Big Dawgz BTI is a dog training business specializing in large and XL working breeds, with a particular focus on Rottweilers. The trainer, JP, serves as a Rottweiler ambassador and offers specialized sieger training for show dogs, on and off-leash obedience, puppy programs, and personal protection training. Training is conducted at a small, prioritized kennel facility where working and show dogs receive top precedence. The approach combines both positive and negative reinforcement, with all tools discussed during a mandatory assessment. Clients receive personalized training plans, and JP offers hands-on show handling upon request. Boarding is available with priority given to trained clients, and the facility includes spacious kennels for giant breeds. Additional services include dog imports from US and European breeders, with options for foundation, youth, and titled dogs.

JP has successfully transformed highly reactive and anxious dogs, including a Cane Corso previously deemed unmanageable, into well-behaved companions capable of interacting calmly in public settings. Training includes video updates, in-person coaching, and consistent communication throughout the process. Future offerings will expand into Schutzhund and PSA training.
