Default Re: Anyone have a personal protection dog?

Though I do agree that it is not hard to train a dog to bite if one did desire. But, I do not feel that its a good idea. When training a dog for protection work, you are litleraly creating a weapon. If the dog is not trained properly it can work against rather then with you. Personally, I would not build a handgun, nor would I train a dog to bite, either are too much liablilty from my standpoint. I've always had a nack with dogs, I've never had a hard time training one, or handling one. And at the end of the day, I would feel much safer know the person that trained the dog has been doing it for 20 or 30 years as opposed to me who read a book or watched a couple of videos.

I wish I could have afforded to send my Akita or Germ SHep to one of those schools though........
