on Protection Equipment
Hi, I am looking into getting a large breed doberman with a working backround or a german sheperd but I want to train it to be a very obeidient protection dog. I was curious if you could help guide me into purchasing the correct equipment and videos for raising and training a pup to be a great protection dog. Thank you very much. If you could just list everything that I could possibly need I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer:
Here are the videos I would recommend
Your Puppy 8 Weeks to 8 Months
How to Raise a Working Puppy
Basic Dog Obedience
Building Drive & Focus in Working Dogs
The First Steps of Bite Training
Bite Training Puppies
Training Personal Protection Dogs
You will want a flat collar and eventually a prong. You shouldn’t need a prong til your puppy is older.
We have a large selection of tugs and prey items to do the bite development.
You will also need a leash and a long line, you can see what we offer here.
I like to use an orbee ball with all my dogs, they come in 3 sizes so you can make sure to have the right one as your dog grows.
Many of the videos I recommended have a list of recommended equipment for each video, so that will help you make your decisions. If you have any questions feel free to email me or call the office and one of the girls will be glad to help you out!
Thanks.
I have an Aussie I’m looking into training for assistance work. I’m legally blind and so am hoping to get her going as a basic guide, but I also want her to carry a backpack for me. Because of that, a harness wouldn’t be practical for use in leading me, so someone suggested using an agitation collar. That way, her back would be free for the pack but I could still have a handle to grip that was close to the dog and very different than a training collar.
Could you give me some kind of price estimate on how much this would be to make? She’s small, about 19 inches at the shoulder and probably takes an 18-inch flat collar. Another question I had for you was how you thought she might serve as a protection dog if necessary. Because I’m blind as well as a single female, it’s important to me to have a dog that I could rely on if the need arose. I’m not talking about formal training here, but generally speaking, what is your opinion on Aussies as personal protection dogs? If someone jumped on me out of a dark alley, would the typical Aussie be a dog who would stand up for me?
I really appreciate your help, and look forward to hearing from you!

Answer:
We do sell a harness that has a backpack attached, and a handle you can hold onto. http://leerburg.com/755.htm this may work for you.
To answer your collar question though, we sell a couple of agitation collars with handles that should fit her.
This one is nylon http://leerburg.com/787.htm and this one is leather http://leerburg.com/1062.htm
I have met some Aussies that were natural protection dogs, but as with any breed it really depends on the individual.
I hope this helps.
