Private in-home protection dog training is our specialty. We have been working with protection dogs in and around Phoenix since 2007. Just because your dog barks or shows teeth to strangers does not mean he will back you up in a fight. Home invasions, kidnapping, and carjacking are all on the rise. Don’t get caught off guard; most Phoenix pets will not protect you. Enroll your dog in our protection program. Think of it as a martial arts class for you and your dog as a team.
A privately trained personal protection dog that is also a family pet can provide an added layer of security to the household. With their inherent loyalty and protective instincts, these dogs are trained to quickly assess potential threats and act accordingly, ensuring the safety of the family.
The bond between the family and the personal protection dog is strengthened through training sessions, creating a partnership built on trust and communication. This bond allows the dog to become more attuned to the family’s needs and aware of their normal routines, making it easier for them to identify any unusual or potentially dangerous situations.
Furthermore, the layout of the household is taken into consideration during the dog’s training. By familiarizing the dog with different areas of the house, such as entry points or key areas where family members spend time, the dog can quickly respond to any signs of intrusion, providing an added sense of security to all family members.
The training is suitable for pet dogs with a high prey drive. We are good if your dog loves to play tug of war with a rope. The training will not make your dog mean or less of a pet. It will give the dog and handler the tools needed to act when threatened. It is for people who want peace of mind knowing their dog knows how to protect. Don’t wait for it to happen; get the peace of mind you deserve. Sign up for training today.
We can either start from scratch and begin working with your existing dog if it has the right drive. and progress it’s training through the phases of protection training I offer or we can custom tailor a package specific to your needs or requirements. If you own a dog that you believe is suitable for this type of training you are required to take a basic obedience course or pass an obedience evaluation prior to enrolling your dog in protection training. Not all dogs have a high enough prey drive to complete this type of training so an evaluation will need to be conducted prior to enrolling in this program.
You may also purchase an already trained protection dog from an outside breeder or training facility anywhere in the world. We can custom-tailor a package suited to your dog’s ability to maintain or improve its initial protection training level. You can trust us to protect your whole family with top-quality personal protection dogs. While protection dogs are obedient guardians, they’re also social and family-oriented.
Training procedures ensure all of our protection dogs get complete on-leash and off-leash obedience for total control. Along with obedience training, these dogs are socialized and trained to live in your house. Let our trainer help you locate a fully trained dog from our global resources.

Before moving to off leash the team must prove proficient at drop leash attacks. Once the team reaches 90% reliability we make the transition into off-leash attacks.
This is when an attack occurs at a distance of 20 yards or more.
This training is to increase the dogs drive, aim, courage, and grip. The dog will be secured on a long line and a harness. The handler will praise the dog for encouragement and reinforcement during the training. During agitation training, we will also use training tools to simulate a hostile attacker engaging the dog. The dog will receive several bites during the training.
Violent attacker description: A violent decoy may yell, grunt, scream, and thrash while working the dog. The attacker may run towards the dog brandishing a training weapon, whip, gun or other objects. Once the dog is holding the sleeve the attacker may slap the sleeve with his hand or the training tool. For advanced dogs, the training will eventually transition into the decoy striking the dog lightly with the training tool. The decoy may cover the dog’s eyes while the attack is occurring.
Bite Sleeves: We typically use two types of equipment during the training process. During the initial phases of training, we begin with a rag, toy, or rope. After 1 or 2 sessions we make the transition into the burlap sleeve. After the first block of training. We will transition to a hidden sleeve for some attacks. This is used to demonstrate the dog will attack without visible protection equipment. This will be done during different training exercises.
Interior building search = dog team is utilized to sweep the interior of the building with a decoy hiding inside. This training includes agitation from behind a door or in plain sight, a bite, a release, and an escort.
A dog team will be utilized to search the exterior of a building with the decoy hiding around corners or behind bushes. Several bites will be conducted during these exercises. They will also include agitation, subject search, and escort.
It’s a dog team that is utilized to search an open area for the decoy. These drills will primarily use air scenting techniques. They will include agitation, bites, subject search, and escort.
Dog provides over-watch during subject apprehension and search. The dog is drop leash and placed in the stay position while the handler approaches and conducts a pat down on the decoy. If the decoy attacks, the dog automatically responds with a bite. The dog should hold until the suspect gives up. When a violent attacker or subject becomes compliant the handler is allowed to finish the pat down and escort the subject to the target location. If the handler does not get attacked during the search then the handler moves 10 feet behind the decoy’s left side and calls the dog to the heel position.
A dog team directs a subject to a specific area. If the subject runs the dog will be sent to attack. Once the dog has received the bite the subject surrenders and the handler calls the dog off the attack. After the dog is called out and has returned to the side of the handler the team remains behind the decoy to escort them to the target location and the escort is complete. If the dog is sent to attack and the decoy gives up prior to reaching the decoy the handler calls the dog off the attack. The handler will command the dog to the heel position and the escort will continue to the designated area.
