A1K9 Family Protection Dog Deters Assailant

Our protection dogs are trained to deal with a potential threat in a measured way depending on the level and imminence of the danger.

A1K9 personal and family protection dogs are highly trained K9 companions and protectors that are social and impeccably mannered, well versed in obedience, yet able to provide physical security for their owners and family.

For a variety of reasons and living with the threats of the modern world, most of our clients wish to improve the security surrounding themselves and their families. While there are a variety of ways to do this, a trained A1K9 protection dog provides a subtle yet devastatingly effective solution and yet comes with all the benefits of owning a loving family pet. All of our protection dogs are friendly and completely safe as a family pet. They are trained to quickly act and intervene should the security of their family or home be threatened in any way. Their protection training lasts a lifetime and will kick in when needed, even if years have gone by and their skills have not been practised.

A1K9 protection dogs are trained to respond to a potential threat in a measure way depending on the level and imminence of the danger. They will in the first instance normally try to deter a potential assailant or security breach by a show of controlled aggression i.e. by barking and/or growling. In many cases this will suffice and eradicate the problem, however if the threat is not deterred by the warnings given by the dog or its owner, or even if the owner is in immediate risk of being assaulted, the dog will either with or without command, disable the threat by biting and holding the assailant; not releasing until commanded to do so.
