There is an old saying, Out of necessity, invention is born and Sally Said So Professional Dog Training was born that day. We are happy to be serving you with the absolute best dog training and behavior modification! Hi there, just wondering if anyone knows of a 'personal protection' trainer Melbourne. We now have a Rotty pup which I would like to train. Why? I trained previous Rotty personal protection and found she was better overall general obedience compared to other Rotty who was 'obedience trained' only. As a female I feel more 'at ease' knowing best friend can also be protector if the need arises. Fortunately I never found myself a situation where her 'protection' was needed, although having the command to growl and show teeth was used a couple of times which I believe deterred a few undesirables. Thanks for your help. Knucklebuster not sure where you are located but here Victoria you are by law supposed to have a security licence to train or own a trained protection dog. addition, if you have a protection trained dog you are supposed to 'declare' them as a 'dangerous dog' and then you and your dog are subject to the 'dangerous dog laws'. Not something I agree with and I also agree with you that a well trained protection dog is often safer than the general pet dog next door, who has never been taught when NOT to bite. people view protection training as teaching the dog to bite. IMO this is silly. Dogs already know how to bite. Protection training teaches them discrimination of when is right and when is wrong and affords the handler a control switch which can be turned on AND more importantly off a split second. I think some scrutiny is required though, that the right dogs 't end up the wrong hands. Haven't heard of that happening myself perhaps the people who are dedicated to the right and continuous training protection dogs need are too proud and dedicated to their dogs to do the wrong thing by them. ETA: Off topic and no offense or perhaps there is, but it's not intended I'm not sure about the name knucklebuster. Makes me think of someone who likes to go around bullying and showing their toughness. I tend to find those who are the reputable protection training fields 't need or want to do this. But it's just a name and perhaps you have a different reason for it. Edited for grammar.

Agreed. Just a quick side-note thing, is Schutzhund classed as protection training and if you take part are you subject to the licensing 'dangerous dog' policies? Bec. Although faced with the difficulties of this law, I think Schutzhund's representation of what they do is classed as a 'sport' rather than protection. However due to the nature and wording of the laws, I 't think they are completely the clear and I know that they are targetted by authorities such as Councils etc. There is a law here that its wording denounces it being legal for anyone to teach their dogs to bite anything that a person wears or holds. These are not the exact words of the law, but it is essence what it says. That would cover Schutzhund training, but it would also cover the majority of pet dog owners
