That's pretty much the whole point.

The dog had a history of Food Aggression, so thats possibly not normal as such, but CM is known for his dominance theories and In Your Face tactics when dealing with problem dogs.

I think most of us could tell you that if you challenge a dog with FA that severely, you are probably going to get bitten; it's just nice(?) to see it proved!

What did he want/expect to happen? That she should suddenly lie down, roll over, piss all over herself to prove how submissive she was and start wagging her tail and licking his hand?

Maybe I'm just thick and getting the wrong end of the stick, or is just so obvious no-one else has mentioned it, but am I the only one who just saw a perfectly normal dog respond in a perfectly natural way to an unprovoked attack from a stranger and then acted in defence when it thought it was threatened again? Apart from the fact that the idiot FDT got what he deserved what are we to learn from this? Or is that the whole point?

Sounds like a reasonable and balanced description to me... and I love the way he calls him the FDT, although, going by that video, I'd have thought IDT more appropriate :0)

It worked and he gives a fairly good description of what you see in this video and makes some very good points!

There are not that many 'bad' labradors around but when you get one they can be the worst to deal with in my experience. Not sure if he is brave or daft - his face and other parts of his anatomy were well within the firing line!

Ouch! I'd like a lackey available at all times to spray saline on me lest I get bitten. Usually have to turn on the tap myself

Oww! I was just about to post this after getting an email link from my mother - good grief, that was an epic screwup! (My sympathies - i got bitten in the face by a labrador a few years ago; wasn't trying to wrestle a behaviour case, was trying to help lift a collapsed dog off the floor. The front half of the dog worked fine and I'm the luckiest sod in the world that I didn't get off worse than a 50p size hole in my chin!)
