    Sorry had to make that 2 posts. The idea is to have a display without creating liability. Imagine how it looks from the other end. Dog takes up a position between someone's legs and starts barking its fool head off. You want to really take a chance with that? Its not bite training however its something and most people will think twice about messing with you and your "crazy barking Shepherd"

    Then build it just like you did with the barks. Dog looks tough, you've got them close to you and its not bite trained.

    This keeps the dog close to you so you have control, and your not trying to focus its attention on any one person or to come out to the end of the leash.

    However she's not bite trained so its not like she's a liability either. Practice doing this on walks, and lots of different places so she's comfortable doing it whenever you ask for it.

    If the bad guy is going to coming through a barking dog, he's going to come through a biting dog too. So its really a mute point.

    Hope this helps.

    I'd honestly train her to bark independently of anything. Just bark on command. Same with a stop barking command. Its literally "Speak". Then you build the bark so she learns to bark more than once.

    Alternatively when your not teaching that you teach the "location" command. Call it whatever you want. The dog takes up a position between your legs facing out (the same way you are) so its standing between your legs. .

    Then you put them together. "Location" so the dog goes into that position between your legs and soon as the dog gets there then its "speak" and the dog barks, you reward.
