Executive Protection Dogs
Our Personal Protection Dogs are trained to function at an extremely high level.
Top level business executives, pro athletes, government officials, and high profile personalities frequently acquire personal protection dogs.
Unfortunately, people working in high-powered positions or living in the public eye sometimes attract the wrong kind of attention.
A highly-trained protection dog will go a long way in deterring unwanted attention while proving an affectionate companion.
Personal Protection dogs - highly trained, highly-skilled bodyguards
At SHK, we train our dogs to be well socialized and adaptable to different environments: your dog will be obediently by your side at home or in unfamiliar environments like hotels and boardrooms; on airplanes or jogging trails – a loving companion always ready to defend you no matter what.
What makes a good personal protection dog?
We import our dogs from Europe where K9s have been successfully bred for decades. We believe German Shepherds, Dutch Shepherds and Belgian Malinois are the best breeds for this kind of work.
Dogs chosen for our executive protection program are selected for their stable character and good temperament, along with a strong protective instinct and excellent physical health.
We give you a 2 year Health Guarantee on your personal protection dog.
Handling a personal protection dog – we train you.
We train you, and anyone on your team, to properly handle your new bodyguard … you don’t need any previous experience.
Option 1: You train at our Florida facility
Our New Smyrna Beach location is convenient for many Florida neighborhoods—Windermere, Bushnell, Longwood, Lake Mary, and Daytona Beach.
Option 2: We come to you—anywhere in the USA.
Based on an intensive interview with you, we will select a personal protection dog suitable to your needs and circumstances—we always have at least 50 to choose from; deliver your dog in person; and arrange for one of our professional K9 trainers to train you…at your property…on your schedule.
You’ll be trained by the same people who work with Florida’s police K9 handlers—so you know you’re getting top-quality training.
Proper handling by you will ensure you get the best out of this most rewarding relationship. The only time a personal protection dog should show any aggression is when commanded to do so by you.
A well-trained dog will go into action at your command.
As much as you want protection, you don’t want friendly people around you feeling threatened, or worse, being hurt by an ill-trained dog.
Your dog must be obedient on and off lead – you must feel comfortable knowing your dog will only go into protective mode if anyone becomes aggressive towards you, and then keep the aggressors at bay in a six-foot circle of protection around you.
Our dogs protect high-profile personalities from all over the United States.
Celebrities, executives, and other high-profile individuals from all states are welcome at our dog training classes. However, we understand that coming to our Florida facility is not practical for everyone, so if you can’t come to us—we’ll come to you. We’ll even have a trainer travel with you if you’re on tour anywhere in the United States.
