NO harm in having a dog as a guard dog ... As long as they are treated right and are also respected and given love
How Do I Train My Dog To Be A Guard Dog?
The first and most important thing is that if you want a dog specifically for the purpose of being a guard dog, then you need to buy the right breed. The fact is that if your dog has a friendly, good natured disposition, it might do more harm than good to try and train it to be a guard dog. You need to check the breed characteristics of the dog you want as training will depend on the breed.
Like any training, you need to reward behaviours that you would like to see repeated and punish those that you want to stop. You need to train your dog to be indifferent toward other dogs, particularly of the opposite sex. They need to learn to ignore cats as well since it could cause distractions. You might want your dog to stay quiet until an intruder actually attempts to get into your property before attacking. It is probably best to train them to not chase after the intruder.
You can start training your dog even as a puppy. They tend to retain lessons learned in the earlier stages of their life and it helps build on your dogs personality.

You should NEVER get a dog for the sole/only real purpose of being a guard dog. They are not security systems, they are living beings in need of social interaction. Shame on you
Lay his life for yours? You're disgusting. You should want to do the sane for him if he is your best friend. Your obvioulsy a very self obsessed person.
