Child-safe Family Protection Dogs
Personal Protection Dogs – for protection and companionship.
What could be better than a dog that lovingly and safely interacts with your children, and yet is willing to protect your family no matter what?
Your Personal Protection Dog – a new member of the family
Your protection dog should be part of the family at all times. A well-trained socialized dog will be comfortable in any public situation: travelling with mom and the kids to the store, or on the school run or after-school activities.
Wouldn’t you feel more secure when you come home, knowing your dog will alert you if any intruders are inside waiting for you? Or that if things get out of hand when a visitor comes to your home, your personal protection dog is quietly at your side, ready to protect the family on your command.
The right dog for your family.
Getting a personal protection dog is one of the most important decisions your family will make, that’s why we encourage the whole family to get involved right from the beginning. We like to get to know you all, find out everyone’s expectations and needs for a dog of this caliber. That way we can best choose a dog that will make the right fit – and don’t worry, we always have at least 50 to choose from!
What makes a good personal protection dog?
At SHK, we import our dogs from Europe where K9s have been successfully bred for decades. Dogs chosen for our personal protection program are carefully 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, too!
Once the right dog is found, we train you to properly handle your new member of the family … and the good news is, you don’t need any previous experience.
Option 1: You train at our Florida facility
Out-of-state families can turn dog training into a mini-vacation. Our close proximity to many popular Florida attractions makes it hard to resist tagging on a little vacation time—have some fun at Walt Disney World in Orlando, or Kennedy Space Center.
And our New Smyrna Beach location is convenient for many Florida neighborhoods too—we are now signing up families in Windermere, Bushnell, Longwood, Lake Mary, and Daytona Beach.
Option 2: We come to you—anywhere in the USA.
We’ll select a great protection dog—we always have at least 50 to choose from—based on your individual preferences; 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 train Florida’s top police K9 handlers—so you know you’re getting the best.
Proper handling by you will ensure you get the best out of this most rewarding relationship. Although there are specific exceptions to the rule, your family’s personal protection dog will not react or show any aggression unless commanded to do so by you.
A well-trained dog will go into action at your command.
Needless to say it’s vital your personal protection dog is well-schooled and obedient. 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 – out on a walk, for example, 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 your family.
Our dogs protect families from all over the United States.
Families and 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. And we’ll fit in with your family’s schedule.
