Guard dog training and attack dog training is a serious business, so be sure to choose a qualified dog trainer. There is a big difference between a dog trainer that only demos dog training and their own trained dog, and a dog trainer that shows dog training on dogs that have been trained by their clients under supervision.

Attack dog training, if carried out properly, is very useful in personal protection. However the dog should still use his own initiative, if situations arise where the handler has been injured and cannot give a command. I do not have experience in training dogs to guard people or attack or guide people and will not pretend that I do. I also have very little experience in training dogs to behave like a trained circus animal.

Many of the now prominent guardian breeds such as Rottweilers started as farm dog types but then developed over many years into guard breeds. Some breeds, such as the Weimaraner and Rhodesian Ridgeback were originally bred for hunting, but their large intimidating look and territorial instincts have helped them evolve into guard dogs in today's society. Also many of the now prominent guardian breeds such as rottweiler started as multipurpose dogs but then developed over many years into guardian breeds.

Others like Dobermans were specifically designed as guards.If you happen to be one of those people who really do not have a lot of experience training dogs then you should make sure that you have something to walk you through the process. The best thing you can get is a dog training book. How to train dog to attack is a lengthy detailed process. If a person were to come up and attack the owner out of the blue, the dog has to act out of his own initiative. Dog training is an ongoing process that occurs during specified training sessions and through the rest of every dog's day. The lessons taught during dog training times should be reinforced at all times.

One major mistake many pet owners make is to assume that training a dog will be over in a short span of time, but in reality dog training is often a life-long process. Be consistent with your training commands - when you're teaching a dog a command, you must decide ahead of time on the verbal cue you're going to be giving her, and then stick to it.
