Personal Protection and Obedience combination
for dog from 1 year old
Protection Training is done in combination with Obedience Training.
It is to be noted
that not all dogs have the same genetic disposition, temperament or physical ability. Although we aim to meet a standard some dogs do not become "Man stopper" material but are an effective deterrent and an essential early warning system.
In Protection Training we begin by enhancing your dogs natural protective instincts and can develop it right through to high level Police work.
The correct breeds must be chosen. Not all dogs have the temperament for high level training.
Most dogs can have their natural protective and territorial instincts developed but do not have the strength of character to handle advanced training.
We cannot guarantee the outcome of the training nor the effectiveness as much is dependant on your ability to handle the dog and the ability to control the environment. It is important that follow up training is completed.
Evaluating your dog’s temperament and attitude to your family is of utmost importance. Take special care in evaluating your dog’s attitude to children. Do not train family dogs which have any temperament faults and be honest in your assessment. Do not cover up any issues of bad temperament. Dogs which are already good with the family and are of correct breeding will not alter in personality.
