Dogs have been used for many years, even centuries, as defenders of man. Most of the kings and queens from history used dogs as a first defense. There are many pictures in history books and paintings of royalty with their dogs. Many breeds of dogs were created for better defense of their owners and the next generation of royalty.
Owning a dog can be a marvelous thing. Dogs are "mans best friend" for a number of reasons, not just for self defense or protection. Taking the dog for a walk can give you some much needed exercise. The walk in the neighborhood allows you to meet your neighbors. When you are able to know your neighbors and they know you, protection of the entire neighborhood is enhanced. With everyone working together a watch can be started. Many neighborhoods now have a neighborhood watch program. These areas are typically safer because everyone is working in unison to protect themselves and their friends, the neighbors.
The true worth of a dog for self defense purposes though lies in the behavior of the animal. If the dog constantly barks at every little noise and every person that comes within the dogs hearing or sight distance, there is no benefit to the owner. You want to train the dog to bark when there is something out of the ordinary. There are many books and videos on dog training and professional dog trainers available. Make use of them to enjoy your dog and provide yourself with a long time friend and defender.
