At Dog Training Elite, we take a thorough and positive approach to training personal protection dogs. Our process ensures your dog is fully prepared for protection duties while maintaining a calm and obedient demeanor.
Here’s how we do it:
- Initial Assessment: We begin by evaluating your dog’s physical and mental readiness for protection work. Older, overweight, or anxious dogs may not be suited for these duties. If needed, we start with basic obedience training to ensure a solid foundation before moving forward.
- Specialized Training: Once your dog is deemed fit, we develop a personalized training plan tailored to your dog’s unique abilities and your specific needs. We utilize positive reinforcement techniques throughout the entire training process to build confidence and trust between you and your dog.
- Ongoing Support: We are always available for questions and provide ongoing training if needed. Our trainers are committed to helping you maintain your dog’s skills and providing support as your needs evolve.
