You have a young child that was shown many a time how to walk a trained dog to heel, and to drop the dog on command. Also look at the way the dog quickly registers the person walking over to him and the child, then half heartedly runs over for the arm lock, or shall I say the father shoves it in the dogs mouth. A trained protection dog is totally trained in a one to one basis. Owner/Trainer and dog, and not roaming around off the lead. Anyone can have a family guard dog, that's what that dog is. By putting two signs front and back of your property may save your bacon if the worse was to happen. Just remember, anybody can take anyone to court. You do not need the police involved to do this. So if the family guard dog bit somebody trying to break into the house is there a possibility you could get done, and is there a chance the dog could get put down...?

Was told recently by local plod that if my {guard} dog bites an intruder she would not be put down BUT if she mauled them badly enough she would be put down work that out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattydski 560 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 GSD's will exhibit protective behaviour without much training.......... Ours will let no one in the house, unless we intoduce them to the dog. It will not let anyone come between her and my wife, and if you try, you get told (strangers that is) She knows her job, (as we expect of her) and asks nothing but love in return. Although she has never tried to bite anyone, her body language is a suitable deterrent to put most folk off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlefish 587 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Iv'e heard GSD bitches can be very loyal and protective. I must say I am very wary of them as a breed, Iv'e never owned one but have known a few. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What a beauty My friends GSD that used to run alongside the horses with us knew me well but he would still stand proud and try and warn me off when he saw me coming onto the farmyard, he was in guarding mode until he realised it was me approaching but he still scared me, i wouldnt want to be on the wrong side of him, i admire the breed in every way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurcher123 3 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) It is good that a child can control a dog like the one in the vid clip. But if kids were to be walking around with dogs that are trained in this way (protection trained) you can bet a lot of kids would be showing off to there mates and someone would get hurt!! There are Enough kids walking the streets with there staff/bull-cross to protect them selfs and look hard, Youngsters should not be allowed out with potential dangerous dogs, Even trained ones.
