Dogs for Personal Protection
Any of us are susceptible to an invasion of our home or personal space. Having another soul to rely on can make a situation a lot less frightening and a lot more safe. A dog, for example, can be not only an extremely loyal companion, but an excellent source of security.
General Positives and Negatives of Owning a Dog for Protection
Positives
Safety ? if you live in a big city, bad neighborhood, etc. having a dog can be a constant reassurance of safety, and in general the image of a dog being with you makes you less susceptible for attack
Confidence/fulfillment ? achieving goals with your dog is motivating and helps you feel accomplished
Companionship/emotional support ? having a dog can be highly stress relieving
Socializing ? you meet a host of people when involving yourself in training dogs
