Many people are unaware of the fact that dogs are naturally inclined to protect their pack. This instinct is what drives dogs to become guard dogs. Guarding behavior is the primary reason why dogs are often used as security animals.
Dogs that are used as security animals are typically bred and trained to be aggressive and territorial. They are often used to patrol property and deter intruders. However, guard dogs can also be used to protect people. For example, a dog may be used to protect a person’s home or family.
There are a few different types of guarding behavior that can be exhibited by dogs. The most common type is territorial guarding. This type of guarding behavior is exhibited when a dog is protective of its home or territory. Dogs that exhibit territorial guarding behavior will often bark and growl at people or animals that they do not know.
Another type of guarding behavior is personal guarding. Dogs that exhibit personal guarding behavior are protective of their owners and family members. These dogs are often very loyal and will often attack anyone who tries to harm their owner or family member.
The final type of guarding behavior is protective aggression. Dogs that exhibit protective aggression are protective of both people and property. These dogs are often used to protect people from danger. They will often bark and growl at people or animals that they do not know and will also attack if they feel that their owner is in danger.
If you are interested in owning a guard dog, it is important to understand the different types of guarding behavior. It is also important to be aware of the fact that guard dogs can be dangerous. Therefore, it is important to always use caution when interacting with a guard dog.
