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.
