Martial Arts for Dogs

With the rise of crime rate throughout the country, many people are Protection training their family dog. I offer three different levels of personal/home protection training. I offer packages in training for every budget and security needs. Protection Training when done correctly has no effect on a dog’s personality, sociability, or attitude within the family environment. When done properly, no one other than you will have any idea that the protection training has been done. I do not believe in aggressive, snarling or nasty dogs or training. I also do not advocate the soul use of “sleeves” to do bite work. Bite work is done on a full body suit and is then the dog trained in muzzle and hidden equipment is used for final proofing, and the elimination of equipment fixation. It is my belief that a dog should be able to work on any part of the body not just the arms. This greatly limits the dogs ability to protect the owner. When was the last time a burglar or mugger presented a padded arm to a dog? These programs produce reliable and stable minded personal, property, and family home protection dogs.

All Protection course’s include problem solving and obedience. All course’s can be upgraded from any obedience course. All training methods are that of police, and military style and standard, developing a close bond between the handler and the dog. Any potential dogs (and people) entering into protection courses will have to be evaluated. Call, or email to set up an evaluation. Fee for evaluation is $150.00

Some Training Video's

Don't be alarmed by these photos. These are all highly trained Dogs, and also family house pets. When Protection training is done properly it does not effect the dogs ability to also be a good, safe family house dog. This training is not for everyone, or every dog for that matter, but it can be a lot of fun 🙂
