How to train a dog to guard

1. Cultivate the courage of dogs

The trainer leads the puppies to the training ground, makes the dog pay attention to the trainer, and pretends to drive the trainer away. The trainer should pretend to be scared, and run while teasing. When the puppies bark or even attack the trainer, the trainer will cheer the dog up in time and reward them adequately. Use groups of multi-headed dogs to bark and attack, the specific method is the same as above.

2. Assuming that the enemy's actions must be different

For puppies with low hostility or dominant passive defense, the assumed enemy actions should be different. For the former, try to be as sneaky as possible and move more widely, but for the latter, it is just the opposite. Run provocatively beside the puppy, or tease the dog directly to arouse the dog’s anger. These methods can increase the puppy’s hostility and enthusiasm for biting. When the puppy barks at the trainer or has an aggressive performance, The assistant trainer should act like "fleeing in panic", and the owner should fully reward the puppy's brave behavior. In any case, the trainer can't talk and laugh with the trainer in front of the dog, which will reduce the dog's hostility towards him. The cultivation of bravery makes the puppy "victory" end every time. When puppies are aggressive, they should pay attention to safety when they are released to prevent puppies from chasing animals, livestock or biting pedestrians.

3. Biting and teasing

Use a towel to make a soft bite and give the whole body the necessary teasing. Firstly, the puppies are trained to pick up the towel roll, and then an assistant trainer snatches the bite from the dog's mouth while the dog is not paying attention. And tease the dog appropriately. Desiring to catch the prey, it will charge forward and bark with others. After the dog barks, give the "attack" command in time, and make the dog bite the towel roll, and give the biting object to the dog after a slight pull. After many times of such training, the ferocity of the dog can be cultivated and the dog can be excited about biting. The biting of puppies can be done 1-2 times a day, because affected by the age and physique of the dog, the biting must not be inhibited because the dog is too tired.

4. Stranger teasing

利用狗狗休息的时机，找朋友化装成陌生人，以由远及近的动作接近狗狗并发出声音，引起狗狗注意，并在狗狗约5米处对它进行逗引。经过逗引，当狗狗对出现在一定距离内的陌生人有警惕或欲咬的表现后，即可开始对狗狗进行佯攻，以激发狗狗的仇视和主动防御反应。这种训练每天可进行2~3 次。

5. Field drill

Choose a training venue with less novelty and stimulation, find a friend to act as a stranger in advance, wear protective gear and hide in a suitable position in the training venue, and then the dog arrives at the venue. The owner adopts a half-squat position and issues the command "Attention" to the dog. At this time, the friend can first make a sound in the hidden place to arouse the dog's vigilance. When the dog becomes vigilant, it will appear from the hiding place, trying to arouse the dog's hostility, so that the dog dares to bark and pounce.
