Comment to 'question about socialization with a fila'
  • Hi Des,

    Thank you for your post. It is very good to ready about your observation of your CO.  You have a good one there. This goes to show that proper upbringing and training however slight can modify a dogs reaction to certain stimuli but the hard wired instincts are always to default behavior.  These can be suppressed with training and socialization but they are still there and ready to launch the dog into action with the right set of circumstances - as determined by the dog.
