Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] What is Drive In German Shepherds
Drive in a dog is genetically influenced and can be bred for its superior
quality and desire or can be bred to exclude the undesired qualities. Often,
the term "drive" is substituted to mean an amount or type of behavior
exhibited by a dog. For example: this dog has a lot of prey drive, meaning
that it shows pursuing, grasping behaviors at a high frequency and that it
performs these behaviors with little inhibition. In classical psychology,
the term drive is antiquated but it suffices to help describe behaviors
adequately enough for the purpose of Police Dog training and deployment.
Drives often become arbitrary divisions of a canine's behaviors since seldom
does one behavioral trait exist without the influence of another upon that
behavior? There are many "drives" that can exist in a variety of
intensities. For training purposes, some drives are desirable and some are
NOT.
You have Character Traits, Play Drive, Prey Drive, Rank Drive, Retrieve
Drive, Drives for Hunting, Air Scent, Tracking, Subordinate, Pace Drive,
Activity Drive, Fight Drive, Guard Drive, Protection Drive, Survival Drive
or anything else you can think of.
