Does protection service put the German Shepherd „on edge“ (Does protection service make my dog aggressive?) Do protection dogs bite more and are they involved in accidents more often?
This question can be answered with a clear NO.
Just as we humans like to do sports and burn off energy in stress situations, dogs also need to do physical exercise. In protection service, the dogs can work off pent-up stress and their aggression. Additionally, the dogs learn to be obedient even in situations of stress and strain.
