Sorry...This is a repost of a question that I posted last night and only had 2 answers. I wanted to get the daytime people's thoughts:)
A 7 year old Lab that was retired from service. He became fearful of storms, loud noises, thunder etc and they called in Cesar Milan to help him get over his fears?
Cesar said the dog forgot HOW to be a dog because of his intense training/relationship with humans. His owner said Gavin wasn't a PET, he was a TOOL for Law Enforcement. (I hope I worded that right) They did say while in service that he was a VERY stable, sure dog.
This got me to thinking...
Do dogs that are used for this purpose (police work, ATF work, security, drug enforcement etc) go thru this? Is there a point when they DO forget HOW to act like a dog?? With all the intense training they go thru and the 24/7 contact with people, they know more human 'commands' then 'dog' language. Do they forget how to be a dog?
Just wanted your thoughts
