    Probably not a good idea.  Good protection dogs are few and far between, and are very expensive.  Rarely do you end up on accident with a good protection dog.  It is our job as people to protect our dogs...NOT the other way around.

    Isn't he a german shepherd?  You dont' have to train them to scare the tar out of a grown man!  They LOOK big and mean and scarey!

    From what I understand, it MAY be possible but will cost thousands of dollars and lots of time with a qualified trainer.  I have a gun for protection.  I am more comfortable being the one who determines when to pull the trigger, rather than my dog.  Besides, my dog, while quite large, is the biggest weenie in the world.

    Indeed! A dog's presence in the home, like Glenda said, is often enough to deter. They can alert us to intruders, but those who've tried to train a dog to be a guard dog usually have an unfriendly, poorly trained dog. And often on their way to the shelter.
