A DOG TRAINER has revealed the top three guard dog breeds to go for if you want a pup to protect your family and home.
Will Atherton, from Derbyshire, regularly shares his insight on dog breeds on his TikTok account (@iamwillatherton).
In a recent video, the canine behaviourist revealed his favourite pooches that make the best pet when it comes to safeguarding the home and family.
He said: "As a canine behaviourist I know there are many different reasons to have a guard dog breed.
The first breed the dog expert recommended comes as no surprise to his followers, the Cane Corso.
He said: "If you're looking for a guard dog breed to live in your home with you and your family and also make a great pet, it's hard to choose against the Cane Corso."
