Hi there yall.

Im wondering if anyone here could give me a couple of tips on how to train my dog to be more of guard dog.
Dont worry, i dont got a chiuaua, got me a German shepard X Dobersman.
And shes 6 months old, but the thing is, shes too damn happy and nice.
She just gets happy when she sees someone, anyone haha

I want her to be a bit more protective for me and my gf and ofcourse the grow.


I would be really thankfull for any tips and advices.


Best wishes ya'll

Looks normal, that's a young dog always ready to play..

When she will get mature, her character will change
and she wont see strangers with the same eye, dont worry..

She's still pretty young her protective instincts haven't kicked in yet. Does she bark? when she barks at something you want her to bark at give her a signal then praise her. Before to long you'll be able to signal her to bark at command.
Good Luck

I had mine trained professionally.

Or I should better say a pro trained me on how to do it.

It was $1,800 and stretched over 12x90 minute sessions. Well worth it.

We'll the i guess she's coming out great becaus she likes barking, she likes to sit in the window barking at people out in the street.
And i must say shes not scared of many things. She's quite tough, but a bit too nice.


Maybe the dog will turn out as a dog anyway hehe

dogs tend to mirror their owners imo.. your strong vibe will tell her exactly what she needs to do.. Dogs can read their owners very well especially strong aggressive dog breeds.. overtime and with the proper energy she most likely will make a fantastic guard dog.. unless you send the wrong signals over the course of the next year or so..

I just got off the phone with M. Vick and he said that the best method is a 3 part system that works every time without fail.

1. Keep them on an irregular diet. Not feeding them consistently and wondering when their next meal will be will make them irritable. Be sure to put a pinch of gunpowder in their meals when you do feed them.
2. Beat them. Not being a predictable owner will put them on guard. If you beat them one minute and are nice to them the next, they will never know WHO to trust. (Which means they trust noone)
3. Keep them in isolation for 23 hours a day. This is a common tactic used in prisons and makes one very antisocial. It will definitely help with the meanness.


I KEED I KEED!!

Please dont take any of Vicks advice, we all see where it got him

Good luck with your new best friend. I hope she works out well for all of you and your fam.

So i shouldnt feed her raw meat mixed with xanax and vodka then?

She's a pup, she'll grow into her job. Females are much more territorial than males. As she ages the watchdog will emerge.

she will change the older she gets i had a gs i trained in Schutzhund.but envoles a lot of training. but is very fun and meet a lot of people. even if u dont do all the training they are more then willing to help u train your dog.
