I would like to start saying that you shall never go in and train protection work without knowleadge and an very experinced trainer. A dog no matter what breed is very easy to destroy. This goes for all breeds, I have seen to many dogos getting easy destroyed in this type of work, far more then german shepards, rottwilers, dobermanns and so on in working breeds. [blockquote]What is a good way to transition her focus?[/blockquote] Ask a experianced figurant that has worked a lot with dogos, they can tell you the right things you need to work with.
