Precision K9 Work

Almost everyone has a different view about what protection dog training is. It may even be referred to as guard dog training by some. One of the first things to understand is not every dog is capable of doing such work. Protective breeds (German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Doberman and Belgian malinois, to name a few) can make good candidates, however not all will possess good genetics for protection training. This is why we evaluate each dog before starting to work with them. Another misconception about protection training is that it will make a mean and aggressive dog. If you have to make a dog mean or aggressive to be protective then it is clearly not the right dog for protection training. There are also different types of protection training. Sports like IPO(schutzhund), PSA, and Mondioring are a great way to do protection work with your dog and also compete. Personal protection however is much different and requires a different temperament then most sport dogs have. Regardless of which discipline you choose Precision K9 Work can help you. If you are interested in doing protection training with your dog or have any questions please contact us.
