I disagree with you on some matters here, agree with you on others.

  • 1. A dog's ability to "bite hard" is 100% genetic;
    [list:m2bszt9e]a) You can take a freak mouth dog off the chain, with no work, and he will still be a freak-mouth dog;
    b) You can work a mush-mouth dog as hard as you want, and all he will ever be is a well-conditioned mush-mouth dog;

2. Working a dog's mouth does enable them to use whatever mouth they have longer.
  • a) The jaw and mandible muscles are muscles, and as such can be conditioned too.

Therefore, I think adding something for "conditioning the jaw muscles," while it may not turn your dog into Zebo, it will allow him to use whatever biting power he does have over a longer, sustained period of time.
