Quote HistoryQuoted: Sounds good.

I have a gun on me or accessible (but safe from kids) most of the time, wife has shot handguns ARs and shotguns but I don't think she has the mindset to shoot someone attacking her, I think the dog thing is her realizing we should have protection but not being able to do it if I'm not around. |

When you have an bite-trained dog, you don’t want it making decisions on its own for the most part. Your wife would have to train with the dog on a regular basis (because that’s not just a “trained and done” skill set; it requires regular practice), and would need to be willing to pull the figurative trigger. And yes, your wife would have to be a regular participant in training if the dog is expected to obey her. She would have to set aside time each week to actively participate in training, even if you do the lion’s share of it. Absent that level of training, you’re looking at more instinctive protectors. They are more autonomous and need less actual direction, but are also less likely to actually bite and more likely to react to something you may not want them to react to. Both can be addressed via training, but bite training a more instinctual breed can cause issues because they will on occasion act autonomously and that can cause problems. With good socialization, they are usually able to do a great job distinguishing friend from foe, but there’s always the chance that they may not react well to a particular guest. It’s important to remember that without formal bite training and a will to persist in the face of opposition, most dogs won’t actually bite an intruder. They’ll bay them up and put on a very good show of things, but when push comes to shove, they won’t bite and sustain an attack. I hope that makes a little sense vis a vis choosing a trained dog vs an instinctual dog and what you can expect from them. |
