I think using words like attack training gives manwork training a bad rap. I have been training dogs for sport and security for the past 8-9 years and the best protection trained dogs are not the nasty ones as there aggression is often based on nerves and when the going gets tough they bog off. The best dogs are confident and sociable with sound nerves. Saying that years ago i had a friend who had a collie/greyhound which we taught competition manwork but there are other breeds for guarding and with todays political climate would you want a manwork trained lurcher?

Dont think i explained myself very well i didnt mean through nervousness my dogs only guard when told to guard or when their on the yard there sound with folks on the street and kids, dogs etc imo a lurchers as good as any breed to use for guard work ive seen some evil examples and its a trait that used to be required all the travellers i knew as a child had a good dog chained outside their vans. I poach alone and i aint got permission and a dog with this disposition suits me i do a lot of my work in dense woodland and the dogs let you know when anyones about returning straight to me with hackles raised and growling well before theyve even seen em. I just wondered if anybody else did this.

No worries, each to his own, maybe we have different ideas of guard work and I would dispute that lurchers are as good as any breed for guard work. I don't mean a dog that barks in the yard when someone knocks on the door, i'm talking about training dogs(from working lines) to cope with full on confontation and stress. For this a dog needs, sound nerves, confidence and correct training.

 

 

P.S. Weak nerves and nervousness are different, a dog returning growling and hackles up is displaying a degree of nerves

Attack trained your f*****g saluki would take people off their horses,bike riders arent safe joggers get regularly bitten .If some poor f****r did get in your garden the only good thing is you wouldnt have to feed them next day.Apart from the german shepherd he would need at least 2 average sized burglars to satisfy his appetite.

 

 

Most lurchers all you have to do is stick them on a chain that usualy turns them a bit nasty.

I aint getting into no argument if youve not trained a lurcher for manwork as you put it you may get a suprise they soon learn that the arms only a faint and usually try for a throat hold just look at the size of some of the deer thats been taken if youve any doubts at their ability as i said before all my dogs have been trained to guard or tackle out never had any problems with this and the dogs love it ive worked with allies[weak back legs] and rotties[weak necks] and some lurchers bite as hard as pits. i just wondered if anybody else took this route now that theres loads of bullxs about.

25 years ago I attack trained two lurchers, I would never ever do it again - far too dangerous.
