Oh no thanks, I was looking for a simple answer, not to start WWIII, or is it WWIV by now? Maybe I'll go google and see what I come up with before I start a shit slinging thread. I only asked out of curiousity because I'm a lefty, so obviously everything I do is with my left hand, and was curious about that - not that you frequently meet the like 9% of the population that is off-handed or whatnot.ooh boy...
start a new thread...title it "weapon hand?" \\/
Are Dogs Trained to Bite ..... Weapons ?
YES, dogs that bite are weapons

I am left handed as well and found it interesting that in my line of work (Customs Broker) that a surprising number of the employees were left handed. Not to derail the topic, just commenting on what you said.- not that you frequently meet the like 9% of the population that is off-handed or whatnot.
You can train a dog to bite for sports, cleanly, full grips, etc. but, and for me this is a big but, you can't "train" a dog to guard home and family.
Both my GSDs bite well with full grips - that's what I bought them for - Schutzhund.
However, this has nothing to do with the dogs protective instincts. My Landseer would attack anyone who tried to near me offensively.
The same applies to the Fila Brasileiro but both were miserable Schutzhund dogs.
I know the older GSD would pack someone who tried to harm me.
Maybe the younger one, too. Last night we had the neighbours in for Cheese Fondue! They have Buster's sister, Boa, and hopefully, are used to monsters!
We let the younger GSD loose after the meal and, Darach, as is his wont, nerved them, whereby on their rejections, he uttered nasty barks. This dog absolutely loves people, kids, etc. but I have now realised will not accept "push-offs" from our guests.
Good to know

Best sign I know of is

No, best sign ever is "Never mind the dog, beware of owner" with a pic of a 45.
At the old house I used to have sign posted that read,

I think a trained dog is neutral. COULD be used as a weapon. But in and of itself, not a weapon.
Kind of like a baseball bat, or an axe...not weapons unless you decide to use them as one...

I agree and the dog should stay neutral until asked otherwise. :wink:
