German shepherd protection dogs training - bite work and long attack - male Tayson

best dogs around!!!!

I'm curious why they are trained to go high for the arm...? It seems to put the dog in more jeopardy, of being hit/stabbed. Wondering why they arent trained to go low after the legs- that would knock the target down as well...

@artsmith1972 because the attacker could hit the dog with a weapon

So I have a serious question (I'm not trying to be rude asking this) but isn't sleeve training just training a dog to attack a sleeve? In a "real" situation there is no sleeve and in the case of that trainer swinging in the air...what is the point? I am not saying the dog needs to be beaten at all during training, but I just don't get the point?

@Trenaur

I feel the same way. Teaching your dog to attack a sleeve? I have a 7 month old female German Shepherd and was told she has to be one year old for personal protection training. I dont want her to be trained to attack a sleeve.

@Trenaur I compete in Schutzhund with mine at the National level, and just thought I'd answer your question. It depends on the method you use. If the dog is trained with prey (like this dog and helper are doing) then it's a game for the dog and without the sleeve, the dog probably won't bite. If you train it using aggression, like mine does, the dog really "gets" the concept, and will probably bite, even without the sleeve. Hope this helps!

@AgilityBeagle Thanks, yeah to me this just seems like a game to the dog. That was why I wanted to ask though because I really didn't know. Seems silly to me to do this type of training...but what do I know :)

How old a gsd to be train like that and how many weeks to train a gsd guard dog?

[MalinoisPoliceDogs]

@amigaz It's never too late to start training....and it is a continuous process. Basic training is about one month.

Wow that dog is smart and very well trained. good job training the dog. I love German shepherd dogs, they're good for pets, they are very protective, and good for police dogs. :)
