House protection program

Program Overview    

  • Continuing to act as a family pet, our course will develop the fiercely loyal nature of a dog that exhibits a high level of control, giving you the peace of mind that your family and household will be protected at all times.

  • Not a weapon, your dog will protect and preserve private property, acting as a security alarm

  • A dog that is always alert but understands the countries of its behavior inside and outside your home

  • (home purpose only, not a Security or Guard dog)

    Course timeframe & Pricing 

Enrollment requirements

  • Only suitable for certain breeds - even within these breeds not every dog is the same

    or capable of doing protection/bite work

  • 6 weeks comprise of 2-week basic obedience training where your dog will be assessed for suitability

  • Generally, the most used breeds are German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois,

    Rottweiler, Doberman, (American Bully?) (Akita?)

  • Typically the 4-week protection side of the course will need to be at 8-12 months.

  • However, the minimum age can differ greatly based on breed & character - our suggestion is to book the dog in for a Basic Obedience course and the trainer will evaluate suitability (NOTE: must have adult teeth for protection work)

  • Course can be split e.g. first 2 weeks at 3 months old, final 4 weeks at 8 months

  • No anxious dogs
