A 'guard dog' is a dog trained to protect property or people by actively deterring threats. They are trained to defend and, if necessary, attack. Unlike watchdogs, they don't just alert; they act. Think of them as the security guards of the canine world. 👮 They are usually larger and more physically imposing than watchdogs. Training is crucial to ensure they are safe and controlled. Proper socialization is important to prevent aggression.
