Trained vs. untrained dogs protecting you
Figured this video might be interesting to some.
The girl is in 6th grade and does a project to determine whether an untrained dog will protect you just as well as a trained dog. Yes, all the dogs "tested" are GSDs. Personally I really do think it boils down to the dog and the bond they have with the handler/family. Zena was by no means trained for anything when we adopted her. She knew basic manners that I taught her and she still protected my family. What do you think?

I noticed that all the untrained dogs looked nervous (lip licking, submissively holding their bodies low). Even in the head shots before the "attack".
Those untrained dogs won't protect anything. I think that the statement, "A non trained do will not protect you" is a very general statement. Another interesting thing . . . the "trained" dogs are all males, the "untrained" dogs all female (I think, judging by names).

i agree and i have to say i'm glad i'm not the only one who noticed. The untrained dogs all reminded me of how a foster i had would act if someone rang our doorbell. Cowering and nervous. It really does depend on the dog. Riley will act big and bad but i wouldnt count on him to do much more than puff up. Shasta... well i've never heard her growl and i dont think she'd do much at all. Zena would have ripped someone to pieces. I'm hoping my next dog, untrained, will protect is necessary but i also dont want to have to find out either.
