Ok sir. That's good to know your looking forward or would say going to different level with your dog.
7months old for a working GSD with such bloodline is too early to judge...I would say these kind of dog particularly in this breed. They are late bloomers compare to Malinois. Kaya dapat iba ang approach ng training sa kanila. At magugulat ka kapag sanay ka sa Malinois then you shift to GSD. GSD more often are late maturing breed. They spend time bonding with the pack and enjoying their enviroment. Kaya its too eary to say or judge your dog right away. Often times its in their genes as well..medyo matalagal madeveloped ang protection instinct nila. But if you know how to read their gestures..makikitaan mo na ito at early age of 4 months old or earlier depende sa foundation and stimulation na ginawa mo. Kaya maraming nagkakamali sinusubukan agad nila ang aso at very young age..its either your dog take it or break it! Sayang lang kung masisira ng isang walang alam na trainer ang aso mo at sasabihin panget or nervy ang aso mo. Minsan sinisisi pa nila ang bloodline. Pero ang totoo..ikaw mismo or trainer mismo ang dapat sisihin sa maling foundation na ginawa.

As I've said there are intial test made to determine kung ang aso mo ay pwede or would be a good candidate for protection of sports. Kasi dito hindi lang kagatan ang pinag uusapan. It includes your dog's nerve and how fast your dog recover after the trauma. Hindi kasi maiwasan na nattrauma ang mga aso natin, pero ang tanong. How fast they go back to normal or worst hindi na...palagi na may takot everytime they encounter same scenarios. Pero meron namang mga instances they can still recover or fix it by means of character recovery training stimulation. This might take a long process..Kaya it needs lots of time and patience.
About your question, kasi yung nakikita mo sa video. It might be a sport protection scenarios. Sadya ang imprinting or the way they train the dog that way. Since the other hand often times with article like guns or stick are used to stress the dog and see how the dog reacted or would say the dog still stand or give a fight with such article used by the decoy. In reality protection, normally kasi kapag ikaw meron kang hawak na pamalo or baril..at a distance makikita mo na yun ng aso. Kapag kakagatin na ng aso yung hawak mo na baril or pamalo, as human normally ginagawa natin iniiwas natin ito. Since that's the only way we can protect ourselves. Malas mo lang kung talagang ipapakagat mo ang kamay mo na meron kang hawak na baril or pamalo. Pero ang tanong kasi natin, kapag pinalo or nabaril mo na ang aso..thus the dog run or still continue giving you a fight? Kahit meron na itong tama ng baril or napalo mo na sa ulo at dumudugo na ang mukha nito kakagat pa rin kaya ang aso mo?
In some other way, meron mga trainer na ganun talaga ang orientation. They teach the dog to attack on the article.
