: Führigkeit ist nicht immer an der Leine, das hier ist ein Jagdhund, ich glaube nicht, dass er den Jäger hinterherschleift...;-)

: The term for the dog being cooperative on the leash is "Leinenführigkeit" - which is only part of "Führigkeit" in general!

writeaway
: too much confidence for such a reference-free answer. who is shepherding whom? it's the dog's willingness to obey or follow a leader.

: Hunting dogs are not "shepherded", nor do they shepherd their owners! And LEO needs some serious editing - there is a lot of garbage in there!

Directability
The German term that is used to describe what I am talking about is "Führigkeit." Loosely translated it describes a dog that is willing to follow a leader. I like the image I get from this term. And even though some trainers still equate this with a subservient and even submissive attitude, I always chose to translate the term "Führigkeit." as directability.
Directability is truly the willingness to follow the directions of a leader. Think about this for a moment. I am not talking about a dog that works great for food or a toy. I am not talking about a dog who is submissive. I am not talking about a dog who can handle heavy compulsion and learn his lesson that way. I am talking about a dog who has an internal trust that following the direction of the leader must be in his best interest. This is a dog who can be shown what to do. Not a lot of coaxing with rewards is necessary and neither is a lot of force. I guess one way to assess directability is how much or how little coaxing or force was necessary to get a dog to take the direction. (When I am talking about force, I am not describing a correction -soft or -hard dog.)
