Continuation of controversy: two dogs growling and pulling a tug. This exercise is a perfect way to develop a sense of competitiveness in dogs, it strengthens the whole trunk and improves dogs’ force and endurance. Why do we need all those things? It’s necessary for example during competition and not to effectively tear off a human leg or kill another dog.

My two dogs, a rottweiler and a Pit Bull, exercise together. Thanks to such exercises I’m able to control their behaviour, I’m capable of exciting my dog and directing his drive towards sport competition, and not another dog. Thanks to that I do not have any problems with fights about any objects, as they always, eventually, belong to me.

I’m really happy that these article provoke some discussion. I don’t expect many likes but I want people to think about the issue before they judge someone. I’ve been often attacked by dogs during trainings. These dogs weren’t usually the ones that are regarded as aggressive, but rather mild, such as labradors or golden retrievers. It’s not about blaming these dogs, but in 90% cases these were dogs that have never done any exercises like these. Dogs do not have to do any exercises to be able to harm another dog or a person. Their natural physical predisposition is absolutely enough to do so.
