Our Personal Protection Dogs - The Facts
Our dogs are highly skilled at dealing modern day threats and protect using knowledge gained from the intensive training that they receive whilst at our dog training facility.
Personal protection dogs that have been properly trained are outwardly friendly until faced with a potential threat, at which point the dog will then bark at the would be assailant to attempt to drive them away. Should the threat persist, the dog will upon command from the handler respond by biting and holding the aggressor's right arm and will continue to hold until it is commanded to release.

The dog is taught to back off a threatening
person. |
Keeping them at bay with a show of aggression. | Ultimately the dog is taught to bite and hold when the handler gives the correct command or when the threat becomes intense. | If the dog
was commanded to do so it would allow the neutralised aggressor
to pet it, such is the control |
Once the aggressor has been neutralised or the immediate threat has been removed, the dog will return to being friendly and would if given the appropriate command even allow the aggressor to pet it. It is important to remember that our dogs are trained to give a controlled aggressive response either automatically when the handler is under immediate risk of attack, the owners property is being invaded, or when the handler puts the dog on alert. The dogs that we train remain sociable at all other times. - Amazing but true, this is why A1K9 Personal Protection dogs are the best

Over the last 3 0r 4 years we have been supplying more and more of our trained K9's to customers across Europe, many, to Southern Spain, Mallorca and the South of France as these areas are unfortunately becoming the target of more crime. Part of our customer service when supplying dogs to families not based within the UK can often be to send the dog and our trainers to their location to deliver and provide handover and refresher training on site. We have many customers with yachts and part of the handover can be acclimatising your new dog to life aboard so as he is able to accompany you when out on the boat.
There is obviously an additional cost involved for this service but for customers who do not have the time in their schedules to visit the UK for training, or for those where specialised training and environment conditioning has to take place on site, this is a service that we are able and pleased to offer.

An A1K9 personal protection dog is a highly obedient dog, a trusted friend and loyal companion.
