Interesting article today in the Dallas morning news. My Aysha, and most of the dogs that I helped trained back in the day, were bark and hold dogs. They were taught to fight only on command OR if their handler was physically attacked. She was also taught to let go on command. And that is a lot safer legally than the other way (which is talked about in the article if you care.
While it seems like the no-bite training would remove a police dog’s real power and effectiveness, the “bark and hold” method is being used by a few police departments throughout the country, including Allen.
