I agree with this premise. This is why, in the schooling section of my book, I recommend not game testing any animal more than once ... as well as not letting them get too tired repeatedly.

Build skills in school, do not let them get dead-ass tired all the time, or you will begin to give them the idea that a brawl always ends up unpleasant for them. They're supposed to like the contact, but no one likes to be deadass tired all the time.

As an analogy, I said "You may like ice cream naturally ... but if someone forces you to eat 3 buckets of it every time you have it ... you'll get sick of ice cream after awhile," and it's true.

This is why, even in boxing, your trainer doesn't make you spar until you're staggering and can hardly lift your hands up, every damned time you lace-on the gloves. You only spar a few rounds, to sharpen your skills, and then you go do other exercises. If you were forced to fight like Ali and Frazier in "The Thrilla in Manilla" every single time you sparred, you would never have a career, because all the starch would be taken out of you in the gym.

So good post!
