This is technically personal protection training - I think true guard training would require him to be more of a sentry type dog and for my purposes I prefer a social, less civil/defensive animal.
I want something that is stable, safe and comfortable around crowds/people. Typically guard dogs aren't as discriminatory.
There is a slight sport component to this training.
Although he is NOT a true sport dog by breeding or temperament.
I simply wanted to grow as a responsible dog owner and provide this big ol' hog dog an appropriate outlet for all his drive.
I'll try and take him as far as I can - more of a showcase of his adaptability/engrained abilities/solid training/growth with him.
But he doesn't hold a candle to some of the sport/purpose bred dogs I train with -many of which have high percentages of game pit or mal blood.

Well, why not challange him both physically and mentally?
Too many dogs now days, have little or no physical and mental stimulation in their lives.
Has he had 'official' obedience training, or did you train him at home?
