Subject: Drilling with your dog?

Who here practices grappling with their dog? Mines is a corgi that loves to
play, I wanna find a way for his playfulness to help my training.

Mine is the best. We do a modified grappling drill where kitty attempts 
to pass hand-guard and gain elbow-biting access. Of course, my mutant 
cat has 6 extra toes, sleeps in the sink, and fetches almost anything 
you can throw, so I dunno about other cats.

I have two boy cats. They grapple....have the slipperiest hips...it's
usually
whack whack, whack with a paw, go the throat then take pussy-guard on the
way to getting the back.

One species in our house has been watchin' too many instructional
tapes...........

Well I think we've established here that grappling is the best defense against
a dog 




Please put the axe down, it was a joke.

Fuck bill, I meant positioning, things like that. You're just asking for an
expensive trip to the vet.

Corgis are vicious little bastards, anyway. Dogs and horses;
the general rule is that the smaller ones are meaner.

All the time.  Nothing like a 130 pound Mastiff coming at you to tune up
your reflexes.

Had a look at them on google.  They look exactly like a cross between my two
dogs.  They are kinda bull mastiff looking.  I want to get a Fila Mastiff
for my next dog but can't find anyone in Australia who breeds them. : (  Oh
well my dogs should have a few more years in them.  The three year old
mastiff is still convinced he is a puppy.

Most big protective dogs are.  Mastiffs genetically protect the female of
the house.  Our mastiff follows my wife around the house from room to room.
If we are walking the dogs and we stop to talk to someone the mastiff
instinctively will stand between my wife and the person she is talking to.
They are great dogs.

If you google images on 'boerboel', you get some good pics. The
puppies look adorable. Seems like they're good with children,
too, given the family portraits...

Corgi? Those little dogs the Queen Of England keeps?

I wrestled twice with a Great Dane cross. Weighs abt 140 lbs. 

Just working flow. Take back mount, dog tries to bite, jump into 3/4
mount, gently sweep out the "arms" ala against turtle, take mount. Dog
struggles, let dog up. Go to guard, work sweeps, triangles (dogs bite,
so be sure you...urm..."protect the boys". Pretty easy really - hook
one arm under their collar and push their jaw upwards with balde of
hand).

Afterwards, be sure to pat the dog and give it some food. *

Big dogs usually like a bit of roughhousing.  Ever played with an
Irish Wolfhound?  Huge shaggy monsters, sweet as anything.

Reminds me of a time I was in a teacher's backyard. We were practicing 
some kicks (warming up) and my teacher's gigantic Great Dane charged in 
front of me. I kicked that dog SO hard in the ribs... As I started to 
retract my kick in worry - I saw Horse's (the dog) reaction - he was 
happy and wanted to play more. Fuggin scarey. He probably didn't even 
think I was playing rough.

	I grapple with my 100lb Golden. We both play fight all the
time even though my wife yells at us to stop rough housing.
	It's a natural thing for dogs to do and it's play for them.
We'll both grapple, play bite etc. Then usually we'll lay on the floor
and snooze while the wife watches Dr. Phil afterwards.

Yeah, ditto Chas. Dogs (like many animals) see play as a form of predator
behaviour. Cats particularly - they have no sense of humour about
play-fighting.

 Hustlin' with a game pooch can be hours of exhausting fun for both of you.

great fun; good training.
I set rules for myself so the dog has a chance; they don't like joint locks
much and I'm worried to hurt them, No fist blows; light slaps and pushes-
nothing they don't like.
If I press, and they get scared, I back off till it's fun for them again.
Wonderful stuff-
