Personal protection attack dog training video of a 7 month old German Shepherd/ Belgian Malinois mix puppy. Although this dog isn’t old enough to do real guard dog work it is being prepared to do real protection work… sort of like sending a child to karate class. He will finish guard dog training at about 18 months old. Quality protection dog training takes patience, respect, and knowledge. If a dog is trained with yelling and intimidation…how do you expect them to do protection work on a yelling man? Beware of people who sell sport dogs (aka schutzhund trained dogs) as “personal protection dogs. Sport dogs are trained to look pretty doing specific protection routines on a training field and may be confused in a real situation when there is not a bite sleeve or protection suit to bite. Also these types of protection dogs are trained to take stick hits instead of avoiding them and attcking that arm. This is because you can’t hold the stick with an arm within sleeve and schutzhund is a sport that is meant to prove a dogs bravery and show they are worthy of breeding, therefore they are trained to take stick hits that are always used with a stick that won’t really hurt the dog and are always hit on safe spots of the body. This is setting the dog up for failer when they must fight a person for real that is planning on hitting them in the head with an iron bar. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the dog training video of Matrix… another client dog trained by K9-1 Specialized Dog …

He is a 1yr old lab. he was pulling terribly on leash. i got him a head collar. it works great. i don’t use the head collar, he still pulls but not a bad as before. What other training methods can i use so he wont pull? to be honest im not too concerned with him walking at my side at the moment, just the pulling. unless of course the way to training is walking by my side so he wont pull. ALL advice welcome!
Labs are known for this. I have a Lab and she used to pull terribly. The reason they do this is because they are trying to be the dominant one, so they are pulling because no matter how far you let them get ahead of you they try to get further ahead. My dog was the same with the gentle leader (Head collar). The way I got her to stop was to teach her to walk beside me.
I would wear a shirt or Jacket with a pocket, which I would fill with training treats. I would then put her on the leash and tell her to walk nice, right away before she had a chance to pull or get distracted, I would reach in the pocket and give her a treat. Now her interest (especially being a lab who are notorious food hounds) is on my pocket. Every couple steps I would say good walk nice and give her another treat. For training I started with very short walks and frequent treats to keep her interest, then as she got better I would make the walks longer, and the space the treats out more. Now I don’t even need to bring a treat with me, I tell her to walk nice and she stays right beside me. At first when I wasn’t training her I would use the gentle leader to avoid her picking up bad habits. Patience is key, labs are very smart, find a way to communicate what you want and they will learn very quick. I’ve been able to teach mine everything from the basics to turning on and off the tv.
