Interesting Video - Will my Untrained dog Protect Me? - Page 4

konashepherd · 02-22-2012, 01:17 PM

A very very biased video. First three dogs, the guy was wearing a mask and a sleeve and coming towards them very menacingly. Last three dogs he just walked up to them like a normal person would do. I'm sorry but if my dog just attacked someone that was walking up to me without showing signs of danger then I did a bad job of training my dog. Horrible video

also my dog isn't trained to attack but a very protective dog. If he sees somebody that he doesn't know he automatically goes into protective mode, if there wasn't a door blocking him he would be chasing them down the street.

I didn't like that the 3 "non-trained" dogs did not get the same presentation as the first 3.
Also hated the fact that all of dogs looked overweight, but I'm kind of picky about that

.

It IS a kid's school project, though, so take the whole thing with a grain of salt. You know her teacher was like "Um, ok, here's your grade. Now let's hear about Madison's trip to Disneyworld.".

Fail. 1) The trained dogs are trained to bite someone in a sleeve. 2) The untrained dogs are not her dogs. I wouldn't put money on a strange dog protecting me (trained or not). 3) The girl was not scared. The man was not angry. These play a huge factor in whether or not a dog is going to protect you.

I wasn't overy impressed with the trained dogs.

The others were way to fearful. Nope. Couldn't give me any of them.

I've got two german shepherds named, .40 cal and another named .45 cal. They don't bite, but it will be the last bark someone hears if they attack me.

My two german shepherds are not trained in protection, they kind of look to me for protection, but when my wife is with them by herself, they get protective. I think it's all bark right now, but who knows, maybe they would protect. They just act differently when they are around me.

I always do wonder if these breeds would come to the rescue in a real situation even untrained. All I care at this point that they are obedient and good friends. All I need to hear is a bark in my house at night and I got it from there. lol.
