Which DVDs/courses should I watch to develop a good protection dog?
Full Question:
I have a one year old Belgian Malinois that I want to work with for protection training and bite work. I am fairly new to dog training and would like to know which courses and/or DVDs I should watch, and in what order should I take them to develop a good protection dog. Thank you! ![Cindy](https://leerburg.com/Photos/articles/authors/cindyrhodes.jpg)

For the foundation of protection training, I'd recommend the Michael Ellis's The Foundation of Puppy Bitework as well as his Teaching Protection Skills without a Decoy videos.
The puppy bitework foundation is for dogs from 8 weeks to 18 months and it's the place to start.
