He Says A Dog Protects Your Family Better Than A Gun… Is He Right?

About this video

Colion responds to a podcast clip where a protection dog trainer argues that dogs are superior to guns for home defense. Colion counters that while he sees value in dogs as early warning systems, the trainer overstates their effectiveness and wrongly claims that 98% of gun owners lack adequate training. Colion argues that homeowners don’t need elite-level skills to defend themselves effectively with firearms, and advocates for a layered security approach that includes both dogs and guns.

Key takeaways

• Colion believes the protection dog trainer overstates what dogs can do while underestimating what armed homeowners can accomplish with basic firearms proficiency
• According to Colion, most people don’t need extensive tactical training to effectively use a gun in self-defense—range time and the right mindset are often sufficient against common criminals
• Colion recommends a layered security approach combining early warning systems (alarms, cameras, dogs), passive defenses (reinforced doors), and firearms as the final line of defense
