This is a professional military working dog. They have 'handlers,' and that person's entire full-time job, EVERY DAY, is to train the dog. It is an intensely grueling schedule and very exhausting. Most police departments will have working dogs as well, and they have the same kind of schedule. It's a touchy business and should probably only be done by professionals with 100% of their time committed. I would not recommend it.

It takes a college degree in animal behavior to train a dog to do this. If you are seriously considering it as a career I can get you more info, but it's not something you can just train your pet dog to do. Also, it may be illegal in some areas to train a dog to attack. It could be considered a form of training for dog fighting and can get you 2 years in jail.

What area do you live in, and what is your target animal to work with, dogs?

UNfortunately I'm not familiar with schools in your area. Your first step should be to find a university that you can get a 4-year degree in animal behavior or zoology. From there you can look into specialty training schools that focus on training dogs to either be police or military dogs, or there are other places that specialize in tricks and training for things like film and ads.

Good luck.

Thanks so much!
This dog was lightning fast, and ruthless, the guy wearing the suit said that it hurt even inside the suit. I love the expression on his face!

Thanks! I had a friend standing next to me filming, and after we watched his video and compared my pic he couldn't believe how fast I was to catch it. I really just anticipated it coming and got a good one!
Thanks for the comment!

Hehe. He's in a dogbite suit, so he was a little bruised, but okay.
