BOARD & TRAIN

I don’t take on a lot of dogs but for the serious owners that don’t have the luxury of a good trainer or lack the time, I can board and train and build a dog to suit the objective at hand. This is more of a passion and then a business for me. I charge for my time, the gratification I get from the change is what keeps me motivated. The dog lives with me in my home and I spend at least 2 hours a day one on one with the dog. It basically boils down to $100 a day with food which in essence is super affordable considering to board a dog over night can start at $35 at a boarding facility. Mandatory requirements are a crate trained dog. If I have to deal with a puppy, the time spent will be more and the price goes up. It’s in your best interest to teach a dog to deal with confinement. With a good dog I can do phenomenal things and its not uncommon to have advanced obedience done in a month. $3000/month

KEEP IN MIND…Not all dogs are created equal… A quality dog, bred out of a purpose in mind, will be easier to train for that purpose BECAUSE OF GENETIC DISPOSITION. I will do my job to the ability of the dog at hand and will keep you informed about progress. In other words, don’t tell me you want a Lamborghini and send me a Ford motor with a Honda transmission. Send me Lamborghini parts. All dogs are different and respond different to scenarios.

My goal is too build a solid foundation of obedience and confidence with positive experiences so that the willingness to please will be easy to build up from. I prepare them for real world encounters and enable them to asses and act accordingly in all aspects. These are preliminary basics but not limited too..

Once the above stage is properly realized, then we can move forward to advanced stages of obedience and possibly protection or service dog work

PERSONAL PROTECTION

There are many levels and differences in TRAINING A WATCH DOG, GUARD DOG, LAW ENFORCEMENT K9, & PERSONAL PROTECTION DOG. ITS NOT AS SIMPLISTIC AS ONE WOULD THINK. The term personal protection gets thrown around by people who really don’t know what that means. A real personal protection dog doesn’t mean you can’t take him everywhere and get petted by everyone. He/she has a job and any threat will be recognized and confronted. A false move by a friend or stranger can result in a bad outcome. Dogs trained like this can transfer bites, can or cannot be grabbed, react and recognize threatening movement, refuse food, ect. Most people don’t need this level of training even though they feel they do. This comes with a lot of responsibility and is not for 99% of people. Any dogs that are not specifically bred for its specific job can become a mess. Breed and specifically the lines within are of utmost importance.  The individual dog at that point then has parameters to stay within. This will then make training a success. There are all kinds of options in training. Most people just need a threat or scare tactic. Usually, thats enough to make a possible threat forget the idea. Intimidation works wonders and the physical look is what packs a punch. A PIT BULL IS A CRAPPY PERSONAL PROTECTION/GUARD DOG OUT THE BOX. With training and the proper genetics they can be personal protection dogs BUT REQUIRE MORE COMPLICATED TRAINING. A BELGIAN MALINOIS has become a super prey driven dog that is probably not good for a typical family and has lost some of the protective nature. A DUTCH SHEPHERD is becoming the Malinois but at one point had a few differences other than coat. The ROTTWEILER was the king of guarding a compound followed closely by the GERMAN SHEPHERD.  Both of these breeds are losing these traits because of lack of knowledge in breeding and crappy home suitability. Because of all the issues with the breeds above, I have designed my own breed for a family personal protection dog. Something very in tuned with the handler, short coat, athletic, healthy, and has an off switch. This breed is called THE BULLETPROOF HYBRID.  Barking on command with a bite if pushed is mostly what people really want.  For law enforcement, I have a line of Dutch shepherd with a clear mind very in tuned with the handler with lots of hunt drive.

There are tons of options but the handler needs to take responsibility for having a dog according to its individual training and specific job. No real trainer will train this type of work for just anyone who wants a dog to bite with no solid reasoning.

Properly trained dogs can take a few months and up to 2 years for a executive personal protection dog built up from a puppy. A mid level personal protection dog can be upwards of $15,000 and can be up to $60,000 for a executive personal protection dog.  A green law enforcement  dog still needs to be over a year old so that preliminary hip and elbow and health can be checked and free from defects. As you can see, starting with the right dog is crucial in sake of losing time and money.
