It's getting harder and harder to find good ones and more importantly breeders are beginning to keep their pick pups. Not to mention hard headed Rotties do take a little extra time with obedience, let's just be honest! Anybody worth a half pound of dirt will make you take a handler's course to insure you can safely handle and own the dog. They should also tell you when it's legal. We're talking a price tag of 8,000 pounds or better. A fully trained Rottweiler is going to be a lot of money.

Also, keep in mind that a Rottweiler of the quality you're trying to find is extremely rare these days. It will cost you on average 4 or 5 times as much as a German Shepherd with the same abilities. Anyone who sells a dog like this would teach you the correct way to handle him. You're not going to learn to train...simply to handle. The term "Attack on Command" is way over-used. 1 in a million dogs is capable of attacking on command with no stimulation. The dog will always be aware of a threat before you though....he will let you know when there is a problem. Having a dog that will "Attack on command" has no practical purpose...unless you just want him to bite people for fun. Greekman answered perfectly.

A dog selected for that type of work was bred, raised and trained for it. That type of dog is NOT aggressive in the way people seem to think it is...it is a well trained animal that has been bred and trained in order to have certain drives in it genetically and these drives are then expressed through training. These dogs can cost a lot of money and rightly so. They can interact with family, kids, go places and meet people, anything that you would normally do with a dog, plus, they are MUCH more stable and predictable as opposed to the average dog that is a bag of nerves and will just react out of fear. Hope I helped!! Please ignore all people who tell you that a dog will protect out of instinct, love or anything other then training.

Yes, the one is more apt to do so than the others, but... I would never consider having any dog trained as a protections dog and expect it to also make a great pet. There is a very fine line between guard dogs and making them pets. I personally do not see the sense in that. But, like I said, I know my one girl would protect me when and if the situation would ever arise. Sorry, I do not know any good trainers in the UK. I know of a couple of good breeders, but.... I think you should learn and decide what you are looking for in a dog, then approach a couple of different breeders. If they are good reputable breeders, and know their dogs, bloodlines, and personalities, they may be able to select the correct puppy for you. One that will grow up and mature into a good, alert, protective dog, but does not necessarily need the kind of training that may push it into a "deeper" form of protection work than what you really want. EDIT: I do believe the first poster said more elegantly, what I was trying to explain. A good protection dog will protect, but not attack unless commanded to. Whereas a guard dog, or dog trained for police work will attack first, ask questions later. My Rottweilers will instinctively guard me, in any given situation.

From what i know of protection dogs you need to get a professional to help you but unless its a police dog they should not attack people and police dogs are trained to be with 1 handler and you don’t socialize the dog with people or you end up being bitten they will bite any one apart from there handler police dogs are dangerous

My brother is a dog handler in the metropolitan police and his dog can only be handled by him
