The Dog Section is NOT into Home Defense. Mind if I ask this question here?

all you want from a dog is for it to tell you when something is up. In our world you're more likely to get sued by the would be burglar than not. If anybody is going to do any violence it should be you making that decision. when you took the dog you made a commitment. get some training, take it to a basic obedience cl. let him sleep with you if he wants. bad men are your responsibility, his is just to love you like the big dumb beast that he is....and wake you up if there's trouble.
