I don't want an attack dog.

I want an alarm dog. A small guy that can bark if the door is breached and has sensitive enough ears to hear quieter entries than me, but will hide with the cats.

An "attack" dog just gets in the way of my line of fire.

You would train the attack dog to get out of the way when you're armed, and attack when you're unarmed

Always armed.

And I guess you mean I'd teach it to retreat behind me when I yell "clear" or something? But even then, most gun fights outside of like prolonged warfare last an average of about three literal seconds. Ain't no time for dog commands.
