"Thank you, I take a lot of pride in both the Corso's and the Husky they are all well trained (the Boston being the exception) but especially the Corso's BUT they are great family members too, they are quite taken with my daughters, they each have their very own protector as it were and my Husky puts himself wherever my son is at all times, he is ever curious that his human is okay, my son is only 4 months old but I foresee a great relationship between him and Ghost as he grows older."Just out of curiosity, how does one go about training a dog in threat assessment? Do you find this valuable? |

"Just out of curiosity, how does one go about training a dog in threat assessment?"I am not even going to claim any real knowledge of training dogs for threat assessment. But I know many dogs are seriously gifted at discerning whether a person means harm or not. I have had dogs who did not like a smiling, seemingly friendly person, but like someone who seemed standoffish and suspicious. In almost ever case, the dog was right. The standoffish person was only shy and the smiling fool was a thief. Do you find this valuable? |

"I co trained both the Corso's with the breeder who sold me the dogs, the Husky I trained myself, the Boston is hopeless...lolVery true about the breed being a factor. Most herding / working breeds have far more natural protective instinct than others. I used to have a Border Collie that would do all that for me, and he was only 65 lbs. Smartest dog I ever knew. He knew left, right, up, down, the difference between types of balls and toys, I swear he could even understand spelling a little bit. Couldn't keep a secret from that dog if I wanted to.

I have three dogs.6yr male boxer, 5yr female Doberman, and a 3yr male great dane/german shepherd. All redneck/hillbilly guard dog trained. Meaning if I/family don't call them back/down they will have a new chew toy. But if called back/down they will spread out and wait for the go. If a confrontation happens they will attack automatically. Boxer will die for the family but loves little kids. Doberman will protect the pack and trusts nobody. Great dane mix is our screw ball. The craziest dog I have ever known. They stay no matter. Do you find this valuable? |

SlowRide has the better dogs and training.All of mine are rescues. Boxer abused and used as a training dog for fighting pits. Dobie just abused badly Mix almost starved and neglected. We rescue anywhere from 3-6 usually and one year 8. We can usually make them salvageable. We are usually the last hope for most of them. They were gonna put the dobie down because she would attack everyone close to her bed or food. Now kids climb in her kennel and play with her food. She still has issues but she is great now. Oh they bark but will quiet when orderd to. Unless the threat continues and we aren't there to show it's ok. Still keepers though 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Damn... Well I have a dog and a cat and two reptiles... My two bearded dragons I might leave them in the tank with all the food in the dish and kiss them goodbye... My cat... He's annoying as hell and when I'm bugging out he would probably be out side in a tree... My dog however he's fat and lazy but he's a trustworthy dog that I can count on to find things for me! So he's defiantly coming!

hahah, yeah one cool thing about my little chihuahua, is that he detects and barks when he hears things, and he runs where ever the threat is, and he quiets when i open the door or take him with me to show him it's ok, before we got robbed, he didnt pay any attention to people walking up with keys to the door, now he already knows when you close the car door!!

My Lhasa and my son's Maltese. Both are very good "alarm" dogs. I won't be leaving them behind. On the other hand, they don't hush fast enough. The Lhasa will hush soon enough once I let him know I heard him. The Maltese is another story. What to do with them? Duct tape muzzle sounds like a possible expedient, hehe. This falls under the heading of "I'll suffer for it, but I can't bring myself to change it --- yet"Do you find this valuable? |

Yeah, it's like the overall safety for the group, and it's a tough one to think about as I'm hearing from others about what to do. Damn, what if you had like a lion or tiger, like if you worked at the zoo, and z day happened, well there is alot of fortified places there!

my dog is a large dog at 120 pound but I have been training him to carry a back pack. that and he is a great pyrenees/ german shepherd. so he sheds alot of fur. I have filled a 5 gallon bucket with fur that I brushed off him in two weeks. but apart from the fur the he is a loyal dog that will attack anything that hits me. my brother tackled me 2 years ago. and my dog attacked my brother.

"Good job on the rescues! There is no more loving dog than a rescue. Mine are rescues as well."Thanks I haven't had a puppy since the 90s. Used to just take unwanted dogs till around 2000. Then its been rescues ever since. Glad to hear others also rescue. And congrats on yours. Mine are far from trained like SlowRide's monsters. But they get the job done. Do you find this valuable? |

"So a good question is, if you have a dog, or cat, or bird, what do you do if it is making too much noise, you see, my Chihuahua dog would have to go, because you can't draw attention of any kind when bugging in or out. Tell me what yall thnk. "Train it to shut up when you say to, All 3 of my dogs are & do it when ever I say "lock it up". On the other hand a dog that is trained to alert you when somesome comes near is a very good thing. early warning system that comes with you. Plus, depending on breed & training, they can help you hunt. I have two full blood dachshunds, brother & sister. They act like the dogs from the book Where The Red Fern Grows. He's the brawn, she's the brain. My other dog is a mix blood. Part german shepard, chow, & timber wolf. Most loyal dog I have ever seen. Because of her size, my parents call her horse. I trained her to carry & pull gear that I can't or don't need in combat. Hell my cats act more like dogs with the added fact they are silent & quick. Do you find this valuable? |

We had a Holstein when I was a kid. Named it T-Bone. T-Bone was an ass hole. No way in hell I could make him carry a pack... or really do anything else for that matter. Even gelded bulls can be pricks. Maybe a lazy milk cow would be a different story though. Do you find this valuable? |
