How do you teach a dog to be an attack dog?

Answer 1

Dogs, like humans can be trained at any stage of life, you just have to deal with them where they are not where you are. Young dogs have little attention spans and lots of energy, old dogs have long attention spans but not a lot of energy; use these characteristics to make your training fun for both of you.

The, so far, best ways to train animals are called lure and cue or 'clicker' training. Lure relies on an animal to follow a potential treat to be moved to a specific position, then the animal is cued ('good dog' and the treat is given). Clicker training is tougher but the pair (trainer, trainee) can create much much more complex trained behaviors.

With clicker training a series of goals is prepared by the trainer and each will lead to the next in 'shaping' the behavior wanted. The animal is first taught that the clicker (or whistle or snap or ...) signals that a treat is forthcoming. In the beginning it must be delivered every time. After a number of times (trainers choice), the treats come in random groups: 1 time 1 treat, next time 3 treats, next time 2 treats, and so on. The period of time used is directly related to the age of the animal, young keep it short 5-10 mins at most, old, up to 20 mins per session (usually 1 session per day.)

After the animal starts to catch on that cue (click, whistle, snap) means "treats", the trainer will try a few "no-shows" - when they receive the cue, animal does the animal instantly look for the treats? If so you can now move on to the next stage, the first part of the behavior. If looking to train an animal to fetch, once the cue = treats you reward positive behavior i.e. watch for the animal to move towards the item that the trainer wants delivered. Let the animal wander a bit and every time they head that direction - cue:treat. Always work from positive, that is, don't push them, let them figure it as they go.

After the animal is headed towards the thing to be retrieved over and over, stop cuing and treating just for going to it. Now you are looking for them to touch it. Generally they will attempt the old behavior (walking to it) and will randomly hit it; cue: BIG treat. Now the animal gets confused but most times retries whatever they just did: cue-treat! The animal now tries the new behavior over and over. Remember to keep the sessions short, and reduce the treat level when you are consistently getting the wanted behavior.

Now move to the next goal, here getting their nose near the object. Make sure to no longer cue-treat for touching the object, you are now cue-treating for touching with the nose. Rinse and repeat till you get them almost pushing it around. Now try for putting open mouth on it.

This set of cue-treat works with ANY animal with the right treat. Humans, dogs, cats, chickens, anything - you just have to deal with the limitations of the animal and your own limitations.

As to speed of learning, old animals (people, dogs, cats...) have a slower time learning because they have more connections already there in their head and it takes a while for new things to get settled in. Young animals have less connections and less to change in their heads so 'learning' is faster. ALL animals (non-brain damaged) can learn, you just have to be a friend, not a commander. Note this has worked for dogs 3 months old, 3 years old, 17 years old. It has worked with Orcas, Dolphins, cats, chickens..... Every animal that can learn can do so all it's life.

There is no yelling, no shoving the animal around, no punishment - positive works and works best. Unless there is harm about to come to a human otherwise, use no other method: you waste your time and the dogs.

Answer 2

Attack training a dog is a job for a professional. If your dog is involved in an unwarranted attack, you can be sued or charged with assault, and your dog may be destroyed. Training a dog for aggression without the appropriate know-how and experience is like keeping a loaded gun in your waist-band - sooner or later, you are going to regret it.

Unless the dog is being trained for law-enforcement or military requirements, training it to attack, even as a guard dog, is likely to get you into serious trouble with the law, and will certainly bring harm to your dog (or you).

However, it is much like any other aspect of Dog Training; teach by demonstration and play, and use positive reinforcement techniques for correct responses. The stick (rather than the carrot) approach is cruel and inefficient, but is in widespread use for the purposes of producing fighting dogs; a cruel and illegal activity.

Training a dog to bark on command, but to remain under your control, is more easily achieved (and effective) as protection. Even a group of thugs can be held at bay by a noisy dog, but if the dog is too eager to attack, it is likely to leave you unprotected (which will usually lead to your prosecution, and the dog's death sentence).

Even police dogs are trained to be as noisy and aggressive as possible without becoming uncontrollable. Pushing back a group of troublemakers with a dog flashing its teeth at the end of chain keeps the dog between you and potential danger, while ensuring that both the dog and the group are not brought to unintentional harm. A good handler can sweep the dog left and right in a controlled arc, forcing troublemakers to keep their distance, or herding them in a certain direction.

Answer 3

You *DO NOT* train a Pitbull to do so. Pitbulls are a kind breed of dog that can make a great family pets, and it's dimwits like you that try to train them for cruel purposes and give the breed a bad name.

Answer 4

This is NOT a good thing to train a dog. If you would like to train a dog for police work you should take him to a specialized Police Academy. If you want guard dog you must remember that dogs are naturally territorial and can read human intentions extremely well. They will naturally protect their territory and pack members if any threat is posed.

Answer 5

Step one: Select your enemy ( The human you want your dog to attack)

Step two: Cover your enemy in meat sauce, the meatier the better.

Step three: (Pronunciation is key) Say to your dog "Fus do Rahh"

Your dog will attack the human on site, hope this guide helps with your future endeavours.

Answer 6

If it's a family dog and you're looking for a watch/guard dog, you probably shouldn't train him to attack. Most dogs have a natural instinct to protect their owners, and they can sense when they need to attack to protect. Teaching a dog to do that could confuse him or lead to accidental, unnecessary attacks. If he's not a family dog and you want him to only be a guard dog, he'll need professional training to make sure he's learning properly.

Answer 7

attack

him

Answer 8

Answer 9

how you train your dog to be aggressive is keep it alone.

dont beat it or it will be scared and might not want to listen to you then it might turn against you. to make your dog aggressive you have to be able to make sure it will listen to you. train it the words "attack"

"go get him/her" "protect" those are the first step into making your dog aggressive!.
