As a trainer of law enforcement dogs for many years I can tell you right now don't even consider the idea of 'self training'. Firstly you will end up with an unpredictable dog that will without a doubt end up biting someone. At the same time not all dogs are capable of being trained to that level, plus the training time involved can last two years and more. Most importantly, and this is something most people don't realize. If the dog is 'self taught', that is the owner attempts to train the dog themselves, even if the dog is on it's own property and bites an intruder, that intruder can sue, AND HE WILL WIN. Why? because the dog isn't trained by a professional. Something to consider.
