Protection training is the formalisation of the natural aggressive instinct of the dog through
specific repetitive exercises."
In other words we train the dog to protect you by, developing it's natural aggression and it's desire to chase things using confidence building exercises. At no time are the dogs subjected to overwhelmingly fearful situations. Their minds are developed to believe that they can win any fight. You can not do this using fear tactics, it must be with confidence. The dogs are not hurt when trained correctly. There are so called
"trainers" out there who abuse dogs to make them savage and they shouldn't be allowed to draw breath (my opinion). But the owner should check the credentials and the experience of the trainer before any training is started.
This aspect of dog training is always a contentious issue. Any good trainer should be able to demonstrate the proper use of a protection dog. They should also be able to switch their dog from calm and friendly to a controlled and formidable defender
and then back to calm and friendly. A dog trained through fear will not be able to do this. The dog has been used by man for this type of work for thousands of years. So it is obvious that the dog has a natural ability to do this work. The reason why the dog will or will not be successful with protection training lies in its temperament. We do not train just any dog in protection work although it can be any breed or even a cross breed dog or bitch. Your dog must have the right temperament and drive to begin protection training. We will firstly assess your dog for suitability before any training begins. These tests for suitability are done while you are there so you can watch and we do not physically or mentally harm your dog in any way |
