protection dog
Canine personal security
A protection dog is a dog trained to defend its owner or property on command.
Unlike guard dogs that may work independently, protection dogs typically live as family pets and respond to specific handler instructions.
The training emphasizes controlled aggression—the dog must engage threats but also disengage reliably: The protection dog released immediately when his handler called him off.
