As a longtime handler then trainer of K9’s used for tracking/locating down violent felons, I can believe this. Especially early on, we allow the K9’s to scare us into running as soon as they show a move towards us. We pretend to be scared of them when they show the kind of behavior we are looking for. It all goes to confidence, allowing them to advance in training.

Ummmm, saw a tiger at the zoo once get spooked just like an itty bitty kitty just because someone sneezed. I don’t think it’s pretending at all.
