Yep, that was a useless video. Take the sleeve off the guy and act like he does with the untrained dogs (walk over and carry the child away) and see what happens.
Those untrained dogs look like random females, and they probably didn't even know the kid. I know my dogs will protect me. In fact, this weekend I was in a hotel room and the clerk slid my receipt under the door at 5 am and all my dogs went into either alarm or attack mode. My Laekenois would definitely protect. If you are curious, take the ATTS temperament test. atts.org |

I don't need a dog to engage an intruder, but many intruders would be deterred by a large GSD in the home or yard. If protecting means barking and just bein a presence, then yes, my dog(s) will do that job. I guarantee, if someone's breaking in, I will not rely on any of my dogs, or even a trained GSD, to "protect", I will be hauling out my .38 while dialing 911. This video is extremely biased anyway and those dogs were cowering before the man even approached The pics where they introduced these dogs made them seem quite intimidated by whatever was going on even prior to the "action". |

Don't know if my 'untrained' dogs would go the limit, but Sofie would put the fear of the lord in a stranger.
If I were being threatened with a weapon and had a dog trained in protection, I'd hope he'd go for something other than a sleeve  Long, short, no dog has much of a chance against a gun. I know just the presence of my dogs are a deterrent to the average ne'er do well.

What about the instincts of a GSD?
In many cases, a dog may sense the fear or nervousness of its owner, and react. This was nothing more than a bad commercial. If someone ever walked over and grabbed the handler of most GSDs, I believe most dogs would react differently. |

Uhg, I hated watching that video. That is such a terrible experiment... not even going to repeat what some people already mentioned.

OMG! I feel so bad for those last 3 dogs. They have NO idea what is going on. In the pictures before the demonstration they even look terrified.
