I've witnessed many mutts turn to shit when out of sight of their owners,I'm talking dog packs, 6-7 potlickers taught to find,flush,chase,catch or kill.
These dogs were well aware of that old saying, Out of sight out of mind.
Back with the Alpha male, (the owner) they would come across as being bloody saints.
There were no such things as an electric collar back then.If there was such a thing many a mutt would have been introduced to it's feel just for starters.
These mutts were not into the sit,heel,stay etc. They were not meant to be trained as such,but they knew well what NO meant but regardless of that they were unpredictable. Guess you wouldn't see many of these packs today.
Interesting thread all the same.
