From Simple Dogs to Guard Dogs - How Guard Dog Training is Done?

Recommended Answer:
Yep, and in many cases the information is worth every penny of it.

As to book titles ... Go to the library and invest an hour or so glossing over several or many. Then consider these two things:

1: Which appeals to your personal comfort; and
2: Does it address any specific issues of concern to you.

When you find the one that best elicits a "nailed it" on BOTH counts, that's the one to start with. It may not be, however, the right one ... but you will learn that as you go along.

Should you find that you made an incorrect choice (the training as instructed is not effectvely changing your dog's behaviour to suit your needs) don't beat yourself up. It does not mean that you are not doing it right, nor that your dog is not responding ... it just means it ain't working.

Place a call to several local trainers and ask for help. Be sure to describe, best you can, any specific issues of behaviour you need dealt with and then ask yourself:

1: Which trainer appeals to your personal comfort; and
2: Does the trainer have experience addressing specific issues of concern to you.

Now you've found (hopefully) a more experienced pair of hands and eyes to help you with the rough spots.
