Rocky – My New K9 Challenge

Couple of months ago we were looking for a dog to protect our customer’s construction site (his interest led to us developing a new solution for protecting commercial properties and construction sites described here). One of our contacts referred me to a police officer in New Jersey who imported a dog from Netherlands to be used by a SWAT police department. I already wrote about Rocky’s behavior in the previous article. This news blog discusses our experiences with this interesting challenging dog in a much more detail.

I hope it will be both interesting and educational. I will keep updating this article with my work and life with Rocky focusing on fun and not so fun experiences in our daily lives, training techniques that were successful and those that did not work while focusing on addressing behavior problems with this very challenging high prey drive dog.

Confidence and Caution in Working Dogs

The best results in many areas are achieved by balance between various factors. Usually, extremes without a balance do not achieve optimum results. This is true for the performance of working dogs. I already covered the subject of aggression in one of my previous articles on this website. This article discusses the balance between caution and confidence. This is well illustrated by studying the behavior of our two working K9 dogs — Luna and Rocky.
