Comment to 'An Observation About PP Dogs and K-9'
  • I was watching a few videos of performance dogs and K-9 unit dogs. I noticed that the dog always goes for the arm that is oriented to their right as they approach the decoy or perpetrator. If the person is facing the dog the dog goes for the left arm (sleeve arm), if the person is running away the dog goes for the right arm mostly. Now since I am right handed if I am facing an approaching dog my weapon will probably be in my right hand.. so why does the dog go for the left arm. Is it because that is where the sleeve would normally be. If so - that is very weird. If a dog grabs my left arm and I have a knife, gun or club in my right hand - the dog will probably end up dead. Since I am not in the PP sport business I probably don't know what I am talking about. What are your thoughts on this?
