The program is very experienced at evaluating their dogs. They put
thousands of dollars into breeding, raising, and training their dogs
and I don't think they would decide to pull a dog from service without
hard evidence and a thorough evaluation.
As a trainer, I can say that most dogs, when they are pulling as hard
as this dog seems to be pulling are not paying attention to their
work, and are either afraid, or over stimulated. This is not the
headspace of a safe working dog. There are dogs who walk quickly and
who pull hard. But they should have a consistent pull and they should
respond to cues from the handler and or correction, to modify this
behavior.
