This is more a hypothetical question that anything else. I have noticed while walking my Rottie that the most aggressive/property protective dogs are those kept on a leash outside their houses. In addition, most of these dogs are only allowed to socialise with their direct family and are kept in cages at night time.
Is this a good way to bring out the aggression in your dog?
The reason for that is the lack of freedom builds frustration and makes for a potentially dangerous dog. Genetics and training is the key to protection training any dog.
I'm not a dog expert, but IMO training a dog to be aggressive through lack of socialisation is stupid and irresponsible. It can ruin a very good dog, and make it unpredictable and dangerous.
I knew a guy who had a Doberman and wanted him to be aggressive. What the idiot did was tie the dog in his unfenced yard, throw a raw bone in front of it just close enough so the dog could almost touch it. The dog would lunge and try to attack anyone who walked by it. In the end the dog turned into a psycho. He had to lock him up when people came over to visit and I swear it sounded as if the dog was gonna break down the door.
That just makes me mad <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
Andy,
Your scaring me man....was that a real question or are you just bored? I think you have been around here long enough to know that, what you describe is not dog training at all or a way to premote aggression, a faster way to create a psyco dog that is aggressive would be to tie him up and have your friends come over and whip him for about 2 min each every day...does that sound like a good way to bring out aggression? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
The only thing that kind of "Training" I hate to even call it that, will create is a kid killing, old person scarring, un-outable, bite your owner next in line for the death chamber kinda dog.
Don't even go there if your thinking about it. Don't even post a reply about it... just put it out of your mind....
Ahhhhh I told you not to think about it anymore.. why are you still reading?

Actually, you all hit the nail on the head. this kind of "training" is stupid, assinine, moronic, irresponsible(stop me before I break a blood vessel) yada yada yada. I hate it when I see a dog tied out. Talk about a bad way to frustrate a dog and create a danger. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
Andy,
In no way am I knocking you on this. You were just asking a question. If anything, I'm glad people ask questions like this so that people can be educated, and not do these type of things. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Hey everybody,
I understand what Andy's saying. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> In 3rd world countries this is seen all over. One reason that only family members can get around these dogs is to keep them from being stolen.
this has always <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> me. These same homes have soild fences with broken glass inbedded on the top. Go figure, not everyone has it as good as we do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Long ago in the prison system dogs were mistreated by the inmates using these methods. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
Thankfully traning methods have improved.
Andy, becareful were you venture. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Yeah and in 3rd world countries they do shit like eat dogs. I think the correct answer has been given that this is not the correct way to "train" a dog for protection. Vince summed it up:
