The Right Way to Use Electronic Dog Training Collars

the answerers have this correct.

I am oldtimer and can tell you the guard dogs of old are G O N E almost forever,

years ago just about every dobermann was full of attitude and gsds were dynamite, now they are pussycats, this is because breeders changed the genetics of EVERY dog bred in this country.

if a dog bites twice he is exterminated... and dogs with guarding instincts dont kiss intruders to keep them at bay. and law suits also contribute to breeders only breeding dogs without purpose.
police departments in this country some years back couldnt find suitable dogs for their work (imports cost tens of thousands of dollars, they come from czech and other east europe countries)
the cops now breed their own.

Dog Training Fundamentals

• You don't just get a dog trained in protection, protection trainers evaluate the dogs from when they are puppies to see if they have the right drive, attitude and soundness to be trained.
  If you are serious then you need to call around some trainers in your area and have the dogs evaluated, remember very few dogs have what it takes to be protection dogs.
  To train one is thousands of dollars


• Yeah, you don't take a pet and turn it into a personal protection dog. I thought it was in the neighborhood of $20K, but I may be mistaken too. I don't think this is something that's available in every state either, possibly just a few places in the US. I'd just try googling it, or move to a better neighborhood if your daughter's safety is in question


• well first, your dogs would have to have the proper drive for that type of work.. odds are, they do not.
  
  As I understand, it costs over $50K to get a REAL personal protection trained dog.
