I had a Standard Poodle who was a very good watchdog. Distant with strangers, and would growl if the stranger was in an isolated area while we were walking. A neighbourhood kid came into the house, opened the front door and walked in without knocking. Primo just grabbed his arm, gently enough, and held him there until I came. Wouldn't let him move. Another time we had a guy from Peru in the house who thought he was a dog expert, kept playing rough with Primo until I had to tell him to stop, he thought he was becoming friends with him. A week or so later, we heard Primo roaring at the back door, ran out to look - and the Peruvian guy's car was sitting out front, and he had disappeared. He had tried to just walk into the house without knocking, and Primo would not let him open the door. Obviously he thought that "making friends" with him earlier would enable him to walk in unchallenged. No training, but he would have made a great PP dog. And I had a male Airedale who really was very good at watching over his foolish owner, ie me. He tended to bark at people who he thought were threats, but didn't approach them or touch them, just barked, really loud, sort of pushing his chest out towards the intruder or weird person.

Very cool to see the dog get some TLC to bring the brain back to a relaxed state
Glad you enjoyed it
