Frequently asked questions
The questions that come up in almost every conversation, answered before you need to ask.
What is not here is what depends on your situation, and that part has no generic answer worth giving.
Do you supply a handler along with the dog?
No. We supply the dog, and only the dog.
The dog is trained to respond to the people it lives with, and handing that relationship over to a rotating handler undoes what the training built. A dog that obeys anyone in uniform is not a family guardian — it is shared equipment, and that is a different product.
If what you need is a manned post with a handler, the right supplier is a security company, not a kennel.
What is a trained protection dog, and what is it not?
A trained protection dog is a dog that distinguishes. It lives with the routine of a household — deliveries, visitors, children running, street noise — without reacting to any of it, and reacts to what falls outside the pattern.
What rises with each level of training is control, not intensity. The most trained dog is not the most reactive one; it is the one that gets it wrong least often.
What it is not: a fierce dog. A dog that threatens everyone protects no one — it simply moves the risk from outside the house to inside it.
How does the dog behave around children and daily household life?
Neutrality is the first thing built and the only one tested again at every level. What is checked, in real settings and not on a training field: children running, visitors arriving, a courier at the gate, construction noise, another dog passing. The failing criterion is not that the dog reacts too little — it is that it reacts to what is not a threat.
That said, no kennel anywhere guarantees an animal's behaviour, and whoever guarantees it is either lying or has not read the law. What exists is a dog whose neutrality has been verified in named situations, handed to a family trained to handle it, with maintenance agreed.
A protection dog does not replace adult supervision of a small child. It never has, with any breed.
How long does it take to train a dog?
We do not give a timeline, and the reason is honest: a timeline becomes a delivery date someone will hold you to, and dogs do not obey calendars.
Each level closes on an observable criterion. The first closes when the dog performs the exercises of the regulation on a public street, under real distraction, without the handler repeating a command. The last closes when cessation is reliable mid-impulse.
A dog that gets there sooner and one that takes twice as long receive the same mark — which is why the mark means something.
Does the dog adapt to a family it has never met?
Yes, and not by accident: the transfer is part of the training, not a step that follows it.
The dog is introduced to the property, to the routine and to each person who lives there, with the trainer present. Whoever will handle it day to day trains alongside, because the repertoire belongs to the pair and not to the animal alone — a dog that answers the trainer and not the owner has not been handed over, it has been lent.
What we do not do is promise that adaptation is immediate. It depends on the household, the routine and how much the family engages, and all three vary.
What happens at handover?
The dog is delivered to the client's home. There is no collection from a kennel: the place where the dog will live is part of the handover, and it is there that it has to work.
The pedigree and the vaccination record go with it.
How does a conversation start?
Through the form. Three short steps: what you are looking for, where the dog would live, and how to reach you.
It exists so the first conversation can start already knowing what it is about. It is not a sign-up, and filling it in puts no one on a list.
