Barking is the natural way for dogs to express their emotions. With rare exception, dogs successfully open their mouth when they wish to please neighbours and guests, to welcome the “brothers on reason” and simply “for the good of their soul.” But in practice it is often necessary to open their mouth when it is necessary for trainer. Barking is not only a part of the training sport system, but it is used in applied work. For example, search and rescue dogs must denote the human finding with voice. Many special dogs have to bark at a laying. Besides that, the usual owners of dogs do not mind if their pet barks, when someone touches the door or gate in an apartment or in a private house.
To develop barking and make it aggressive, assertive and dependable is usually not a problem for the trainer. The greatest difficulty is precisely to develop the original conditioned reflex.
There are several methods how to develop the skill. Each of them is based on the use of certain reactions of behaviour.

Dogs Training: Not Slackening Under A Command

Nothing pleases trainer more then dog that is active, interested in Oporto and being in the mood for fighting the man. Interested persecution of a “prey”, absence of fear to struggle and the desire to work – all these qualities make it possible to introduce more complications easily and to lead a dog on all steps of protective training planned. But the learning process is never smooth. One of the problems that are often faced by the trainer is reluctance to slacken a bite (of a sleeve) under the “Give” command when needed.
It is known that not slackening under a command, for example, in the IPO, causes the same ruthless dismissing from a test as when there is no bite at all. But taking into consideration that the lack of bite may be caused by various causes, including congenital defects of a nervous system, not slackening under a command is a consequence of methodological and technical mistakes in dog training, which can and should be avoided.
Why a dog does not slacken the bite? This occurs because the protective training is conducted with a minimum inhibitory stimuli, the stimulation of the nervous system is maintained at a very high level. Figurant (or a trainer – dog owner, when the exercises are processed without assistance) encourages a bite, tightens the object to him and re-releases it then, making the dog compress the prey more and more harder. As a result, some dogs become overexcited, and the bite could become almost mortal. In this case, it may be quite problematic to get the dog to switch and throw the prey, and many inexperienced trainers are not able to manage with such a task.
Typically, in such cases, the dog throws a prey after a lengthy of “persuasion”, soothing strokes, and it happens after the natural decay of excitation. Teaching a dog to throw a prey “in a nice
