Level of Protection Training we offer our clients
Level 1 : Family Protection Pet/Dog
Family protection dogs are specially trained canine companions that excel in safeguarding their human families. These remarkable dogs undergo rigorous training to develop skills that go beyond traditional obedience. They are taught to detect and respond to potential threats, making them invaluable for enhancing the security of households. We specialized in assessing and discerning situations, family protection dogs are trained to remain calm yet vigilant, responding to commands that signal a threat or danger.
When considering a family protection dog, it’s essential to look for traits such as loyalty, adaptability to family life, and a balanced temperament. A well-trained family protection dog should seamlessly integrate into the household, forming strong bonds with family members while remaining steadfast in their protective instincts. Look for a reputable training program that emphasizes both obedience and protection training, ensuring your family protection dog is not only a devoted companion but also a reliable guardian for your loved ones.
Our dogs are raised with young children and with other pets so that they can fit in with any family scenario. Our primary rule in training protection dogs is first and foremost to have complete control – this creates the Perfect protection dog – our elite protection dogs are family pets primarily that can deter and if needs be taken on a threat
Level 2: Deterrent Protection Pet/Dog
A deterrent dog serves as a visible and audible deterrent to potential threats, intruders, or undesirable activities. Unlike a fully trained protection dog, a deterrent dog may not have advanced protective training but is effective in deterring individuals with its presence and vocalizations.
Key aspects of what a deterrent dog does include:
-
Visible Presence: Deterrent dogs often possess imposing physical appearances, with characteristics that naturally evoke a sense of caution. Their mere presence can act as a deterrent to individuals with malicious intent.
-
Vocalization: Deterrent dogs are trained or naturally inclined to vocalize in response to perceived threats or unusual activities. Barking, growling, or other audible signals serve as a warning to potential intruders, signaling the presence of a protective force.
-
Alertness: Our dogs are naturally alert and attentive to their surroundings. They quickly detect changes in the environment and respond to potential threats by displaying alert behaviour, which contributes to their deterrent effect.
-
Territorial Instincts: Deterrent dogs often exhibit strong territorial instincts. They may mark their territory through scent marking or other behaviors, reinforcing the notion that they are guarding a specific area.
-
Natural Instincts: Some breeds possess inherent protective instincts, making them well-suited for the role of a deterrent dog. Breeds with a history of guarding or protecting property may require minimal training to fulfill this role effectively.
While deterrent dogs may not undergo the same level of specialized training as fully trained protection dogs, they provide an effective first line of defence by discouraging potential threats. Their role is to create a visible and audible deterrent, alerting owners to the presence of strangers or unusual activities and potentially preventing unwanted incidents through their imposing demeanour and vocal warnings.
Level 3 : Full Family Protection Pet/Dog
At UniversalK9 Protection Dogs, our training philosophy is focused around ensuring that your canine companion remains closely connected to you in any situation.
