Protection dogs are valuable companions and deterrents against home invasions, but certain training approaches may not be functional, and could open you up to liability. Having your protection dog trained to independently search your home for intruders is a request we often get from clients, and is one we can certainly train and deliver, but we often don't recommend this choice as it presents several serious concerns that owners should carefully consider.

In today’s world, the need for personal protection is more real than ever. We’d like to share a recent experience that illustrates just how much peace of mind an elite family protection dog can provide.

When considering a personal protection dog, one of the most critical factors is the dog’s level of control and responsiveness. At CPI, we believe in training protection dogs to respond easily off-leash, in obedience, and on protection. Functionality is what we train for, and in most cases, having your dog on a leash when having your dog perform protection is simply not functional. Off-leash training is more than a convenience; it’s an important skill that will keep you safe and improves the bond between dog and handler.

In recent months, a troubling trend has emerged: the homes of high-profile athletes, including NFL stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, have been targeted by organized crime rings. These sophisticated groups exploit public records and social media to identify when athletes are away, often during games, to execute burglaries.

For those who lead an active lifestyle, finding a security solution that offers both protection and companionship is crucial. At Canine Protection Dogs (CPI), we understand that our clients are not just looking for a security measure but a partner that can keep up with their dynamic, everyday activities. That’s why our personal protection dogs for sale, including German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois, are specifically trained to provide safety while seamlessly integrating into the active lifestyles of our clients.
