Home/Family Protection Dog vs Police/Military Dog - Page 3

I've seen and worked numerous dogs coming in the US to be police K9....some make it some don't...haven't seen anything that impresses me....German Shepherd or Mal wise. Did see one nice sable shepherd bitch that was nice in protection and agile as hell....it ain't easy to find a good partner:-)

Bitework is about 10% of a good police dog....actually scent work is the strongest use for police work to include patrol dogs.

Along with scent work, I understand a big chunk of the use of a police dog is acting as a deterant, correct? They stopped airing where I live, but there was a program showing the Minneapolis-St Paul police k9 unit, the bad guys would very often freeze as soon as the dogs entered stage. 

 Hi,

 What are the exercises or training programme that is required for home /family protection.
 i. e.a) intruders climbing over the fence into the compound.
      b) Forced entry into the house etc.  What other specific exercises is required?
 Where can I find it on the net.?
 What would a green dog that has the requirments and has been through basic training cost ?

 Thank you kindly

i wouldnt start with having a man jump over your fence you start with a good pp trainer then eventually when your dog is ready you start testing it around your house in real life situations, the exercises you talk about seem like tests. You build a dog to that kind of level.


a green dog is a dog that has a basic foundation a good starting foundation in bite work usually done in prey some touched in defense already, also again depends and has been raised properly 3k-7k depending on age lines is it breeding quality or not many diff factors play into this.


a lot people are going to try to rip you off they will sell you something and you will think it is good and u will get a nerve bag, a lot of personal protection trainers out there are scammers also and will try to selll you a dog and or try to take as much money from you as possible without working you and your dog the right way.

Obedience, obedience, and obedience. If you don't have this you have a big problem. You can't find it on the internet. You need to locate a good trainer in your area that can train you and your dog at the same time. Never have someone come over the fence. I don't mean any disrespect but I can tell by your questions that you will both need help. Dogs are available at reasonable prices. Check Blackbull k9, he has a nice started young dog that looks to have a lot of potential. But training will never stop. good luck

Only difference is that a police dog has a frequent buyer card at the local donut shop.

IMO a good personal protectiondog starts with the natural abilities of the dog , from which I think they are around fewer and fewer , many dogs offered as PP dogs are not up fort the job , but most never have to proove themselves as their  presence will do the job ,you only have a problem if the bad guy decides to go one step further

A good dog you dont need to give a command to bite , only to out

bitework and obedience are the only thing I participate in....though I do like that tracking better than schutzhund! My thought was more on the stability aspect...can he mantrail along a train track while train is going by...:-)...track a man into a dark building...
