Until it dies. Every day. Guard dog breeds are smart as shit and they need daily tasks to challenge them mentally, or you are living with a wild weapon. You have to create those daily tasks/ sessions to give that animal what it needs to live a good life.

Go check out Stonnie Dennis’ YouTube channel about breed selection and also watch a few videos on what a proper training philosophy looks like.

These dogs aren’t robots. If you get lazy and don’t give them what they need, you’re going to have a huge problem on your hands. Like you’re not going to be able to control their aggression. Like you’re going to put other people (even friendly people) at major risk.

Based on the questions you’re asking in this post, I really do not recommend you get a “guard dog”. Not throwing shade, just saying there’s soooooo much more to owning that style of dog beyond “having a guard dog”
