Okay some of you know I had a rough start here tonight I have another area that I do not know much about at all. I was younger and can't remember everything. I have no intentions on training for attack as my mother had one of ours growing up to do I was just wondering about when my male matures will he naturally start to be protective and bark when someone knocks on the door. Right now he doesn't usually do anything. I have noticed that at night he will bark and sometimes growl at people coming close to us of course he sees them and hears them well before i do. I have noticed that most people he is fine with meeting his nub wiggles and no signs of not likeing the person but I have noticed that sometimes he will see someone he just doesn't seem to like at all. He acts like he wants to eat them. I have someone who lives in the same building (four family house) that everytime he sees that person he wants to eat. Everyone else in the building he seems to like no problems. I do believe that dogs are good judges of charater. I would like for him to bark and alert us of someone knocking and such but not an attack dog just his breed and size keeps people away. I think this is a sign that he is starting to be more protective and watchful but again this is not an area I know too much. I know the basics like the breed in general that they can be great watch dogs ect... I don't know pacifics with maturing. I do watch how he acts to someone before I go near them or allow them to go near him. I tried to bang on my front door once to see if he would do anything at all. Nothing I think I heard him do the whine that he does when he knows it is us coming in but I am not sure. I tried to call a professional once to see how much it would cost to have him come to the house and kinda break in to see what he would do but they never called back. I would like to know that if someone broke in that he would attach on his own again because I don't need or want him trained to do this. I want it to be his own choice to do it if someone breaks in.
okay thanks
chewys mom he is about 20 months now.
