Ok maybe I should put it diffrently. I don’t mean like an attack dog. More like a security dog and not have him picked on by bigger dogs he can stand up for himself. The only training school we have is loaning him out to the local sheriff which they don;t gurantee his safety.
Wow your comments are scary.
You are definitely not fit to have a dog right now.
Go read about dogs care, extensively, and in the meanwhile do not try to do anything to this poor dog.
“I saw my kid be nice to people, but I want him to have the instinct to instead beat them up with a baseball bat, how do I do that?”
And the little mention of “but I’d like to not abuse him too much if possible” at the end. That’s really disgusting.
I just meant like if one of our family was attacked by another dog or animal he would step in to help. I would caveat saying I want him to stick up for himself because he is always picked on at the dog park. And if I had a kid he would be one chunky mofo because we spoil the shit out of our dog.
If you had a kid you would want him to defend you?
Your dog depends on you. He didn’t choose to be with you. If you start trying to make him have a “use” then you just wanted a tool, not a pet, and I don’t even want to interact with you if that’s the case.
That might sound harsh but we’re not in the middle ages anymore, and no one needs a dog to protect them; if anything, you should protect him. He is the one that was forced to put his life in your hands.
