“If you are looking for a balanced protection dog, look no further than Valor Protection Dogs. I have known Owner/Head Trainer Amy for six years, and have found her to be an exceptional trainer. Amy understands dogs and dog behavior like no one else I know. With training from Amy, one could expect a dog from Valor to not only effectively protect the home and family, but also be able to be fully integrated into family life as well…The dog would be able to shift from protection dog to family pet with ease.”
