Protection dogs are specially trained canines that help keep people safe. They are taught to recognize potential threats and respond appropriately, often by alerting their owners or intervening if necessary. These dogs can be used in various settings, including homes, businesses, and public events. The training process for protection dogs typically involves obedience training, socialization, and specific protection skills. Breeds commonly used for this purpose include German Shepherds, Rottweilers, and Belgian Malinois. Owners often seek protection dogs for personal safety, security, or as a deterrent against crime.
