What are the Benefits of Owning a Family Protection Dog?

A Bodyguard

Trained family protection dogs also serve as effective bodyguards to you, your spouse, and your children, whether you’re at home or away. When someone comes to the door, you can train your protection dog to accompany any family member that answers it. They can also be trained to accompany you or any member of your family on walks, trips to the store, and even travel with you on vacations or business trips. Protection dogs are incredibly loyal and won’t hesitate to put their lives on the line if it means keeping you or your family safe.

An Alarm System

Many families install alarm systems to provide a sense of security while they sleep. However, alarm systems only go so far in alerting you to an intruder. Many times, alarm systems will not scare away intruders or influence them to leave. However, a family protection dog is a living security system. They are always alert to their surroundings. And if something happens out of the ordinary, they’ll be the first to alert you and wake up the whole house. As a bonus actor, protection dogs are loud, fierce, and intimidating. Their presence and bark alone are often enough to scare away a would-be intruder.

Instant Response Timing

Alarm systems with built-in 911 calls will instantly alert the police department when you’re experiencing a break-in. However, it can take police units anywhere from five to ten minutes to reach your home. At that time, the burglar can come, take what they want, and leave. If you want protection in the form of an instant response, a family protection dog is what you need. They’ll not only alert you to the intruder’s presence and give you time to dial 911, but they’ll immediately confront the threat that faces your family. They can hold off the intruder or neutralize the intruder until police arrive to arrest and take the person away.

An Effective Weapon

When it comes to how best to protect your family, the discussion these days is on what weapon to purchase. And then, come the questions about safety. If you purchase a gun but keep it locked in a gun safe, is a gun going to be effective against an intruder who is seconds away from entering your bedroom? Probably not. A family protection dog, on the other hand, is always ready to spring into action. Their training taught them how to take down an intruder and immobilize them while waiting for authorities to arrive. They know how to keep a threat away from your family. And they’ll put themselves in harm’s way before they let anything happen to you. A family protection dog is always “armed and ready” when you need it. Since they are always on the job, they are likely the most effective weapon you’ll own.
 

Family Companion

While it’s an important distinction to note that protection dogs are not specifically “pets.” These animals have a job – protection – and they’re happiest when working for your family. They do, however, make excellent family companions. They may be aloof toward strangers and wary of new faces, but they will show incredible amounts of love and devotion to your family. These loyal companions are highly adaptable to many environments. If properly socialized and trained, family protection dogs are even happy around small children and other pets.
