Protection dog, Banshee, will say it with her whole chest! She is a very friendly and outgoing girl, but when she hears that command, she knows it’s time to protect! In most cases, just the bark command is enough to deter someone. The best case scenario is that your dog never has to bite. But in case that warning is not scary enough, we train them to escalate… Interested in a True Guard protection dog or need to have your own dog trained?
