I have a 9 month old GSD and am curious at what age i can start his personal protection and muzzle fighting work. I know he will bite because we have performed the character tests as well as some pre-sleeve training at home. I've never owned pups. Before, i only bought fully trained dogs but my grandfather left me this dog when he died a couple months ago so I kept him and tested him and he seems to be born for the work. Any one know at what age Helpers are willing to start training? I've owned and handled dogs with various titles to include Schutzhund, KNPV, and Ringsport so i'm not worried about the work.

the reason i want muzzle fighting is because my wife and young son take him out on the days when I work late. She will be concerned with my kid while the dog keeps the guy/girl on teh floor until help arrives. Oh, and personal protection does not make a dog mean. In fact, it does the opposite because a degree of obedience is necessary before starting any type of protection work and even more is implemented when the training begins. If you don't know about truely training dogs, please dont' answer only opinions.

i'm not sure who or what you are talking about me asking a similar question before. It is possible however, that I left my account signed on and someone asked a question. I personally ahve never trained dogs but i have been a handler in the events and owners. There is a difference between being a handler and a trainer. I will investigate the acqusation about an earlier question however. I appreciate you bringing that to my attention.

tripforyou, let me thank you for brining this issue into light. As stated earlier, my eldest son seems to be at a point where he thinks he is older than he really is. He thinks he can ask ans speak however and whenever he wants. Believe me when I say I will handle this matter personally. To clearify, i did not ask this question earlier. I have found who did and in what manner and words they did. I appologize to anyone who answered the previous question and was offended by the response of my son. To all those that did answer this question, thank you. Your input and opinions are welcomed though not always agreed with. This situation will be handled ASAP.

Talk with the peole in your rea who handle the Shutzhund training they should be able to point you in the right direction.
And at 9 months your dog should already be training.

Just like the last time you asked, you are proving that you are in no way qualified to train a protection dog. Please do not do it. You have NO IDEA what you are doing or you would NEVER ask such questions. Your dog is already fearful of people (as per your last question) He has FAILED the behavioal pre-test because of this and should NOT be trained as a protection dog. Service dogs, expecially those working in police or protection fields are HEAVILY screened BEFORE training begins... you can't take a random pup and train it for protection, that's just not how the system works...
If you really want him trained, go to a professional... missing what seems like a small nuance can turn your 'executive protection' dog into a man killer.
You have not trained Schutzhund or KNPV dogs or you would not be so ignorant to ask these questions. Please don't do it. Nobody that has the training to answer your questions would ever answer you anyway, they know better...

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aL1Ne
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Let me get this straight. You are training a fighting dog? If you're talking about retrieval and tracking, I'd start ASAP, but the muzzle fighting thing...unless you are a police officer, is that not a bit much for a pet?

my view is if your dog is treated well by you and the family if you need protecting it will protect you when it needs too!!! does not need to be trained up.

All we need is another mean dog...
Just to let me know if your dog gets loose, and goes after me and my family, I will kill it.
