I was reading a little about "perimeter" trained dogs, and visited some sites which referenced them. I also searched the forum, but did not find enough of an answer.
A description I saw was: "Used to patrol perimeter areas and will attack, without handler presence, any human target."
This is both interesting and a little confusing to me. What type of setting would these dogs be used in, would it be an estate or some type of business security?
Do these dogs recognize their handler/owners?
If targeting a human, are they trained only to subdue the human target with an initial attack, or to continue until the person is fatally injured?

Andy - My understanding of perimeter training is simply training a dog to stay within a certain boundary without any physical enforcement such as a fence. Maybe I'm wrong?

From my understanding - these dogs recognize their handlers, and security companies often have contracts that require THEM to come out and re-kennel the dogs in the morning, but the business owner is able to release them at night without being able to get bitten (the gate is released from outside a fence for example). My breeder has a dog like this who patrols his 7 acres at night and bites what she sees - and during the day she's in a kennel. I could be wrong, but this is what I've understood from it. The dogs work inside a fence, something like a junkyard dog but has been trained to be a junkyard dog (you'd think so anyway) rather than becoming a junkyard dog thru neglect and lack of socialization.

I'm not sure of the exact terminology, but I believe these dogs are called "Sentry Dogs". I could be very wrong, but that's in my mind for some reason.
Useful settings are large sealed wharehouses. Vast areas in combat zones, how bout, your own backyard? How bout junk yards? Isn't that really what a junkyard dog really is? Somebody's gotta protect all that junk <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

The dog you are talking about is a sentry dog there main and only real job was to patrol an area where the enemy was present and prevent surges. In civy terms: the dog woud walk around the base and stop the bad guy from jumping he fence. This type of dog has been "discontinued" by the military. They where great at what they did but they where a one person dog. Walking the wall in GErmany was really the last post for these dog. The ones that where still in germany at that time were put in Ammo points the held *hush hush* Nukes but with all of that gone *wink wink* there was no use for them and they lived out there lives in kennels in Germany and Korea. Now they are a thing of the past.
