Having to good of a handle on cd???????

Obedience is always a plus with catch dogs...I am very guilty of not putting enough in mine myself and just let it come by time in the woods but it does come with some pains for me and dog both.

I don't see were Ob would hinder the dog from catching a hog...

Dub, I tottaly dis agree with most of your post....Most dogs WONT actually bite and HOLD a human,some will fear bite and run but to bite and stay for the fight...not many will these days nor are too many folks geared for owning a dog who will. The thing I hated most about training protection dogs for a living was Joe n Nancy Blow would bring thier dog of any common protection type breed to me/us and want it trained to stop someone like me from entering thier home and doing them harm....I had a moral problem with that in that I knew most of the dogs brought to us would piss thier self if pushed and the genetics just were not there. Maybe after a couple years the dog could be built up enough to do 1/2 enough of what was needed but these folks wanted a quick fix and turn around so wwe had to turn the dogs to fear bites who LOOKED like they would do some thing,get them to half azz hold a sleeve and send them down the road....when I trained for myself I lost alot of buissnes because I turned folks away as I knew I did not want the dog they brought me protecting me or mine so why would I train it for someone else? A good ole dog who will raise hell and leave em guessing is all it really takes to deter trouble any how.
