K9 Personal Protection

Personal protection dogs are grossly misunderstood often seen as
vicious and uncontrollable. This couldn't be further from the truth.

All the protection dogs that we train are well socialized, very
obedient and are sound canine citizens. Trained protection dogs are
taught to bite only on command. What is the point of having a
protection dog if you cannot go out in public with him?
Also another misconception is that a protection dog cannot be a
family dog, this is also untrue. All the dogs we train can interact safely with
family, people and other dogs.

Some training facilities advertise canine protection training with
disastrous results, giving little thought as to whether the dog is
suited to this kind of activity. Personal protection is complex and
should only be taught by an experienced trainer. We are methodical
in our training methods and will only advance the dog as we see fit.

Lots of owner's choose personal protection training purely as an
activity they can do with their dog. There are many competitions
held just for this purpose. These are really fun activities you and
your dog can do together.

We also understand that not everyone has the same requirements
so we will work with you and tailor a program specifically for your
needs.

All dogs participating in our personal protection program are
evaluated before being allowed to start protection training.

Also a dog that displays no desire to do this kind of activity will not
be forced to do protection training.

Each lesson consists of approx one half hour of group obedience
followed by 3 sessions of bite work which includes
Bite building, sleeve and tug work, civil agitation,
Bite suit & hidden suit work and scenarios.
Your dog will learn sends from a distance, call offs, protection of handler,
how to deal with multiple attackers, Vehicle protection.
These are just a few of the many things your dog will learn at Elite-K9.
