I can totally understand how you feel. I have dogs that I had prior to my illness (and are the only reason I am still here as they gave me purpose and got me through when I was seriously considering ending my life), who I have had to 'house train' to use puppy mats during the times I don't feel able to venture outside. Even when I am able to exercise them outside, should I see a person, hear a noise I cannot explain etc. I have to return home immediately and secure my home accordingly.
Yep, there is a reason I own a pitbull. A very VERY sweet dog, well trained, but still protective. So though he loves people and what not, if he thinks someone, even someone he knows well and loves, is about to hurt me, he is on top of that.
Dont think many would try. He was raised with 4 kids for 2 years and so his temperment is wonderful and gentle but he is protective all everyone. Including if you yell "help". He's like Lassie and goes to find someone lol. I never trained him to do that.
Makes it hard to watch horror movies though. Sometimes he thinks the screams are real lol.
