Lloyd90 509 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Just wondering if anyone here works there dogs for protection work etc ? Not something I am looking to do myself, for a long time atleast, just show an interest in all types of dog work. Have a copy of the book ManStopper here and just dug it out of a big pile I've had on the shelf for a while so thought I'd see if anyone else shares an interest Would love to have a go at the Police dog handler type work except I'd have to join the bloody police then 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lloyd90 509 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 If your serious I can put you in touch with some body who will help you out, don't be a time waster though. Ps what dog you wanting to work with? Thats a cracking offer cheers mate! Like I mentioned though It's not something I am in the position to take up at the moment, so I wouldn't want to waste yours/your friends time. Was just wondering about it etc, unlike gundog work / lurcher work theres not alot of stuff out there to read from what I have found and was just expressing an interest! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neems 2,406 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 You can work in private security. you'd have to join some sort of club for training etc but if you did that and got chatting you'd soon make contacts and find some leads for work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lanesra 3,994 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 This Type Off Dog Work Has Always Fascinated Me , Unfortunately The Island I Live On Has Never Had Any One With The Knowledge / Experience Too Educate Someone Inexperienced , As Said Its Not Something You Can Play At This Type Off Dog Work .

Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 i found this video interesting : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXqNl5bTCMU 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,173 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 That's a very good video from someone who really knows what he's talking about. There are a fair few Saluki lurchers around like this, but they don't necessarily have the same trainability factor as a Malinois, and that's why so many people come unstuck with them, particularly in pet homes. When you have high prey drive plus lack of trainability/biddability, then sh*t happens, especially when the dog doesn't get enough work and socialising and starts chasing livestock/other dogs etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leegreen 2,196 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I have a Malinois and it has tested my skills and patience to the max. But nearing 18 months old I'm nearly out the other side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 ive a dutch herder hes 15wks very active but so much calmer and more laid back than malinois pups ive seen and very trainable... perhaps this is simply the calm before the storm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gonetoearth 5,144 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Spent a couple of hours watching this training very impresive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fitchet 788 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Done a fair bit of security/protection work when i left school i got a job with a very well known trainer was brilliant i regret not sticking at it really its hard to find work for the dog and there are loads of people at it now. I have ordered 2 presa canario pups of a local trainer one is going to a mate but the other is bieng trained by me. Had malis shepheards rotties bulldogs ect but quite looking forward to this pup.
