Do you want to know how to train your dog to attack on command? If so, here are 9 guaranteed ways to train your dog to attack somebody on your signal.
A dog is a very lovable pet. But apart from keeping them as pets, most of us really want more from our dogs. Don't you agree?
Let me ask you this: Suppose a burglar quietly breaks into your house at night and takes your valuables. And later you found out that your dog had seen the burglar but was only mute. How would you feel? Wouldn't you be angry with the dog? Wouldn't you call it a useless toy and a burden? I'm sure you would.
But the fact of the matter is, most of the dogs we have are pets, not guard dogs. But unfairly we expect them to act in that capacity when necessary. My friend, your dog will never be a good guard dog unless you train him to be one. Even if your breed has innate guardianship skills, you must train them well to obey your commands.
In this article I will give you some helpful tips on how to train your dog to attack when asked to. Of course, your dog can be a naturally aggressive type. But I'm sure you won't like it if your dog attacks unwanted people in your house or ignores your orders. You would also like it when you order your dog to chase an intruder, and he obeys you immediately, won't you? Then follow these steps and you will get what you want:
1. Wear a protective glove that covers not only your hand but your entire arm. This is a necessary safety precaution to avoid injury.
2. Sit with your dog. If you have not taught your dog simple commands such as "come, sit, stop, run and stand", you must first teach your dog these commands before you teach him the command "attack".
3. After the dog has sat down, hit him in the face with the glove on his arm. This is one way to irritate the dog and test his patience. Continue until your dog attacks the angry glove (Now do you understand why you should use a one-armed glove?)
4. As soon as the dog attacks the glove, say the word "attack" out loud. You do this because you want your dog to understand what the word "attack" really means.
5. Verbally congratulate the dog or show that you are happy. Even if it is not necessary, reward your dog with cookies or other treats. However, if your dog is often motivated by food and learns faster with treats, then you should give him treats.
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 until you are sure your dog has understood the meaning of the word "attack". You will know if your dog reacts quickly to the command "attack" by attacking his arm with gloves as soon as he hears the command.
7. Stand at a short distance from your dog and give the command "attack". See how he reacts. If he does not, repeat steps 3 to 5 several times. But if he does attack, it shows that he knows the command well.
8. Take a break to reward the dog once again for understanding your command.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 five to seven more times. This is to ensure that your dog really understands your command.
10. it is now time to show the dog how to attack an intruder (otherwise he will go behind your arm every time you say "attack"). Take a very large puppet or make a caricature of a human and put it at a distance. Then point at the "wrong" intruder and yell "attack". Even though your dog may initially try to approach you, he will go in the direction indicated as soon as he sees your finger.
11. Reward your dog with treats or in some other way.
12. Repeat step 10 by placing your fake intruder in several places and pointing your finger at him each time you give your dog the command. Repeat this until you are satisfied that your dog has mastered the command and will no longer look for your arm.
Let someone act as an intruder (use someone whose face is unknown to the dog) Tell the person to stand at the front door and be ready to close the door if the dog ignores the command to "Stop".
13. Point out the "intruder" and order your dog to attack. If you run towards the intruder, you have received your message.
14. Repeat step 13, but when the dog approaches the intruder, shout the word "stop" to see if he obeys. Once you have familiarized him with the "Stop" command, he should stop immediately. This step is very necessary because it teaches your dog that sometimes you want to stop attacking an intruder after you have given the first command.
I am sure these steps will tell you how to train your dog to attack on command. In short, I believe that these steps will transform your pet dog into a selfless guard dog that will only attack when you want it to.
