Principles of Defense with a Dog
- No two fights are the same
- There is no single thing that will guarantee you will win
- Get in a fist fight, get punched, get in a knife fight, get cut, get in a gun fight, get shot
- Don’t go to stupid places with stupid people and do stupid things
- Don’t be an easy target; deter, show of force, actual force
Why is the dog the best defensive tool?
- You have limited tools - police have a bat belt
- Escalation of force:
- Deterrent
- Show of force
- Less lethal force
- Lethal force
- Loyal, alert, hyper vigilant, can take them anywhere
What makes us different?
- Fight & Bite - targeting weapons & countering attacks
- Stability - only biting when it’s appropriate
- Recall - you don’t have to go into the fight
- A protection dog you can live your life with
