Capacity limits potential.

Capacity refers to the maximization of inherent physical, mental, and behavioral traits that determine an animal’s potential and ultimately their suitability to different tasks.

Genetics lay the foundation for a dog’s capacity, as well as their suitability to specific roles given that capacity. Traits such as drive profiles, environmental soundness, and temperament are often influenced by hereditary factors.

Capacity is physical. Capacity for endurance, strength, speed, and natural jumping technique.

Capacity is cognitive. Capacity for trainability, memory, and problem-solving.

Capacity is behavioral. Capacity for drive expression, emotional stability, handler sensitivity, and recovery.

Even within the same litter, puppies inherit a unique combination of genes from their parents, leading to variations in capacity within different traits.

While genetics provide the baseline for capacity, environmental influences and training shape the realization of that potential. Training maximizes a dog’s innate capacity.

Even with strong genetic traits, untrained dogs may not reach their potential. Likewise, even the most experienced of hands cannot create excellence where capacity limits it.

Consider every individual trait as a drinking glass. Genetics determines the size of each glass. Training fills the glasses.

No amount of training can make a glass larger. The glass of a dog whose capacity in any given area has been reached in training cannot accommodate more.

Pouring into an already-filled glass will not make it hold more.

Capacity defines the upper limit of potential, while potential represents the possibilities within that limit.

Our jobs as working dog breeders, trainers, handlers, and enthusiasts is to be honest and critical in evaluating the capacity of our dogs.

Good training maximizes potential in good genetics. But good training cannot create what is not there to begin with.

A truly tragic and horrific case to read.
A seven month old baby girl killed by the family pet in a hideous incident in their home.
The little one leant on to the dog as she was toddling and was bitten on the neck and very sadly died. A stark reminder of how fast dogs can turn, How quickly something can escalate and how fatal one bite can be.

A dog will correct other dog’s behaviour with a snap or bite and in an agitated state of mind will lash out before investigating the situation. The Malinois was fixated on a bag when the baby touched him, both parents were in the vicinity and present when the dog bit.

Owners who have asked for advice with young babies around dogs know I am incredibly strict and have a 0 tolerance for babies/toddlers/young children being next to, touching, climbing on, leaning on, sitting with or “petting” a dog and this is the worst case example of exactly why I am so adamant about it!
Dogs shouldn’t have any access to young children who are crawling for exactly this reason! It’s so fast!! And in this case the dog had been seen by behaviourists for “dominating” behaviour in the months before the incident.
I would have absolutely tied the owner down to ensuring the dog and baby were never in the room together whether or not the parents were present for exactly this reason so maybe some owners out there who think I’ve been too harsh with rules around babies will understand why now!!
“Oh we never leave them alone together” is absolutely NOT good enough!!!! The parents were right next to the dog and baby!! Please remember this!!

Everyone thinks being a dog behaviourist is a dream job working with dogs but I have to deal with child bites and injuries every week and it’s always upsetting and highly emotional!! The only way to deal with this is to PREVENT!
And if you need to hear it here’s your reminder!
Dogs are NOT a furbaby
Dogs are NOT thrilled for the arrival of your baby
Dogs are NOT protecting your baby
Dogs are NOT “kissing” your child
Dogs are an ANIMAL
Dogs are an apex predator in your home!

Please no hate or comments about the parents in this case they have suffered enough and I hope this post may just save another child from injury!

While many training techniques focus on addressing the symptoms, we focus on the underlying causes for the symptoms using methods that are intended to work towards relieving the these cause all together.

While searching for the right dog trainers, we implore you to ask questions about how and where they learned to train dogs. We guarentee you will not find more highly qualified trainers in the area.
