Guard dog classes?


Ja  Rhule

Recommended Posts

I got a German shepherd puppy who is extremely nice, he will lick any stranger to death. We originally got him to be more of a guard dog but its not working out. I'm thinking to put him thru classes to make him more territorial at home. Any ideas? Or will he get more territorial as he grows? He's 4 months old and weights about 45lbs. He loves barking at strangers but will lick them if gets near em.

Shepherds are very territorial.  He's still a pup, give him a few more months (we had a scary territorial/aggressive shepherd).  Nothing wrong with barking at a stranger but not biting for goodness sake.  Any smart person would see the dog and head the other way.  which is what you want right? (thinking of someone breaking into your house for ex).

my german shepherd mix ...MIX...will let the person know who rings the doorbell that she's there...

 

they get more territorial the older they get ...you don't need classes for that... get classes for obedience if anything...my girl is highly intelligent though..easily trainable and very sweet...please don't train your dog to potentially attack people....if you're that nervous about break ins...get an alarm system

dog I have now is about 75 and his bark is fearsome. He runs away from people once they are in the house tho. He and our other dog bark like crazy when the doorbell rings.

Cop came by the house once and told us we'd never have a problem with break-ins "they'd just skip your house". lol

    • For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled. 
    • This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.
    • The NFC South was so bad it sent a team with a losing record to the Playoffs that year. Wilks had players playing hard at the end but let’s not act like that was a good season. That season hurts even more now that we see in hindsight how good our QB situation was. We just didn’t know it.
