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.
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.
