Thats not the case with our dylan! he`s 2 1/2 and would lick anyone that came into our garden to death
and then he would go and get larry the lobster for them to throw for him!
.our little dog can sound quite scary though,even though she only weighs 2.5kg
and she doesnt mind taking a bite of someones ankle!
Have you got outside security lights? these are a good deterrent.I agreethat its not really a good idea to train your dog to protect you,could lead to problems.you could get a couple of geese(seriously) you gotta be brave or stupid to try to get passed them.
