CHAPTER ONE: How to Teach Your Dog to Protect Your Home

It is said that dogs are man's best companion. Numerous dogs like attention, rewards, and, most importantly, defending their loved ones. While many dogs are wary of strangers entering their homes, other dogs rapidly warm up to them and do not see them as a danger.

When training your dog to defend your house or purchasing a guard dog, there are many factors to consider. The effectiveness of your pet as a guard dog may depend on the dog's obedience, the dog's breed, and your method of training.

Why a person needs a Guard Dog

Protecting your family, house, and personal items is essential to ensuring the safety and security of your family. A guard dog trained to safeguard your property might be advantageous not just for your personal life, but also if you operate a company that requires additional security.

Many home and business owners have security cameras to record any illegal activity, but security cameras alone are insufficient to totally deter burglars. Guard dogs may serve as a frontline defensive system when left alone at a house or business while the owners are away. Guard dogs may also be there when you or your family are unable to respond appropriately.

 

Many individuals who want a guard dog have had a traumatic event in the past in which they felt vulnerable. Whether it was a break-in at your house or business or a sense of unease from being alone, security dogs respond to specific trigger phrases and their own intuition. The presence of a guard dog in your house helps deter prospective burglaries and criminal damage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER TWO: How to Teach Your Dog to Become a Guard Dog

There are several processes involved in training a dog to be a security dog. From fundamental training skills to advanced protective techniques. Following is a step-by-step list of training recommendations.

1st Step: fundamental/basic obedience.

All dogs should possess fundamental obedience abilities. Sit, stay, drop it, and bark on command are fundamental obedience behaviors your dog should master prior to guard dog training and in general.

2nd Step: Impulse control.

After your dog has mastered fundamental obedience abilities, you should begin teaching him impulse control. Dogs should maintain self-control with kind strangers. In the presence of strangers, dogs must be able to sit, stay, and lay down on command.

3rd Step: Teach property boundaries

Training your dog to respect the limits of his area is essential. After each obedience training session, you should walk your dog around your property so he or she learns what they are expected to guard.

4th Step: solo training.

When you have trust in your dog's conduct, you may leave them alone on the property they are tasked with guarding.

5th Step: Test your dog.

Test your dog's training with an individual he or she does not know. When the stranger arrives, allow the dog to remain alone on the property inside the fence border or in the home. The visitor must knock on the fence and front door, and then approach your dog wherever it is.

If the dog has been properly trained, he will bark and announce his arrival. The stranger's role is to seem fearful and flee to alert your dog; they are doing their duties. Have the person who approached your dog describe the dog's behavior after the test is complete.

6th Step: Practice daily.

Continue to evaluate the training of your dog. Reward your dog with a special treat or commend his behavior when he barks correctly at impending dangers.

7th Step: Boost the number of distractions.

Make the stranger a greater annoyance to the dog. The stranger may attempt to distract your dog by making noise and offering it goodies. Any diversions put on your dog should have previously been examined during training to guarantee that they would not leave property guarding duties.

8th Step: Have faith in your dog.
