Should We Teach The Dog To Bark During Protection Or Not

People ask me all the time: “Should a personal protection dog bark—or be silent?” In this episode, I’m diving deep into the answer based on decades of experience training police dogs, military dogs, and personal protection dogs.

▶️ Whether you're working with a green dog or you're already on the path, this conversation will help you understand when barking is useful—and when it can cause problems.

Here’s what I talk about:

When barking helps—and when it’s smarter for a dog to stay silent

Why certain police departments require bark-and-hold to avoid lawsuits

The difference between sport-style barking and real-world protection

What I learned from the Czech Border Patrol (where silence was the rule)

How you can train your dog to think before reacting—and protect you safely

I also walk through stories from my own dogs—including Gero, a legendary dog who figured out on his own how to guard silently and effectively.
