Personal protection attack dog training video of a 7 month old German
Shepherd/ Belgian Malinois mix puppy. Although this dog isn't old enough
to do real guard dog work it is being prepared to do real protection
work... sort of like sending a child to karate class. He will finish
guard dog training at about 18 months old. Quality protection dog
training takes patience, respect, and knowledge. If a dog is trained
with yelling and intimidation...how do you expect them to do protection
work on a yelling man? Beware of people who sell sport dogs (aka
schutzhund trained dogs) as "personal protection dogs. Sport dogs are
trained to look pretty doing specific protection routines on a training
field and may be confused in a real situation when there is not a bite
sleeve or protection suit to bite. Also these types of protection dogs
are trained to take stick hits instead of avoiding them and attcking
that arm. This is because you can't hold the stick with an arm within
sleeve and schutzhund is a sport that is meant to prove a dogs bravery
and show they are worthy of breeding, therefore they are trained to take
stick hits that are always used with a stick that won't really hurt the
dog and are always hit on safe spots of the body. This is setting the
dog up for failer when they must fight a person for real that is
planning on hitting them in the head with an iron bar.
