The drive and bite must be taught. Obedience and commands must always be enforced so that the dog knows when to guard and when to take it easy. There are different types of guard dog training. There are also different levels depending on what needs to be guarded. Guard dog training also depends on how you want your guard dog to react to different situations he may encounter.
You may train a guard dog to secure a particular area, may it be your house, place of business, property, or livestock, or simply to keep valuables secured. Guard dog training should only be administered to a dog once he has undergone basic dog obedience training. Dog obedience training is your dog's foundation for guard duty. The better the obedience training your dog gets, the more quickly and efficiently he will be in catching on to guard dog training. In guard dog training, it is crucial that you teach your dog to keep itself indifferent to other dogs especially those of the opposite sex , as well as cats and mice.
These distractions can cause your dog to lose focus and neglect his duty. So, once you decide to get a dog for security, should you get a guard dog or a protection dog?
Is there a difference? The answer is, yes, there is a difference between a guard dog and protection dog. It is important for you to know the difference before you make a decision and buy a puppy. Think of it this way, a guard dog will guard your property and a protection dog will protect you and your family.
A guard dog is trained specifically to be a working dog, not a pet. They are used as police dogs or military dogs and cannot "turn off" their training. Guard dogs can be trained to work at 3 distinct levels of security.
Alarm Dog- This is a large breed with a deep, threatening bark. He will sound the alarm when someone approaches, but will take no action. In many cases, the alarm dogs bark is enough to deter unwanted visitors. Sentry Dog- A guard dog used as a sentry is most often used to guard the outside of a large property, such as a warehouse or shipyard.
The dog is free to roam on his own without instruction from his owner. Because they are trained to attack anyone who trespasses, they are the best possible protection for this type of situation.
A combination of the above may be acceptable. The mesh size and construction detail is specified so that the enclosure will be escape-proof and so that people, particularly small children, cannot fit body parts such as hands into the enclosure with the dog.
The floor of the enclosure must be constructed of concrete and be graded to a drain for the removal of effluent. The gate on the enclosure must contain a lock. It is a requirement that the enclosure is securely locked when the dog is in the pen.
When a dangerous dog is guarding non-residential premises it is permitted outside the enclosure. However, the perimeter fencing surrounding the premises as described must have a minimum height of 1.
The fence must be constructed and maintained in a manner that prevents the dog from being able to dig or otherwise escape under, over or through the fencing. All gates must be securely locked while the dog is guarding the premises. If they believe the dog has escaped over the perimeter fencing, an authorised officer may also require that this perimeter have an inward facing overhang of 0.
A dangerous dog must be muzzled and on a lead while the dog is outside the owner's premises or when not guarding outside the enclosure. This keeps the Council informed of the location of dangerous dogs at all times. The Council will inspect the premises to ensure the Regulations are being adhered to. Owners who sell, give away or transfer the ownership of a dangerous dog, including a guard dog, must notify the new owner in writing that the dog is deemed dangerous.
You may wish to use a pre-prepared template, which you can request from your local Council or email pet. The Domestic Animals Regulations provide for and ensure a state-wide standard relating to the management of dangerous dogs.
The uniform identification of dangerous dogs, and the identification of premises where they live is important for easy identification of these dogs. It is also vital for effective state-wide education programs, directed particularly at children.
