[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4088081, member: 26737"] Mike Ritland, a former SEAL who trains military and police dogs and runs a rescue for them, has said the same thing about the dogs he trains and rescues; some of them have the instinct to bite and some just don't, and you don't know which is which until you try to train them. That's also a reason why he doesn't adopt out the dogs in his rescue and why he recommends against adopting military working dogs--they have that instinct to attack, and it has been reinforced through training, so even if you could've trained it out of them, that ship sailed long ago. I think the biggest problem the guy in the video has is that the behavior is either happening while she's away from him or while he can't do anything about it (he mentions her doing it to rodents and rabbits while he's mowing or cutting hay). Dogs have no way of connecting what's happening now with past events; although this is a behavior that might be correctable, if he can't catch her in the act, he can't do anything to correct it. I just don't know what you can do about that. [/QUOTE]
