[quote=zoey]Someone who titled a dogo in schutzhund told me not to pressure her for the first little while and not to try her defense. What is a good way to transition her focus?[/quote] That depends on if you want to trial her or if you simply want her to do PP work. IMHO if she's already exhibiting prey drive on the sleeve, depending on her age and experience, cultivate that for a while. Then slowly transition to an alert on command, then passive alert, hidden decoy jumping out (yet still working to trigger prey drive). Doing things like this are not only will not only be a solid basis for sport work but are also good exposure to possible "real" PP scenarios (someone jumping out from behind a blind/bush/tree/car/etc.)
