If you’ve ever wanted your furry friend to become a reliable line of defense, this guide will give you and your family the safety they deserve.
To complete this How-To you will need:
Patience
Positive energy
A professional trainer
Warning: Trained guard dogs are not infallible and can be a liability. Be prepared to accept full responsibility for your pet and understand the risks associated with owning such an animal.
Step 1: Select the best dog
Select a breed that has a calm temperament, good socialization, and will watch your property without being distracted.
Step 2: Practice basic obedience
Practice basic obedience based on trust and mutual respect. Teach your dog to respond to your commands the first time, without hesitation.
Step 3: Educate to respond to strangers
Teach your dog to respond to strangers by barking and alerting a family member. Reward them with a treat or toy.
Tip: Only the owner should offer commands and reward with treats.
Step 4: Expose to all family members and friends
Expose your dog to all family members and friends, including young children in the neighborhood.
Step 5: Train your dog to attack
Train your dog to attack clothing and appendages without being lethal when your family or property is threatened.
Tip: Post a “Beware of Dog” sign to alert visitors and reduce the danger of an accidental attack.
Step 6: Seek professional help
Invest in years of training. A competent guard dog cannot be trained without years of professional guidance. Do not do this alone.

My dog Buddy is a natural protector. He is mostly beagle and partly English foxhound. whenever my grandpa pretends to hit me Buddy barks and jumps on my grandpa and tries to nip to leave me alone and when my grandpa backs down (he doesn’t do anything it’s all fake when he hits me it is just a light touch) Buddy comes over and snuggles with me. AND THE DOG IS SO CUTE IN THE VIDEO!
