I have been disgusted by this over and over again. When you have a dog who
shows "no" reaction to the Umbrella test and passes - that's a problem.
There are exceptions to every rule. Perhaps a dog lives in an apartment,
his owner walks him and uses an umbrella every time in the rain. Why would
that animal react to an umbrella, been there, done that, no big deal. They
don't fail, they get a zero for a non reaction. If they run, and don't
recover,
that fails them. I have seen dogs yawn during the gun test, that is a zero,
a non reaction. What is being judged is recovery from reaction. Some see
the umbrella blow up in their faces, and then recover instantly, because they
have just swallowed the umbrella! Some will turn and give the gunman a very
dirty look, and continue to watch them, some bark, some don't, some have
already surmised that we are all crazy, but they love us in spite of ourselves.
These are very smart dogs, unfortunately some of our very smart dogs have
idiots for owners..............
