Yes, that is exactly what I took away from the video too. Trained dogs have learned to be confident because part of their training is that they always win. At least that is how it goes in our Shutzhund club during the protection training phase, and in the scent work phase.

LOL! I thought the same thing, cute and what a great fun thing for the little girl to take to school.
but....Yeah I've seen this video before, it's cute but there's a lot of controls and variables missing from the 'experiment' to make it worthy of a final conclusion.

This is an interesting concept. It would have been better if the bad guy either took off the sleeve and put on a bite suit or at least put on a hidden sleeve. Then he should have approached both groups of dogs in the same manner.

In a perfect world, the trained and untrained dogs would be littermates. It's possible the trained dogs are genetically sound while the untrained ones are basket cases. We just don't know.

True. How about a before and after video using the same groups of dogs and both approached in the same manner. The first video with untrained dogs and the second video with the same dogs after training. Both with a hidden sleeve. That would make a much better sales pitch.

This is an unfair project like everyone else says. The last 3 dogs who were not trained to protect all had a timid manner to them. My gsd, who is not trained, was walking with me one night and as we came across a man who snuck up on us out of no where Kaiser went into protective mode. When he feels a situation is not right he acts like those dogs that were trained. I really think it has to do with the personality of the dog not just trained vs untrained.

I don't like this video because the untrained dogs didn't have a connection with the girl, so they didn't want to protect her. Also the last 3 GSD's are timid
