Canine Protection International

CPI does not offer training programs for client-owned dogs. Instead, they breed, raise, and fully train adult protection dogs over multiple years in controlled environments. Dogs are selected from European lines raised in family homes, undergo initial training in Slovakia, and complete final training in Dallas, TX, living in trainer households. Training focuses on obedience, protection commands, socialization with children and guests, and real-world adaptability. Each dog is delivered with a transition plan and lifelong support, including annual tune-ups.

Pricing Summary

Prices are not publicly listed; dogs are sold as fully trained adults with custom pricing based on breed, training level, and placement. A comprehensive health and performance guarantee is included. Payment is required at time of purchase, and no financing options are mentioned.

Policies

CPI offers a comprehensive health and performance guarantee for their dogs. They provide lifelong follow-up and annual tune-ups at no additional cost. Dogs are not sold unless the client is fully confident in handling them. No cancellation policy is stated for purchases, but they do not pressure clients into buying and prioritize matching over sales.

Canine Protection International (CPI) is a specialized dog training business that provides fully trained Elite Family & Estate Protection Dogs for families seeking both security and companionship. With over 30 years of experience, CPI sources dogs from a European procurement and training facility in Slovakia, where puppies are raised in family environments with children. Final training occurs at their 10-acre compound in Dallas, TX, where dogs live in trainer homes and are immersed in real-life family scenarios. Their dogs are trained to be calm around children, obedient off-leash, respectful of home boundaries, and responsive to protection commands only when needed. CPI emphasizes temperament selection, real-world integration, and lifelong support, offering annual tune-ups and personalized delivery. They do not train dogs for clients but sell fully trained adult protection dogs, primarily German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois, with a focus on safety, reliability, and seamless family integration.

CPI distinguishes itself by limiting placements to 24 dogs annually to ensure individualized training and by rejecting marketing terms like “elite” as overused industry jargon. They provide comprehensive health and performance guarantees and prioritize matching the right dog to the family’s lifestyle over making a sale. Their training avoids high-risk behaviors like independent home searches, focusing instead on controlled, command-driven protection that remains safe around loved ones.

CPI also sells raw dog food and offers personal delivery nationwide and internationally, with follow-up support throughout the dog’s life.

Accomplishments

Over 30 years of operation, with thousands of dogs placed. CPI coined the term “Elite Family & Estate Protection Dogs” and is recognized for its rigorous, home-based training model. They maintain a 24-dog annual placement limit to ensure quality. Their dogs are used by families across the U.S. and internationally, with documented cases of protection in real-life scenarios.
