Yeah the only way is forwards!! When I first got into protection dogs I didn't have much support. I had family who have always had dogs who are naturally aggressive but stared in pits and eventually discovered the Malinois. I trained for years with some controversial people (who I strongly do not associate with anymore- The Bhola family) learnt more about what not to do. And stuck to my own trial and error. I have worked lots of dogs from the age of around 17 all breeds mainly in protection. From the days when we used to just wrap a towel on our arms. My dog sport was always a nessecity to have a dog that will protect not so much for doing flashy stuff with Growing up in south London and some of my fam and friends having off licences which have a tendency to being robbed came with ups and downs so I eventually got into dogs for this purpose It's always been about a dog that will not only scare a crowd of Yobbs who have all just run inside the shop but there have been times the only thing that has stopped the guy with a gun pointing it at the guy on the till being the sound of a Bull coming at him One of our guys even got shot with a sawn off through the till in the groin It was in the news paper So they have had their fair share of live bites
