Does Your Pet Have Special Potential?

Special Potential Dog Training

It is now possible to tell if your dog has extra abilities from a very young age. We are not talking about crime fighting or martial art skills; many guide dogs and protection dogs come from identification as puppies.

The ability to act as a guide dog is a usually reserved for strong and placid beasts such as Labradors or Golden Retrievers. It requires excellent signs of patience, observation and quickness of thought.

Guard and family protection dogs are usually German Shepherds or Alsatians. They are natural protectors and when trained properly can be better than any house alarm.

How can I tell if my dog has the skills?

The main skills to look out for in a potential guard dog include a desire to front noises or strangers, an alerting bark and a keen ear. If your puppy displays the above and active enjoyment to protect your home, then you may have a great watchdog for your home. Many actually purchase such breeds for this very reason, others stumble upon it.

What should I do about it?

There is no obligation as an owner to develop these skills but it may lead to a happy and needful life for your canine. It will also improve behaviour and maintain a healthy and safe streak through your household.

There are however many dogs with specific skills that will never fully realise their potential and experience happy lives with their families. Train your pet to fulfil whatever role is needed for you.
