Having a well-trained protection dog can enhance your safety and protect you and your family against potential dangers. Additionally, the strong bond you build with your dog, rooted in loyalty and trust, can make your home more secure and serve as an effective deterrent.
Training a reliable protection dog is a process that requires experience and professionalism. Contrary to what some may think, it does not start with bite work but with proper training and socialization—it’s very important for the dog to stay controlled and obedient in social settings, like a cafĂ© or communal living areas. People who don’t prioritize building a good relationship with their dog and neglect obedience training may start with bite work prematurely and can permanently harm their dog’s temperament. Bite training should begin only when the dog is physically and mentally prepared. Sometimes, there are misunderstandings about a dog’s suitability for protection training. Often, people assume that dogs from protective breeds will undoubtedly be able to complete this specialized training. However, this belief is not accurate, and a dog’s suitability for such training should be tested before proceeding.
