My friend's CH dobe never did pass her Temperament test given for Dobes only. She knew that that guy coming out from behind the blind was not really a bad guy. She just said "ho, hum. Is that guy nuts?" She was supposed to show some reaction like at least a "bow Wow" and she just raised her eyebrows and figured it wasn't worth the effort. On the other hand, I would defy someone to attempt to attack her "mom" and they would wish they hadn't. Some dogs are very smart. They know the difference between an actor and the real thing. maybe need better actors?
