. With that being said, the "gameness" aspect of a dog may be able to be taught if done correctly. For example, weight pulling dogs, mostly APBT's, have shown that those trained to pull for their owners satisfaction (gameness) regularly out perform those trained differently. Dogs who are trained to pull solely for the satisfaction of treats or some other reward have been shown to be very tempermental and give up easily....
Nick, I respectfully dis agreea bout gameness being taught,now some will work harder for a good handle vs being force pulled etc. But I will go deeper tommorow as I need to get up to hunt a 5am.
Take care.
