Answer 1

More than likely your dog doesn't have a mean disposition. (being part lab) But you can try putting the dog in it's cage and playing the Wiggles over and over again. Maybe some Yanni or Michael Bolton. That would definitely make me want to attack someone.

Answer 2

Making your dog more aggressive is a relatively simple, though not necessarily pain or risk-free exercise. The follwing steps should prove instructive.

1: For a male dog, once daily vigorous testicular massage for a week works wonders.

2: For bitches, five sharp tugs of the tail every other day for a month has proven beneficial in some breeds.

3: Should you have a squeamish stomach and require alternatives, try the following:

a) Starve dog for three days

b) Soak your scrotum in unsalted, raw, ground beef for 27 minutes

c) Bend over in the butterfly position

d) Dangle in front of dog on day 4

e) Call 911

Answer 3

Why don't you just get a gun? I recommend a good shotgun sawed to the legal limit. They're good for in close fighting and not as difficult to handle indoors as an assault rifle or hunting rifle. You could get a bayonette if you're into that sort of thing. Train your dog to stand behind you when your fighting. He can be your backup, sort of like Turner and Hootch.

Answer 4

You could check with the local training center to see if they have classes for personal protection classes. The only thing is is once you have done this you will have to register the dog as a deadly weapon, and if the dog hurts someone you will be sued. Good luck.

Answer 5

In order to teach your dog to be more territorial, I would suggest confining him more. Do not allow him the freedom to interact with people who are visiting, go to the door when someone knocks, or be acknowledge by people on the street when you are walking him. You should also tie him up whenever you let him out in the yard - even if it is fenced. He will soon learn to put his home protection high on the list of priorities by figuring out that it is not a place where you allow people to interact with him.

Answer 6

If you left your dog alone in the house and someone came in while you were out, his instinct should kick in where he feels he has to protect the house. Also if someone where attacking you, he would jump in and help because dogs are in-tuned with their owners and develop a bond. A good way to know, when you are sick, does he seem to know?

Answer 7

Labs are not an aggressive type of dog they are companion dogs and family dogs. Your dog knows who belongs in the yard and who doesn't so let your dog be he will do what is needed and they are really only to warn you of trouble anyway

Answer 8

Most dogs are naturally protective of their families and homes, The only way I know to make a dog more aggressive is to me mean to it and that makes it aggressive against everyone including you.

Answer 9

A dog is either born with the protection instinct or it is not..Most dogs are protective once they reach maturity. Most dogs are not, until they are 18 months to 2 years old.

If your dog is adult, and not protective, he never will be..
there's not much you can do...it is not a learned trait, other than they do learn the attitude from other dogs.

Answer 10

You can't make a dog aggressive, by any good ways. Most of those kind of ways get the dog taken away from you, by animal control.

If there's trouble, your dog will know it and act upon it. That's how my dog is.
