Protection Dogs Plus LLC is a professional dog training business specializing in high-level personal protection dog training for families, executives, and individuals seeking safety. With over 22 years of hands-on experience, they train Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds to be both fiercely protective and completely family-friendly, integrating seamlessly into daily life. Their dogs are trained to obey commands off-leash, respond to threats with precision, and remain gentle around children and pets. They offer customized training programs including obedience, family protection, and specialized security for clients in high-risk environments. Training is conducted in their home environment with their own children present to ensure real-life compatibility. They also provide delivery and owner-handling instruction to ensure families can confidently manage their protection dogs. Their unique matching process includes temperament testing, a detailed family questionnaire, and in-person training for all household members during delivery.

In addition to selling fully trained protection dogs, they offer evaluation and training services for dogs already owned by clients who meet their qualifications. Their programs range from basic obedience to advanced protection, with pricing starting at $55,000 for Guardian-level dogs and $75,000 for Guardian Plus. They emphasize functional protection training—dogs respond to hidden threats, not just sleeves—and include advanced skills like perimeter security, multiple attacker response, and child protection commands. They also offer optional tricks like fetch a beer or weave between legs. Their sister company, First Choice Canine, provides behavior modification and rehabilitation for non-protection dogs.

All training is delivered with a focus on peace of mind, obedience, and companionship, and clients receive written warranties and ongoing support after delivery.

Accomplishments

Over 22 years of experience training personal protection dogs. Trained dogs are featured in client testimonials and videos showing real-life obedience and protection scenarios. Dogs are selected and trained in a home environment with children present, ensuring family compatibility. Their dogs are praised for exceptional obedience, integration into family life, and functional protection skills beyond traditional guard dog training.

How to Get Started!

Prospective clients begin by contacting Protection Dogs Plus to discuss their needs. They complete a family questionnaire to customize training. Dogs are selected based on temperament testing and matching to the family’s lifestyle. A delivery appointment is scheduled, during which the family receives hands-on training with the dog and learns all commands. Clients may also request an evaluation if they already own a protection-capable dog.
