Pit Bull Female 1 1/2-2 years old
Answers:
The dog who attacked you was being playful? or you were being attacked and your dog wanted to play? If your dog respects you and sees you as the pack leader it will become automatic to protect you from either another human or a dog.
I would think if you train him to protect, he won't be very social anymore.
Dogs have to be trained to protect.
Get a book or a trainer. You can make lots of mistakes, so get advise from a professional.
Sorry about your troubles, I hope you are OK, but the fact that he was playful means he is a great dog. He should train up nicely.
Strange. Most pits have a natural urge to protect their masters. Was this a real attack or did you stage it to see what she would do? If so, did she know your "attacker"??
I wouldn't worry about "training" her to protect you. I would worry more about creating a bond with her so that she wants to protect you not because she has been trained to.
Anyhow pits are intimidating enough to ward off most attackers. An attacker will usually pick a target that doesn't have a dog, even a small dog, especially a pit. They will go for something easier.
Pit bull dogs are frown upon for aggressive nature-its all crap if you ask me. If you need protection or would feel safer with a dog trained to protect, contact you local Schutzhund group or Club or Schutzhund USA. Contact me via messaging and I can give you more information on the sport, it will take time and training on your part. check out www.birchcoveboxers.clearwire.. and select the schutzhund icon, you'll see sweet Tenners going to work.
I would guess that alot depends on the type of dog you are training too. If your dog attacks someone, you can be sued also.
Sorry that you were attacked without protection.not a good thing. No matter if you have a dog with you or not ALWAYS carry mase.or.something else for your defense.
To allow your dog to reach his/her full potential and protect you as it would be natural to.please DO NOT overly pamper! That should solve a lot of problems!!
CONTACT A COMPETENT TRAINER!
This is NOT - repeat NOT - a Do-It-Yourself project.
You can NOT do it from a book or a video!!
You must have absoute 100% control of a protection dog and the dog must be 100% reliable.
Start with the Shutzhound folks. Search for a group on the web.
The dog may no be suitable for that. She may have be low on fight and high on the pack score. Its not the breed so much as the individual dog's personality. I have worked with incredible protection trained GOLDENS! I've woked with GDSs afraid of their own shadow and total cowards and only desirious of pets and hugs.
