Protection Dog Training - Vicious Animal or Family Pet?
Guard Dog - A dog that is trained to guard an area. Guard dogs are often used on estates, warehouses, or open areas that need guarding. Guard dogs may or may not be good with people and may or may not have obedience training. Police Patrol Dog - A dog that is trained to work chasing down criminals. They are trained to be used on the offensive.Protection Dog - A dog that is trained to be used first and foremost as a defensive deterrent. A protection dog is trained to show aggression on command and turn off on command. A protection dog is trained to attack on command or if the aggressor is not deterred by the show of aggression. A protection dog has high levels of obedience training. So now let me return to the original statement.
Does training a protection dog make him vicious? I understand why many people would assume this. After all, you are training a dog to show aggression, bite a person, and do what is necessary to combat a human. Protection dog training does not, however, make a dog vicious. There are several styles and methods for protection dog training. At its root, however, there are two instincts, or drives, that protection dog trainers harness time and time again to achieve results. Let’s examine them.
Prey Drive Prey drive is a drive that most dogs possess, not just protection dogs. A Labrador retriever chases a tennis ball because of prey drive. The local mongrel chases a car because of prey drive. Essentially, prey drive is a dog’s desire to chase and capture a fast moving object.
Nothing vicious about it. A good protection dog trainer will harness this drive to teach a puppy to chase a rag.

Travel Pre and Post InternetTravel Pre and Post InternetAuthor: Anthony Francis Title: Travel: Pre and Post Internet. By: The Nomad Travel Pre Internet: I've been travelling for over 40 years - by thumb in my early days, by boots in the Scouts, a Lambretta came next and then my first old banger followed by newer old bangers to the beaches of the Costa Brava. My thumb, boots, bikes and bangers took me all over Europe and the UK before finding that a charter flight to Spain on an old 'Connie' could get me to the beaches and bars a lot quicker and allow more time to enjoy the local travel opportunities by horse and cart and the occasional bus and train. 'Go West and Prosper' seemed to be a good idea so instead of taking an 8 hour flight I took an 8 day transatlantic crossing from Tilbury to Montreal on the Stephan Batory of Polish Ocean Lines ensuring that jet lag did not trouble my travel plans. |
