1 Since forever Use dictates breeding Dr. Raiser, LAZ 1

2 Already von Stephanitz knew The secret of educa<on and training is to be able to see and use correctly the given talents. Dr. Raiser, LAZ 2

3 The dilemma of training in sports But you can spoil the genotype and so the breeding Dr. Raiser, LAZ 3

4 Remember! If you train blue the dog becomes blue If you train grey the dog becomes grey Once an oddity is established in breeding everybody tries to top it. Dr. Raiser, LAZ 4

5 Topics Historical development Dog handler s and breeder s dilemma The prac<cal solu<on in sports and poli<cs Dr. Raiser, LAZ 5

6 What I do not talk about I on purpose exclude from this talk Ethics and moral as well as animal protec<on Dr. Raiser, LAZ 6

7 Is the causal chain sall correct? Quo vadis uality dog breeding? Who breeds and does not train is like a blind who speaks about color Breeding u<lity dogs is defined by work Dr. Raiser, LAZ 7

8 Historical development Herding dog Schutzhund Sport dog Dr. Raiser, LAZ 8

9 Puppy test at herding master Heine Dr. Raiser, LAZ 9

10 Talents in herding (Green Blue Grey Orange) Urge to move Prey behavior Special behavioral techniques (grip, fixa<ng) Herding drive Leadability Intelligent aggression Drive consistency Dr. Raiser, LAZ 10

11 The colors in mind Open Hyperactivity Aggression Adaptation Leadability Sociality Prey Dr. Raiser, LAZ 11

12 Talents for police dogs/guarding/schutzdienst (Grey Green) Dominant aggression Prey behavior Resistance behavior Search talent Dr. Raiser, LAZ 12

13 Talents in Schutzhund sport (Green Grey? Blue) Prey behavior Aggression behavior with medium to low threshold Good nerves????????? Leadability Drive/drive consistency/temperament Search talent Dr. Raiser, LAZ 13

14 Since forever Use dictates breeding therefore Validi<es in trials dictate breeding Dr. Raiser, LAZ 14

15 Use dictates breeding In herding and guarding the test is fixed to purpose Daily life is the benchmark In Sport tests are arbitrarily Best performance is the benchmark Dr. Raiser, LAZ 15

16 The use was fixated to daily needs Natural drive behavior is the motor Training is braking In the old days dogs were tortured with compulsion and force Dr. Raiser, LAZ 16

17 The transiaon from use in sports to dressage is smooth Natural drive behavior is modeled and channeled Today we torture with psycho terror Dr. Raiser, LAZ 17

18 Highest performance is the limit in sports Best performance in sports is achieved at the psycho- physical limit Dr. Raiser, LAZ 18

19 Loose follows Aght Unfortunately this is not only true in breeding but also in training: Once an oddity is established everybody tries to top it Dr. Raiser, LAZ 19

20 Odd fashion 96 points Dr. Raiser, LAZ 20

21 Odd fashion 98 points Dr. Raiser, LAZ 21

22 Odd fashion 97 points Dr. Raiser, LAZ 22

23 Odd fashion 96 points Dr. Raiser, LAZ 23

24 Progress in sport step backwards in breeding? It does not always make sense to do the doable, if it becomes!cave! a purpose for itself and the validity is not correct any more, it can loose its meaning It changes breeding selection Dr. Raiser, LAZ 24

25 Knowledge in training dictates breeding Lack in knowledge demands for a dog with capacity to bear High knowledge can decrease the conflict and makes a lot possible with socer dogs Dr. Raiser, LAZ 25

26 Knowledge in training dictates breeding Old days: Missing knowledge and force Later: Impact of ethological knowledge Today: high performance in dog sport Dr. Raiser, LAZ 26

27 Calm grip at the limit of bearing Dr. Raiser, LAZ 27

28 Change of values in society Aetudes in society change and have an impact on sport and breeding Social temporary opinions create oddi<es Tabooing of aggression Denial of pain Dishonesty Fun society Dr. Raiser, LAZ 28

29 Dilemma of breeders and trainers Wrong validity in the trial destroys the dog Wrong validity leads to odd breeding selec<on The requirements of the purpose achieve a breeding selection for the needed character Dr. Raiser, LAZ 29

30 Drive target is the best reinforcer The more the wanted behavior of the dog corresponds with the natural drive behavior, the easier is training and the more consistent in drive the dog will be in work. The bigger the distance between drive aim and trial expecta<ons, the more the genotype needs to be violated. Dr. Raiser, LAZ 30

31 The decisive big points No problem with the short exercises Long heeling forms the character. Only the blue dog is comfortable in the <ght bpx, the grey demands to be let free or answers with passive aggression. The elimina<on of free phases between exercises kills the grey dog he relearns. Long barking forms the character Fun for the grey dog The blue dog is fidgety or begging Dr. Raiser, LAZ 31

32 The dilemma in training for sports The secret of educa<on and training is to be able to see and use (and breed) correctly the given talents. Dr. Raiser, LAZ 32

33 The types The primarily adaptive dog vs The primarily dominant dog Dr. Raiser, LAZ 33

34 SoluAon for the problem Classical condi<oning generalises primarily If I train blue my dog turns blue If I train grey my dog turns grey Dr. Raiser, LAZ 34

35 The dilemma of breeders and trainers/ goal setng Where is the journey supposed to go? Do we want the dog with good nerves, medium threshold and good aggression poten<al? Do we want the dog hysterical on triggering mit low threshold and weak nerves? Dr. Raiser, LAZ 35

36 The basic problem in training Dr. Raiser, LAZ 36

37 Konfliktlösung durch Lernen Dr. Raiser, LAZ 37

38 The fundamental differences of the blue and the grey dog Both accept a deal : If you do, you receive green But the grey demands The blue steps back and waits Dr. Raiser, LAZ 38

39 Training is management of conflict Dr. Raiser, LAZ 39

40 Drive aim is reinforcement Dr. Raiser, LAZ 40

41 Drive aim is reinforcement is comfortable in is comfortable in Dr. Raiser, LAZ 41

42 The problem for the dog handler is faague Green underlies a trigger and ac<on specific fa<gue Grey and blue do not show the same problems This is why you need at least one of them for securing Dr. Raiser, LAZ 42

43 The pracacal soluaon the learning pyramid Dr. Raiser, LAZ 43

44 Training Plan A: Show the dog heaven Plan B: Reinforce the belief that is is possible to reach heaven Plan C: Let the dog feel hell, if it does not struggle to reach heaven Dr. Raiser, LAZ 44

45 The secret of plan C Plan C is the solu<on to the puzzle Plan C only works with excellent coordina<on, otherwise the dog with solid nerves shows passive resistance behavior and begins to tolerate, the dog thin in nerves becomes anxious or panicky A dog must be made resistant to stress for Plan C Dr. Raiser, LAZ 45

46 Training the adapave dog Plan A: show the dog heaven Plan B: Reinforce the belief that ii is possible to reach heaven and become world champion in training Plan C: cauaon, cauaon, cauaon Dr. Raiser, LAZ 46

47 Primarily adapave vs primarily dominant dog Wash me, but do not make me wet - does not work The dog is modeled in ist drive and technical behavior by classical and instrumental condi<oning (During this he is dyed in blue or grey) The long and concentra<ve elements mellow the dog with strong nerves and resistance behavior more than the hysterical, fidgety, that feels comfortable in adapta<on The grey is nailed down quickly in plan C in long exercises The blue needs a clicker and a training world champion in plan B Dr. Raiser, LAZ 47

48 Difference: Resistance behavior vs adapave behavior The dog with resistance behavior demands and pushs The dog with adap<ve behavior waits and asks or begs The phenotyp is the result of gene<cs and experience Like this many a strong genotype has bin disassembled in its personality Dr. Raiser, LAZ 48

49 Recipe Plan A Dr. Raiser, LAZ 49

50 Recipe Plan B Dr. Raiser, LAZ 50

51 Recipe Plan C Dr. Raiser, LAZ 51

52 Best perfromace is the limit in sports Best performance in sports is achieved at the psycho- physical limit Dr. Raiser, LAZ 52

53 What needs to be done? It is urgent to reposiaon validiaes in the trial rules Everybody knows what oddiaes lead to in breeding OddiAes in sport have a direct impact on breeding selecaon and cause the same damage in mental abiliaes Dr. Raiser, LAZ 53

54 What needs to be done? New dog handlers need to be enthused On regional trial level Ø The achieved result has to be honored Ø And not the not yet achieved cri<cised (RSV2000 judging system) Because the perfect mix of grey and green and blue is a long process, taking years Also for the dog handler it is true : First Plan A then Plan B then Plan C Dr. Raiser, LAZ 54
