Hmm no over reaction i am sick of people thinking a dog is a weapon or there to be weaponised , would you teach your child how to attack and injure a person ,see this is why we have so many irresponsible dog owner .Mortblanc wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 4:10 pmI hate it when people over react to every suggestion.steptoe wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 11:51 amHi why is it the wrong dog and why train a dog to attack or defend .
My point on this is my german shepard he was so soft he ran away fro ma moth and cried when he got lost in the woods and parted from us , he was very soft to the point he and his brother where returned to the breeder because he would not attack , he would not hold a soft toy in his mouth he would juggle it and would never grip , and it was funny he only every twice showed a bad side the first 2 years of owning him making him 3 he would not bark , one day the neighbour on our allotment walked close to him in a flat cap and barbour jacket and he growled and then again at a park one day a man in a flat cap and barbour jacket was close and he growled , hmmm now we know the people that took them tried to trai nthem to attack and when they would not returned them they were for want of a better word hooray henrys , now since our boy died we have looked to get another and i have been offered so many and then it turns out thye are failed police dogs that get the a point and fail some on the ablity to hold some on the the other things now think if you have this trained dog and you take it to a park and left it off the lead and a kid runs past arms waving are you sure that dog will not revert to it's training and run and grab the arm and drag the kid down now do you see why i say WHY train the dog to defend , also if you train a dog to defend and it attacks and you can not control that attack you could find yourself in hot water defence train dogs are a weapon and should not be so eays to buy for the public .
Sorry i hate it when people see dogs as nothing more than a defence or attack tool it is and should be a family member first and formost
You expressed a concern, made a comment about your dog, I offered a suggestion. If you don't like it don't take it.
No need to make me out a villain for suggesting that a dog can and will protect its pack as a natural behavior. It is one of the reasons they were the first animal we domesticated them 30,000 years ago.
Sorry but you are the one putting forward train a dog to defend you which would mean teaching the dog to attack and have you seen what happens when a dog gets out of control by inexperienced owners like katie price for one , if you do not know how to control that dog when it does attack you have no chance of stopping that said attack , just look in the news lately hmmm how many fatal dog attacks and not just on young children i bet all those people never throught a dog could do it but again if a dog is then trained ot attack i point you to the then inexperience own has a lethal weapon at hand .
Sorry but a DOG is not there for use as a weapon unless train and handle by a fully trained dog handerler , you do know that you could be arrested and prosicuted should that said dog attack a person when out , sorry i get sick of this type of silly comment over dogs our german shepard was taken by people that wanted to make him attack him and his brother and when they wouldn't they just wanted them gone nice how people can be so impassionate about and animals life
) It sound's unthinkable. 
and what a lovely response you gave him.
