Testimonials
As a business owner with limited time to train a dog myself, I needed a protection dog that was not only expertly trained but also ready to integrate into family life from day one. Vanguard delivered exactly that with Nikita, a fully trained German Shepherd who exceeded every expectation.
She’s highly disciplined, confident, and incredibly responsive to commands. Whether at home or in public, her behavior is flawless. What impressed me most is how naturally she bonded with our family, protective when needed, but gentle and affectionate when spending time with us.
Vanguard’s training program is truly elite. Nikita gives us peace of mind and a real sense of security without sacrificing the warmth of a loving companion. Not only did Vanguard deliver a fantastic dog, but they are also there any time I have a question or concern. They truly care about their dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a better companion.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Vanguard K9. I purchased a personal protection dog from them, and he has completely changed my life. Not only is he highly trained and incredibly capable as a protector, but he’s also my best friend and constant companion.
Thanks to Vanguard K9, I now have the confidence to live my life to the fullest. Knowing that I have a loyal, intelligent, and well-trained bodyguard by my side gives me a sense of security I never had before. The team at Vanguard K9 was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. I can’t recommend them enough!

I got my executive protection dog “Zippy von Walshagen” from Vanguard Protection Dogs – Vit Singh. I am very impressed by the quality of Zippy and throughout my week of training with Vit at pick up, I was quickly able to learn how to handle a dog of this caliber under his guidance. I can say Zippy will definitely do her job without hesitation! However on the flip side, Zippy is a gentle and loving dog with my family and with kids. My biggest concern was integrating a “power dog” into my family but Vit made the transmission seamless and without stress. We love Zippy, and she would die for us. A wonderful addition to our family and well worth the investment. Thank you Vanguard.
