Dogs are absolutely amazing creatures. Since we started domesticating them, we have given them more responsibility and jobs than you can think. They stand beside us in combat and fighting crime, they keep us warm at night, they help us raise our cattle and sheep, and the list goes on and on. One of those jobs is that of an attack dog. How, then, do you train an attack dog without them becoming a liability to the rest of your family and neighborhood?
Mainly attack dogs have a use in law enforcement, but there are some uses at home. Attack dogs differ from guard dogs in that they're taught to bite or attack on command by their owner. Guard dogs are taught to defend an area, whether it be by barking or biting. They don't require a verbal command to be protective of the area, but do it because they're trained to.
In reality, if you want to train an attack dog, you should visit a professional training program. There are too many risks and possibilities for them to get out of control during this extremely high risk training. If you don't have the right controls in place, the dog may not be able to discern the difference between when you are asking it to attack and when you're not, which will lead to them attacking at will.
Just like you have to take a firearms course, you are training yourself and your dog how to handle a lethal weapon. You shouldn't take this lightly by any means.
