I don't agree. I'll never train my dog for defence! Since Lorka arrived to our home I've taught her she should have a very balanced attitude to humans - no jumping, no grapsing - just indifferent or friendly attitude. I walk my dog in busy streets several times a day, let her unleashed in the city common, take her by buses and trams, go to crowded cafes and friendly stores with her. She is used to walking among people who look all differently, with sticks, strange luggage, etc. etc.
I must be sure she'd never want to play "defence game" with anybody. This is my absolute priority! Thus I don't feel like mixing in my dog's head just to pass some test. I saw wofldogs that do very well on the sleeve, but their owners warn people they should not approach them!
