are you going to run away?
Yeah. But for the escape, you have still everything in your own hands most of the times because they can draw a line. But, uh, If you take one or two degrees on the left of it or on the right, depends where the thing is.
And if you are too sensitive for that kind of judges, well, then you have to man up a little bit and take some other attitude. Yeah. It's about, yeah. The... The program may be hard, but it must be fair as well.
Yes, but yeah. That's exactly what I think. So if a dog is in the guarding phase and in front of every dog, you make the decision together with the judge. After five seconds, I did the re-attack or seven seconds, just whatever. But after three seconds, you see the dog is hesitating or showing some bad behavior. That is the moment to make the re-attack. And if your hands are Tight, yeah.
It takes away more opportunities to show things.
That's the whole difference. If a dog is just sitting on the ground with his ears half back, then it's not active. Then it's forced to guard in silence. Well, if a dog is with the ears up and with a lot of, well, intensity. Yeah, for sure. Nothing. For me, for me, that's okay. I think the silent.
It's important for judges that they understand that kind of things. That's why it's important that the judges also are still active with dogs. Yeah. I'm happy in the Netherlands that the most judges that are judging are also handling dogs. I can really appreciate that in a judge. If they are competing high level or not, well, that...
They're still in the game. They're still working with them and they experience how difficult it is to get somewhere.
You can teach a dog everything, of course, but yeah, the way toward an end result.
so you make the dog look better of course for the competition in in how what would be your preference my preference is active guarding active guarding my preference is active guarding and uh we we also to be honest we also don't have the dogs to put in uh to put a silent guarding they all bark quite easy
Yeah, it's all practicing, practicing, practicing, doing it a lot of times. As I said, at our club, we don't actually have now the dogs to put in silent guarding. Wow. But we also almost never experienced bad grips in the re-attacks.
Yeah, there are different breeds, like Dutch Shepherds we have, Rottweilers, of course. Any Airedales, Schnauzers? No, not really, or maybe on places, I don't know. It's not common. No. Dobermans? No, Dobermans, yes, quite a few. How are they? Well, I think...
Well, it's so bad because, well, you don't see very often very good Dobermans.
Yes, and sometimes it can be so nice to have a good Doberman on the sleeve, but maybe it's just so nice because it's very rare. Right. And, well...
It would be nice if you have an all-breed championship with also some Dobermans that can hit the podium or something like that. Right. That's the cool thing. At the moment, it's just not possible.
flying like crazy like this like what is it about them i mean there is no other dog that does that i i think it's also uh i think it's going to combine with genetics and uh and also a little bit of um of the hectic that they have in them just uh impatient like i gotta go and
