how doi get my dog to protect me if a stranger comes come and wont leave????

Question

how would i teach him how to attack????

Answer 1

You don't. A dog will naturally protect it's owner if in trouble. Never train a dog to attack or it may attack unprovoked and become too territorial.

If you and your dog bond it will be an instinct to protect you when you are afraid or hurt. Or about to be hurt.

Answer 2

First of all, what kind of dog do you have? Second of all, maybe one dog out of 200 will qualify for the job of personal protection. Third, and worst of all, do not listen to people that tell you that their dog will protect them and the dog knows when someone is being good and bad and all that crap. What all of these so-called natural protectors will do is run away to save their lives from a strong threat. That has been proven time and again. Protection training is a serious project and few people are qualified to teach it. Protection ttraining DOES NOT turn your dog into a killing machine like a lot of people here would have you believe. It does make the dog more predictable in certain situations, it DOES make your dog capable of protecting you, it DOES allow you to call your dog off on command and it makes the dog easier to live with. I have never had a dog that was not formally protection trained and I can say from first hand experience that I have never had an accident or any form of lawsuit brought against me. I have had piece of mind. Have your dog evaluated by a competent trainer and see if he can do the job. Good luck to you. Email me privately and I can see if I know someone that I can reccomend in your area.


Volki31. There is a huge difference between what you call protection and what I call protection. NO DOG that has not been formally trained can offer the level of protection that a trained dog will. And while I am at it, let me state that ANY TIME I talk about a dog, I am ALWAYS assuming that the other person understands that we are talking about a PROPERLY selected dog. There are some dogs that will do protection, naturally, but you could not live with a dog like that. I am not interested in a dog that will bark and growl in defense, I AM interested in a dog that will put an all out assault in protecting me or my family should the need arise.

Answer 3

Well, i think that if you treat your dog very well, and become its best friend and make sure that it knows you will always be there for it, you can even tell it that, then when the time comes he will protect you. If you have a good relationship with your dog, the protecting part comes naturally. If you train it to attack it could turn on you and hurt you, or someone you dont want it to. You never want to train a dog to be mean, not even if its innocent. Just be good to it and it will be good to you.

READ "OCEAN GIRLS" she is right on, and says better then me. Oh Miniture Schnauzer RULE !!!
You can go to classes for that. But your better off getting a gun.
But what I think you mean is. Will your dog protect you? See my would protect me and my Wife even at 3 Months. He is 5 months now. What happened was my mother in law just walked in the house, and scared my wife. Well my puppy ran from where he was and started growling until she was backed out of the house. My wife now knows what do if he does that again. She just never had a dog that loyal. See you can't train that. Unless you want a viscous unpredictable animal. My dog is 20lb Schnauzer, that is awsome with kids. The only people he bites is me and my wife. Because he knows he will be looking for a new home if he bites anyone else. This protective nature is from spending time with your dog. When I am home he does not leave my side. Plus this bond definitely prevents other dogs from attacking you while your taking him for a walk. Just last week I was at the beach and a dog came running up and started growling with his hair up. My Schnauzer barked and growled back. That dog turned around and left. It was like he said. "Ya you know what happened to last dog?" This is not one on one. My master going to fight too." I swear because it was a black lab twice the size of puppy. Plus soon as I thought it was for real I let my dog off the leash., and circled to get myself so that I could kick it in the ribs while my dog had its attention.

I did not want say this but for a rebudlle to GREEKMAN. I got rid of a good Pitbull/labs mix. Don't worry she has a good home. But we got attacked one day by another Pitbull and she ran for her life. She did same thing my wife. I could not believe it because I grew up with 3 legged 12Lb Poodle that would fight for me. But any that bond of trust was lost with the PIT/LAB mix. I just could not stand her anymore, and she was a well trained dog. Just had no heart.

Answer 5

Believe it or not but dogs need to be conditioned to attack on command.

If you train a dog in aggression training there is more controls over how a dog uses his aggression. The control MUST be installed. An Attack dog is a weapon and only those who can handle that weapon should have it. And be licensed to own it.

Answer 6

Trained properly, guard dogs can be of any breed and can be perfectly safe to be around until a trained code word or signal is given.
This is not something you shuold do on your own without a training background. Contact dog training professionals in your area and find out if they have classes on personal protection training.

Answer 7

Have you yet had an experience where you let someone in and they wouldnt leave? Learn from it. Don't open your door to strangers. I once saw a quote on this website that I liked. It said, "Do you want a weapon or a pet because you'll have one or the other?" I second that motion.

Answer 8

You can take classes where you'll learn to train your dog to do this, but since I work with aggressive dogs, I really think you'd be better off getting a dog that is friendly but merely looks fearsome.

It's so easy for dogs to learn to be aggressive inappropriately. I wouldn't risk it.

Answer 9

Get a burglar alarm. There are lot's of better ways to be safe and stay protected than training your dog to attack people in my opinion.

Answer 10

There is this stuff out on the market called pepper spray. Use that instead of send you pet out to do your dirty work. If you try to train it on your own you will most likely dome up with an unstable dog.
