So you want a Protection Dog...German Shepherd Man explains

[@cammcvittie9004]

I run a business, my gsd protection dog has been very helpful. I travel a lot into some bad city’s and places. If you need a bodyguard, I choose a GSD over a person every day.

[@ItsMeNanaD71]

Let’s be honest. Simply the presence of a German shepherd is likely enough protection. I just got my first German shepherd today, a beautiful 13 week old girl, whom I got because they are a good deterrent. I didn’t get her to turn her into a protector but we are bonding & building loyalty. Hopefully she’s a natural protector but even if she’s not I’m quite positive her presence will be a good deterrent.

[@germanshepherdmanofficialc7598]

No DOUBT they are a deterrent just being with you!!! GSM

never risk your protection if that's what you need it for hoping your dog will just show up in a moment it's never been exposed to.

[@kellyehammers6613]

I just purchased recently another pup to train for protection work from Czech Republic. He is now 8 weeks old. Besides researching the line and the breeder where you decide to purchase your pup at , at such a young age look for the pup that wants to engage with you ie; tug of war, playing chase and is active and confident ie; you know in all litters you have the pup that's scared of everything, isn't confident, won't break away from the litter. Then there's the one that's considered the bully. Gets into everything likes to break away and explore, isn't scared of anything, always breaking the rules. That's the pup you want for protection. It's not a guarantee but at that age those are just a couple of signs to look for. Expect to spend hundred hours in training with your dog and a minimum of $5000.00 it's about average for having your own dog trained in bite work. That is of course if he has the personality and temperament for it. Most places will run a few tests by your dog to see his drive and potential for this type of work. Beware of those places that say they can turn any dog into a protection dog and want your money without even looking at your dog. Just like not everyone has the temperament to be a police officer, not every dog has the traits required for bite work.

[@ShyDog827]

I’ve been working with my pup since he was 10 months old because at the time , it seemed he was suffering from fear aggression . As a pup he would charge everyone with a menacing growl. Very stressful . He wanted Blood of every trainer I took him to. He would Not submit. I was even afraid to take him back from the trainers after watching his ferocity. But he Never unleashed this anger towards me. Always loving. He will be 4 next March and we are understanding each other so much much better now. But as I raise him , I’m learning he is a natural guard dog . Just today on our walk, a man came behind me from nowhere , and my boy tackled him and stood guard over him. He will block others dogs when they approach me at dog parks also. That’s why I’m here today; to learn how to work with my dogs natural instincts and not against them.

[@anaisabelosoy]

Can you explain?? Before I make a mistake in getting one.

[@Brianbrandfas]

@@anaisabelosoy It's about realistic expectations and knowing what you want from the dog. Protection dogs are working dogs. They're not pets. Working dogs present all sorts of challenges for owners from keeping them busy and engaged to maintaining their skills. You should have a long conversation with your breeder and whoever is going to train the dog for you so that you go into it with eyes wide open. In my experience, people with working dogs really just wanted a pet and did not know what they were getting into. Movies love to show a gentle, family dog that turns on a dime into the house defender when the bad guy tries to break in. I don't believe dogs turn on and off like that and I've seen people get them and then want to rehome them because they were protecting all the time and no one, including friends, could even come near them (the person). Dogs, in general, are great deterrents even if not trained in protection. I've had many friends in law enforcement tell me that most criminals ignore houses with dogs because they don't even want to take the chance that the dog is mean. That's always been good enough for me as it allows my dogs to be pets most of the time and not employees. This is all just my opinion. I encourage you to talk to as many people as you can, especially protection dog trainers and people with them (true protection dogs that have been trained for protection, not your neighbor with a GSD who is convinced he would kill a mugger because he barks lol).

[@anaisabelosoy]

Brian Brandfas Thank you for the explanation 😊, I will definitely ask plenty of questions from the breeder.

You hit the nail on the head. To me, you are not really teaching them to protect. That’s an instinct they should already posses. You are teaching them to release and also ya help them to build confidence in their own abilities. That’s why I love shepherds and rotties. Plus they are such good family members when you raise that boy/girl as a member of the family.

That was very insightful and I better understand the friendly comment from a Shutzhund IPO competitor that my rescue GSD girl may not live up to my expectations when I said I wanted to do beginner French Ring with her. She certainly has prey drive and intelligence but that ability to stand like steel in the face of a threat..maybe not so much. Hard to know if she was born that way, I’m her fourth home at only 18mos. GSDs with high prey drive require a lot of physical and mental exercise, do people understand this? That’s why they land in the da*n shelters. I adore my rescue but she needed a highly motivated owner/handler. People who don’t understand this get overwhelmed and eventually surrender them, it breaks my heart to see these wonderful but reactive GSD in the rescues.

He’s right. I own a protection dog and these dogs are bred for this. And even then you can’t guarantee the dog will bite / fight. The must be social , demonstrate solid nerve , posses high prey drive and most of the time when these things are in place you can build the dog and get it to bite/ fight. This also doesn’t change the dog’s personality. It’s no diff than taking your child to learn jujitsu for example. You’re teaching the animal to spar with a human. Now some of the more intense bloodlines come out of the womb biting ( literally). Gotta know the right breeder and trainer.

If I may add to this: In the US the term “protection dog” can mean many things to many different people; and that is not good at all. The word “personal” has been chopped off; that is not good either. Personal Protection Dog (PPD) is the correct term. That being said, a successful and optimally trainer PPD has been conditioned/exposed to and can handle tremendous amounts of what’s known as social pressure: little kids loving and tugging on him, cats, other dogs, chickens, adults of all ages, birds, bicycles, cars, trips to Home Depot, gunfire, flying on a plane, etc. PPD’s are not K9/Military Working Dogs. PPD’s are not perimeter dogs used as deterrents. PPD’s are not Schutzhund (actually IGP now) dogs although they can crossover in that arena. PPD’s are not high drive working GSD’s/Mal’s/Dutchies that will bite a sleeve when they hear “Packen!” PPD’s are highly trained, highly sociallized (to a diversity of stimuli and adverse conditions), and highly obedient... almost to the point of a titled dog in the obedient part of IGP. Anything less is not a true PPD and can and will be a liability when exposed so to speak. Examples of who is excelling in the PPD field in the US: Protection Dog Sales in Kentucky, Gold Coast K9 in CA, Kraftwerk K9 in WA, and Vomberkhaus K9 in MT. There are more out there but that’s who I know.

@@HGTDogTraining Labs can do great in protection work its just hard to find one with the right amount of drive.

[@HGTDogTraining]

I have a personnel protection dog and I'm also a trainer. I have protection dog people all over and none of them have a lab for that kind of work for obvious reasons but everyone is entitled to their own opinion

[@maggiethedruid9010]

@@HGTDogTraining I've met 1 lab that made it as a protection dog. They'd definitely be better off looking at a different breed. It is possible to find one but it won't be easy and they'd be searching for a while.

I wanted to know ways of training my GSD to be fierce with strangers but I don't see the point of the video ..... I only want to know how to train my GSD to be my protector

[@myhairisfullofhair3792]

Too much talking.

[@NoDrizzy630]

He’s telling the basics a video won’t be enough to train for protection. Plus he’s letting you know what to look to know if your dog has the capability for it.

[@lilya1625]

nice video!! i have a question, later in life im planning on buying a dog from a reputable breeder, any tips on how to find one and what to look for??? also im going to be training him/her for personal protection training, how do i find a reliable breeder? if you could get back to me that would be great!

With great respect, and coming from a professional speaker - you will REALLY help deliver your teaching content, through some quality training in public speaking courses. Be well

[@germanshepherdmanofficialc7598]

Thanks for that Vita...GSM

[@ginnierobbins4019]

I think you speak very well publicly and deliver your training with enthusiasm, clear concise instructions and in a professional manner. You couldn't do better! I learn so much from your video's, you're amazing with your dog's too 🙂

im geting a german shepherd and i want to know is he teritorial dog?

[@ZeranZeran]

They can be trained to behave just about any way. Naturally, yes they are territorial, But pretty easy to train them to stop from what I understand.

[@Smappybass]

Learning to become a decoy for a PSA club in Central Ohio. The amount of people that just think their dog will defend them with just basic obedience training is amazing.

[@germanshepherdmanofficialc7598]

Many will bark, but if it gets to FIGHTING they need to have some training for that. GSM

[@senditffh7919]

How can you tell if they have protection drive in them?

[@germanshepherdmanofficialc7598]

The best thing to do is to get a professional to test them. That would be a long answer. GSM

[@jsteele650]

I could almost bet my german shepherd puppy was born with it. He is very aware of his surroundings. Especially at night, he will be right by my side to make sure I am safe. My husband will call our dog and he will stick by my side and won't budge. He is always the last in the door. He herds us inside while walking circles around us to the door. I have another pup I bought at the same time and she has no cares in the world and is laid back. I will ask her what she has in her mouth when she is chewing on things and my german shepherd will immediately go over and take whatever it is out of her mouth and give her a bark as if he is saying, " You know your not suppose to have that!" The german shepherd is just very alert and hears every sound. Barks deeply if he sees someone by our house. It is a totally different bark than when he is inside. He even has a white patch on his chest. We call it his badge...lol. Best dog I ever had! Hands down!

Talent isn't an inheritance based on genes... Talent is nothing but a learned skill

[@germanshepherdmanofficialc7598]

I'm thinking that there has to be inherent talent to operate at a high level in any area...like, in humans, if you want to be PAID to sing there HAS to be the talent for that first then the training. But, hey, you ARE DJI Know It All

[@kristenhumble2826]

Haha this guy is funny

[@mileyvasquez3616]

Quick question how old are your dogs? And how can I get my 5month dog German Shepard to stop jumping on me and my mom when we go outside to see her and to like water it’s very hard to give her a shower.

[@Stephanie.922]

Don't leave the dog outside alone constantly. They need mental and physical exercise daily. And a lot of it. If you got the dog to just stay outside to protect property, and aren't working the dog, and bonding with it....one day it's going to be worse than jumping. Hopefully you got the pup trained by now. Just realized this is an old comment

[@ojs51]

How old is Seargent.

My girl stood between my legs at six months and bite her first, she came from Belgium alot of money and time you at coming in my house, no girlfriends allowed. She does basic obedience but the rest is instinct, soulmate

[@minihanefun661]

Every dog I've ever had has been a protection dog with no training. Treat them well and the protection is automatic; some breeds stronger than others. My Frenchie killed a man coming at me with a machete in Africa. She tore his throat out when she was only 6 months old and he bled to death in jail the same eve.
