Noticed you do agitation work. Nice to see someone here aquainted with a working dog ![]()

I haven’t been into it for a while, but I was pretty damn good. A real art form and skill that goes right over average people’s heads.
A good agitator can get passable work out of softer dog or turn a hard one into a controlled assassin if he knows what he’s doing and has a handler that listens.
On the other hand an amateur can destroy a sterling specimen in 5 minutes, especially a younger one.
You have to be able to read the dog and know when to push and when to surrender.
