If you're like a lot of dog owners, you've probably wondered what your dog does when left alone at home. But how would your dog perform if left to protect your home?
Honestly, I couldn't care less about my dog protecting my stuff when I am out, but more so as a way to alert me when something is wrong and as a sound-based deterrent when I am home.
The first three dogs did really well, considering none was trained to defend the house while the owners are away. In a lot of these I’ve watched, many of the dogs ran and hid or acted like the last two, but these three didn’t back down. Auggie was especially intimidating. I think if he’d made a sudden move or went into other rooms in the house, Auggie might very well have bitten him. This also shows that wagging tails don’t always mean a happy dog.
@@redcubegamer7716 that depends on the breed. Most Pitbull terriers or Amstaffs or dogs like that aren't very territorial meaning they don't care about territory only the owner. It's dogs like German Shepherds, Akitas, Kangals which are much more territorial and will defend your home.
I have a German shepherd. A while back, some friends of mine thought that because my dog knew them, they could get into my place to set up a surprise party. Bad idea. One of my friends has a really cool scar on his arm to remind him that even dogs that know you can decide something's wrong.
As a former pet sitter, I'm grateful that none of my clients were prone to attacking visitors. Several of my clients were powerful breeds. If they had wanted to, they could have really done some damage.
@@calvinbriggs1840 an Akita still in the puppy stage ..maybe..probably will bark...but a mature (3 years and up) Akita might do more damage than barking...these type of videos need actual dogs who are bred for guarding..like a Rottweiler Akita or Cane corso
Hehe ^_^ i wont ^_^ im supptized a boxer i mean mixed with bulldog but boxer i espected to attac hes naturality.... dam... my boerboel i assume he will at least try to push hem back... if he is lucky to just do that ^_^
Dogs dont attack if an intruder comes in because they weren’t really train for that unless if the owner is in the house and they pretend their attacking the owners then they bite
I've seen a lot of these testing for dog reaction on burglar-video's this evening and I think the reaction could be different if the chemicals they can sniff out where different.. A thief would be way more nervous than a pretend thief and there would be more tension in the situation to begin with..
@@Elketjeable There is zero evidence for this. Theoretically, it would be possible, yes. Not against the laws of physics. But could such a niche smell receptor evolve? It may be against the 'principles of biology'. Did it happen on earth and is present in dogs? All evidence is clear: "definite no'.
Depends a lot on the breed of dog you have. None of these breeds are really guard dogs, with the exception of the bulldog/boxer mix who does put up some sort of attempt to scare the burglar with barking. The Burglar shows no fear to her, as he has a protective suit but in a real situation they probably would show fear which could prompt her to attack. Dogs are always more likely to attack if you show you’re scared of them. It takes a very good and in most cases trained guard dog to attack if the intruder stands there ground. Would like to see them do this with recognised guarding breeds in the property, as quite confident Doberman’s, German Shephards and other similar breeds would attack. Burglars don’t just come through the front door quietly either, they will usually break something to gain entry so I’d expect a dog to react differently to a real burglar.
These videos made by the same ones were they break in and steal the dog by dragging the dog out of the house ,the dog is never returned ... And if they have two dogs they will leave the one to suffer a little longer before they kill that one?
after watching a few of these videos I appreciate the guy at the end saying you cant have visitors with a dog who will attack anyone who walks in the house. That would be a dangerous dog
Not that it’s good but dogs don’t value phones or anything like that lol. So when burgers come in most dogs wouldn’t do much other then bark ect but if your in the house then things change. This is my opinion anyway not that it’s a good thing.
Exactly. Most dogs are focused on their owner and are trained to be friendly to people who coming over for a visit. If you want to protect not only you but your house as well you should get a shepert or something similar. They are more territorial even without training. (sry for my bad English)
You actually have an "Alarm system"! The first dog had his hackles up...warning. The bulldog was the more aggressive and the reddish dog in the third set was investigating/testing the intruder when jumping up. Would any of these dogs bitten the intruder if he had advanced upon the dog? If the dog felt a threat upon them they more likely would have bitten. At least this is my thoughts. As "alarms" are dogs effective.... I know they are. Absolutely!
What I’ve gathered from these burglar dog test videos is that if you want noise have atleast one small dog and if you want potential protection have atleast 1 big dog. But if you want actual protection get a big dog and get it trained to be a guard dog.
I have a lhasa apso (alert) rottweiler (useless but intimidating) and a malinois (in training for protection) as you can tell I've been trying for a few years to get it right 🤣🤣
A real burglar won't be that calm when they encounter dogs especially the large ones, and most probably they wont be having protective suits either.. the dogs will sense their fear and hesitation they will certainly attack them.
Now try that with a genuine Cane Corso and see how it goes. Also, it's not that simple. Dog senses the vibes. They didn't felth threatened and that feeling was correct. Now try that with a real burglar.
agree 100%. they should test dogs with proper innate guard instinct(corso,mastiff, german shepperds ,rott) i never trained my cane corso and i’ve seen her in action on a real burgler when she was only 1 year old, the guy will never forget lol now at 4 year old i would not even be able to hold her , so yes good try but wrong dogs Ps my corso is still friendly with people that enter the house with my permission , so guys if you are looking for a guard dog just get the right breed and blood line, do not expect all dogs to guard because is never going to happen
Fabrizio Valastro that’s so true. Because there are certain dogs that are just naturally friendly. Dogs have personalities like humans do. I’m not gonna lie I know my dog would be scared if there was an intruder that’s why we’re getting a male Rottweiler
All dog breeds respond the same. It is about training, their personality, history of trauma or violence, etc. Breed has never been shown to have any effect on behavior. If you can demonstrate it, it will be a very high impact publication.
What the guy states there is absolutely true when you have a guard dog, he/she is NOT going to like people he/she does not know. My Pittie is so playful and loving and gentle with the kids but she does not like stangers and she will not let one in the yard whether one of the family members is by her or not. I had to get her used to my parents by keeping her in a harness at first and letting her be in their company until she learned they were not a threat, then they were able to start giving her treats. Just one example of how she protects us and the home.
I wonder what my rottweilers would do. I own 3 rottweilers, oldest one is pretty calm, second one is more ''aggressive'' and the youngest one wouldn't even hurt a fly, she's never bitten anyone. I believe my second oldest rottweiler would bite, especially if they raise their hand to hit her. The other two would probably be excited.
My dog is getting to the point in life where he would only respond to an intruder if they turned off his space heater lol My wife's little dog would gnaw their ankles off if they weren't smart enough to punt her away.
I never understand owners who are disappointed by their pets not guarding the house. I pray my dog is the most welcoming and non threatening force for a robber. I don’t want my dog to protect anything and potentially put herself in harms way. If a robber is that determined my little dog won’t do anything to stop him anyway, and no belonging of mine in my house is as valuable to me as the life and health of my dog.
Agressive behavior has been bread out of most dogs. In addition if you want Your Dog to Protect You then ... YOU & the Dog Have to go Get Training... & be Prepaid to handle a Dog Properly that has had this Training... It is A BETTER idea to Go Get SELF DEFENCE LESSONS to Protect YOURSELF than Expect someone else or an animal to Do what You should do Yourself. Miss Vikie 🕊❤🕊 Texas USA 🇺🇸
My dog would give it large until someone is in the house then he'd be all like "hey new person how are you? come on in put the kettle on, the coffee is on the high shelf, will you scratch my belly, you'll never carry out all of those items in one go there's a few bags over there" then once the intruder is out he'll start barking again.
he didnt' break in. He walked in the door like a normal person. The dogs weren't scared. This is worthless as a study in what dogs would do. Should have had the officer break a window and try to climb in and see how that goes.
Like that in the end they said that a bark is enough and that biting takes some training and if dogs are trained to bite then you have difficulty having visitors in your house.
I feel in like households with a chihuahua and a larger dog, the bigger dog doesn't want to lose face when the chihuahua is brave enough to take any stranger on!
Just walking through the front door, and acting casual, really isn't sparking the dog's sense of "danger." Maybe they thought it was a visitor? Barking, when no one is home to hear it anyways, makes this experiment a flop!
Depends on the breed there are breeds with a natural guardian instinct some need training to protect there owner and some breeds just won't also not all breeds with a guardian instinct will protect their owner the same way some are known to put themselve in between a attacker and their owner also during a home invasion dogs don't care about things and will react differently if there home alone or there owner is home territorial breeds will attack a Intruder even if alone others won't
My Bullterrier x would take a bite out of that intruder he is the sort of dog you don’t want to mess with very loyal to his family our other dog has a sweet friendly nature but will raise the alarm and our old girl is a good watch dog.😍🐶
Well my uncle's Chihuahua attacked a burglar so clearly some dogs do attack first and ask questions later. The dog was kicked and seriously injured and then hid under the bed till my uncle got home. At least he tried his best.
I had 4 dogs that would let the burglar in as long as they didn't take .... the fridge, the blanket (because one of them would be hiding under it), the arm chair (that was the 15 year old labs chair) oh and the tennis ball which belonged to my collie cross. other then that they could have anything they wanted.
it's a little inaccurate, because a burglar PROBABLY won't be wearing an attack dog suit, and there would be a lot of adrenaline pumping and nervous energy, and once they saw the dog fearful energy (because no dog protection), and dogs sense that and feed into that and respond the same way. they sense threat, they respond threat
I bet if you grabbed the boss's food and tried to walk out they react different dogs value things differently than humans. They don't care about the laptop.
You bring treats. Every burglar knows this. Of course a dog that barks will scare off burglars who aren't comfortable with dogs. The police officer is right. You absolutely don't want a dog that can fight off a burglar. It will be a disaster in all other cases. And when a burglar does come, what you rather lose? Your laptop? or your doggo?
I have a German Shepard, I'm perfectly fine with the dog just being an alarm system. She will charge as she dose it to the neighbors but luckily no bites yet.
This is really hard to test because dogs sense & smell fear & nervousness....which this burglar did not have. Personally, I think they can also sense evil, but that's debatable. We had a labrador retriever many years ago that protected our home, & she was not trained for that. We came home from eating out that night, & there was a puddle of blood on the living room carpet & blood splatters on the wall by the door, & blood on her face. She was not hurt....and nothing was stolen. Police were called, big steak was given to the good girl.
My door cam has the option of a large dog bark!! I have multiple cameras as well as my Ring doorbell. I have to take my dog with me because he is my service dog. I have a friend who used to sell security systems. If he came across a elderly person he made these suggestions, Buy a set of large bowls,& a piece of heave chain. A dog house with the name like " killer", demon or another frightening name . Keep a pair of man's muddy or dirty boots at your door. ( Buy them at a thrift store) & His last advice was to get a small dog & never let him socialize with anyone else. Small dogs make a great alarm.
Really depends on how you've raised the dog, breed, and depends on how the intruder acts. If the intruder was aggressive, they most likely would've reacted differently.
its easy to train your dogs to guard your house. 1. Never let them see people outside your house. 2. if got people come visiting your house lock away your dogs at backyards because it will makes them become friendly with strangers Got once two burglars broke into my house my dog german Shepherd almost kill one of burglars bite his hand and never lets go until i come home and found out. His hand almost severed and the other burglar run aways. Blood over the living rooms. Importantly never let your dogs seen strangers inside your house. These will make them furious to strangers.
Saying you wouldn't be able to have any visitors and you'd have to lock the dog up is a bit of a stretch, if it is a legitimately well trained protection dog.
The dogs just become the guard if the owner just keep them at home and do not let them play with other people. If not with them everyone is friend, but I really do not want to keep a "tiger" in my house🤣
Maybe because ppl treat dogs as toys. We used to have dog outsides at all times, protecting the house like its meant to be. No one could get in the house without permission.
I tried this with my friend my dog never with met my 12 year old daughter at home alone and my golden retriever barked and when my friend went up to my daughter he bit her but she had the suit on I was very happy with my golden retriever that day
