i dont have the experience you people have, but i think it also depends very much of the dog..if the dog is naturaly bad boy...then you can start imediatly in defense with him...but if you dont know exactly what type of nerves he's got, you can try to start step by step with prey in the beginning..not taking the risk of too much stress, and ruining this way the dogs potential for later development
for a dog with natural skils is like a no brainer , to make him for protection, but with dogs that have less instinct, i think we should have a strategy to transform him into personal protection dog
nu am experianta voastra dar mai cred ca depinde foarte mult si de cainele pe care-l ai..daca ai un caine cu instincte native puternice..atunci poti incepe imediat in aparare..dar daca ai un caine despre care nu stii exact cum este, poti incerca sa-l dresezi pas cu pas incepand cu prada la inceput..fara sa-ti asumi riscul de a stresa cainele prea tare si sa-i strici potentialul de a se dezvolta mai tarziu.
un caine care are instincte de la natura, nici nu trebuie sa te gandesti prea mult ca sa-l faci de paza si protectie, dar un caine cu instincte mai slabe trebuie sa planifici si sa aplici o strategie
