The source essay uses this phrase to emphasize control under demanding conditions. Here it is presented as an editorial metaphor, not a verified comparison of task difficulty or a training instruction. When a team discusses a change in behavior, it should explain what was observed rather than infer intent from a label alone. The record needs to support the interpretation.
Reliable management, participant safety and immediate response to safety instructions remain central. A video, title or measurement cannot establish that a canine will behave safely in every uncontrolled situation. Be clear about the limits of the exercise.
