Hmmm... a bit rambling, tonight. That happens to me sometimes around 3 am, but I am wanting to start this conversation and I'll be honing this as we tease it out a bit. Please join the conversation and add to the comments. I am interested in what you think and in your experiences. Thanks.

No matter how you train, at some point you need to move an animal from the protected training area to the real world, whether that is on exhibit, in the show ring, or on the street. At that point, you need to consider your safety back up equipment (and skills!), and make sure that all are protected. This is crucial when you work with dangerous dogs (or other animals).
