...if a stranger walked into your home without being let in?
This weekend, i got a chace to learn when a girlfriend of mine who had never met Dino forgot I had dogs and opened my front door without knocking.
I was in the garage doing laundry. I knew she was going to stopped by, but the door was unlocked and she opened it forgetting about my 145 corso on the other side.
Dino used his body to push her out the door with a low growl. Once they got outside, he stayed seated under her, growling and barking, but he did not charge her, attack her, or bite her.
Once I realized what was happening, I cam running and told Dino to down. My terrified friend ran in the house. Dino broke his down to follow her, but cautiously, without growling or barking this time. I downed him again, put his lead on, and removed him from the room to let my friend breathe.
This is a cautionary tale. While I am so proud of Dino for the way he guarded our home without biting my friend, this could've been a lot worse. Our dogs are a liability, and everyone in our lives needs to be aware of the type of dog we possess to prevent things like this from happening...Also, keep your front door locked!

I'm most impressed with Dino's response. I'm curious how often this friend had been over?
