A DOG trainer has revealed the best guard dog breed for first time owners.<\/p>\n

Will Atherton, from the UK, took to social media to share what he thinks is the perfect big breed for those who have never owned a pooch before.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"What is the best guard dog breed for new owners?" The expert dog trainer began.<\/p>\n

While snuggling with his pet Labrador, Will revealed this wasn't the dog for you if you want it to have a sense of protection.<\/p>\n

"Although I love the Labrador, it's no secret that these gentle giants might not make the best guarding breed, even if they are perfect for new owners," he added.<\/p>\n

Instead, the dog expert recommended a much larger dog to bring home.<\/p>\n

He explained proper guard dog breeds should be left to experienced dog owners who know how to train them and read behaviour cues.<\/p>\n

He continued: "In reality, if you think you need a guard dog, what you need is for a burglar to not break into your house in the first place.<\/p>\n

"To achieve that you don't need guarding skills, you need intimidation factor.<\/p>\n

"A dog that will bark if somebody is coming around your house that shouldn't be, a deep, thunderous bark."<\/p>\n

"I think it's a wonderful choice for first time owners looking for guarding skills," he added.<\/p>\n

It's important to note that all dogs should be properly trained.<\/p>\n

The clip posted to the dog expert's TikTok account @iamwillatherton has since gone viral with over 120k views and 8,000 likes.<\/p>\n

Fellow dog lovers were quick to share their thoughts in the comments section.<\/p>\n

One person wrote: "Grew up with a Newf. Best dog that ever was."<\/p>\n

Another commented: "Always had Newfoundlands and they are imo the best big dog for beginners and families with kids."<\/p>\n

"While I love Newfies\u2026the ones I met would lead a burglar right to the goods for any type of treat," penned a third.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile a fourth said: "I have a Newfie\/lab mix. He's perfect. Big scary bark while hiding under the table just in case."<\/p>\n
