      >>In Mondioring a dog needs a good balance of prey and defense and the training decoy will use these drives to obtain the "joy of the bite / fight". <<

      Q - Bob, many people on this and other lists have the opinion that fighting drive is a 'combination of prey and defensive drives'. I've always considered fighting drive to be a separate behavior that can be stimulated through a combination of prey and defense work, but is a 'stand alone' drive that a dog can learn to use as it's primary drive in work. Is that true?
      Erik.

      A - Yes, simply put, prey is the chase, defense self preservation, fight is a product of both once the dog is engaged. We happen to be able to use the best of both worlds when training protection work.
