Review of Twenty-Two Questions & Answers About Buying And Owning A Personal Protection Dog

Twenty-Two Questions & Answers  About Buying And Owning A Personal Protection Dog For 
You And Your Family.

"We practice with our firearms.  We take our guns to the range.  We  make sure they don't jam, and if they do jam with regularity, we sell them... "

"Yet every year, hundreds of thousands of dog owners assume that their untrained, untested dog will help defend them against a bad guy.  Most will be sadly disappointed.  Here's why..."

Article By Adam G. Katz, Founder of South Bay K-9 Academy and Dogproblems.com

February 14, 2006.

Imagine that it's late at night.  You're home alone when you suddenly hear the sound of breaking glass downstairs... Your canine companion however, continues to slumber at the foot of your bed. 

"Great," you think to yourself, "Somebody just broke into my house and Fido won't even wake up!" 

You give Fido a nudge as if to say, "Go on boy... go check it out!"

He finally jumps to attention when you start to hear the shuffle of the intruder's feet as he starts to make his way toward the bottom of your staircase.  

Thankfully, Fido runs down the steps, boldly managing a high-pitched bark... when suddenly...

<SMACK!>

... Fido runs back into your bedroom with his tail between his legs, whimpering.

The footsteps keep coming...


You think to yourself: 

"Oh, %@#$%!"  This isn't happening!  

This SHOULD NOT be happening!!!  

I bought a German Shepherd/ Rottweiler / Doberman to prevent this type of thing from happening!!!" 

But guess what? It is happening.


And it happens to a lot of people. 

"If You Think That Buying A Guard Dog Breed-- Without Training Or Proper Selection-- Is Going To Be Enough To Protect You And Your Family... You're Playing Russian Roulette With Your Personal Safety." 

A similar scenario happened to a friend of mine, several years ago.  She was raped-- in her own bed by a man who broke into her house-- while her large, untrained German Shepherd dog laid passively at the foot of her nightstand-- in conflict (and not knowing how to respond).  It's called "bite inhibition"... and most dogs are born with it.

It happens.  And it probably happens with a lot more frequency than you might expect.  

So, what can you do to prevent yourself from having false confidence in a dog you already own?  And what should you do if you're looking to buy a personal protection dog?  Please read on...

 

"Adam's knowledge of protection dogs helped me pick out a Doberman Pinscher 
that later SAVED MY LIFE!" 
-- Bill Embley, San Antonio, Texas.

"While remodeling a house in Houston, Texas, a bald-headed thug with a tattoo on his neck entered the house where I was working.  He thought I was alone.  But my Doberman surprised him, cornered him, and wouldn't let him move.  He threw up his hands and said, 'Just let me out of here, just let me out!'  I didn't know if he had a weapon, so I had my Doberman stay in front of me as I instructed the thug to run out the side gate. I then called the police. "

"Unbelievably, they were able to set up a perimeter and caught the guy, only three blocks away.  They had to wrestle him to the ground, and ended up booking him for resisting arrest, possesion of narcotics and trespassing.  Needless to say, that evening 'Cash' [the Doberman] ate filet mignon!" 
-- Bill Embley and his Doberman Pinscher, Embley's "Cash"  Tool-Rider" 

 


Hi.  My name is Adam Katz and I am the founder of South Bay

Question #8:  "What are the puppy tests-- and also the tests I should do on an adult dog, to determine if the dog I'm considering has a good disposition for personal protection?"  I have several tests I use on dogs, depending on what their job will be and also what the owner's personality is like.  Join now to learn what tests you should give to the dog you're considering-- and to yourself-- to know if you and your prospective dog will make for a good "fit."
