Protection training

Protection training- dogs can be trained to be dangerous and to bark, bite and attack. Some breeds are more easily trained but all dogs with teeth and vocal cords can be threatening.

Having your family pet go through protection training is not recommended. Most families cannot handle a protection trained dog and there is little reason for them to have a protection trained dog. Too many pet owners have been talked into this type of training without being properly educated about it. Some guard dog trainers argue that if the right dog is properly trained he will not become vicious and randomly attack. This may be true but there are two things that are very key in that statement. The "right" dog and proper training. A German shepherd has a naturally easygoing disposition and may be easier to handle than a Doberman. But any dog will need to have proper training. An absolute must is obedience training. Only after successful obedience training should you attempt to protection train your dog. Find a trainer who will teach you how to train your dog to attack on command. You will have to keep your dog on a leash unless he is very well trained in obedience and instantly stays put on command.

Most dogs are instinctively protective, but not as puppies and it may take from 18 months to two years for them to show strong protective instincts. So don't rush your 1-year-old puppy off to protective training, his protective instinct is coming.
