Attack dog training is required for any guard dog and especially for police dogs. It is an important part of the whole dog training process.

Dogs are predators by nature and have strong instincts. They attack when they are threatened, provoked, annoyed or distracted in some way (by noises, if someone hurts them, etc). A well trained dog should ignore everything that surrounds him and focus on the dog owner’s commands. It is like capturing the aggression and letting it go upon command. It sounds pretty hard for a person let alone for a dog. Moreover, a dog should not react to any common situations (or people’s behavior) similar to the ones used to teach him to attack. The second part – to stop the attack upon command is even harder. Trainers are using various techniques to teach a dog to attack. Usually they include provocation – taking food away from the dog, trying to hit it, provoking the dog and than running, looking the dog directly into the eyes, etc. All of these are conducted under strict control and (provided that the dog has excellent obedience training) are stopped at any moment the trainer decided. Various repetitions of the same exercise are required in order to achieve maximum results.
