Chapter 1
Guard
dog-what does that mean?
Recently newspapers and television contribute a lot of time to
the problem connected with aggressive dogs. But what is in the
end? On the one hand, boogily-woogily public has received the
impression that under present-day circumstances it is quite a wise
decision to acquire an aggressive dog.
On the other hand, since journalists from time to time inform
about dog attack on people, now many are convinced that all
“aggressive breeds” must be hunted out our cities forever to the
end that innocent victims should not suffer.
However that person who has to do dogs, knows very well: on all
similar situations it is not a dog who is guilty but its
owner.There three things that distinguish a guard dog from just a
malicious dog: breed, ability to behave in public and education.
If you miss even one of these three components, you will have
potentially dangerous animal.
Majority of publications about aggressive dogs contain typically
tracer dog breeds: Rottweiler, German Shepherd Dog and Dobermann-
Pincher. But statistics claims that among the dogs most frequently
hitting on people, the first and the second place belong to
accordingly Cockers and Poodles. At first sight it seems
surprising.
But if to remember that just these two breeds are most popular in
USA, then there is nothing striking at all there. You-know-what,
neither Poodle, nor Cocker is unable to traumatize a person in the
same way how large dog breeds can. That is why you will never hear
about a Poodle biting a child by the face.
But if, instead of the Poodle, there will be, for example, German
Shepherd Dog in this situation, a probability of publicity will
increase gradually. There will be conformations to be pointed out
below, that in such cases dog breed is of no importance. All
depends on selection, proper management and treatment of a dog.
As a rule, guard dog is an amicable and loving creature. Its
nature is balanced, such dog is capable to play with a man and be
attached to him/her the same as any other dog. If there is
something distinguishing these dogs from the others then it is
their very grown instinct of guard of everything they considers to
be theirs.
As well a hunting instinct is well developed in them. The latter
is observed in their passionate desire to chase a ball non-stop or
have a shot at the game “Tag-of- war”. These instincts
require that education of a puppy should take its start in early
puppyhood.
Otherwise these instincts may turn against you if they were not
placed in frames in time.Early in life such dogs try to taste
everything. They bite all and sundry and cannot be blamed for it:
none of dogs is able to become familiar with difference between
valuable things and valueless ones.
Military working dog breeds are apt to fuss about and can bite you
by your clothes, hands, ankles without effort. It must be cut
short. To teach a puppy to behave properly is a most important
component part of all training program.
What guard dogs can do and what
they can’t?
The major task for guard dog is to premonish about possible
aggressor. It is enough for such dog to be present or behave
dangerously being behind the fence of your site, at your home or
in a car. Just the appearance of such dog makes a criminal think
and look for something easier for himself.
However it would be a mistake to suggest that an untrained dog
will become your dependable protector only due to its breed. There
are a plenty of documentarily witnessed cases when Rottweilers,
German Shepherd Dogs, etc allowed thieves enter the house without
obstacles and take away properties and jewelries from there.
Before all, analogical casi are accounted for lack of training. A
dog must be aware of this or that behavior depending on certain
situation and it is to be taught as well as the dog must know to
what things it should respond and which it shouldn’t.
If dog is in the yard, outdoors, than a criminal has the advantage
over the dog: he may start speaking to it tenderly and to attempt
to psych it. If dog will be showered stones on, it will be
searching for a shelter instinctively, like you will act if you
were in the dog’s case. Besides, the dog is unable get to grips
with a criminal when he is on the other side of the fence.
On the contrary, if dog is in the house, then it is already in
advantageous position in comparison with any offender. Here it is
protected by everything it must guard. In order to get to it and
penetrate into the house, a criminal must reveal himself and that
makes the dog’s state more beneficial.
Here is the following case that took place: Mastiff gnawed up an
offender’s hand when this man tried to open a glass door from
within after breaking the glass in it. On returning home,
Mastiff’s owner found this hand lying on the chair near the door.
It is not worth telling that nothing was stolen.
