Man-K9 Protection Dog Training Levels

Each level of training provides your protection dog with a unique collection of skills and talents suited to a distinct set of security needs.

Our flexible system allows you to pick the level of safety that best fits your needs and preferences. We think that your protection dog should be a well-rounded member of the family and a pleasant addition to your daily life.

Man-k9 Offers Four Levels of Protection-trained Dogs
to Meet the Unique Security Needs of Every Family:

Home Protection Dogs

These canines are great for both protection and company. They are well-equipped to protect your loved ones from harm and deter unwanted visitors while also fitting right in with your family.

Family Protection Dogs

These dogs are fiercely loyal to their families and will fight to the death to protect them from any threat. They are the first line of defense against any dangers to your loved ones, and they are available around the clock.

Personal Protection Dogs

These canines make wonderful pets and family members. They're warm and fuzzy at home, but when they need to be, they turn into fierce protectors. They are watchful, alert, and fearless in the face of danger, whether at home or out and about.

Elite K9 Dogs

The top-tier K9 is the most powerful and assured option. These dogs have such incredible self-assurance and bravery that they are invincible in defense. Their calm demeanor and self-assurance are bred into them so they can provide the best possible protection for your loved ones.

Protection Dog Training for Home Security

Having a trained protection dog at your side is an excellent way to ensure the safety of your house and loved ones. Our protection dogs are not only well-behaved, but also quick on their feet, sure of themselves, and responsive when it matters most because of our emphasis on scenario-based training.

We believe that a security dog needs to be more than just a well-mannered companion; they need to be a trustworthy guardian who can deal with actual threats in the real world. In order to accomplish this goal, we have carefully designed our training regimens to mimic and prepare for a wide range of scenarios that could constitute a security risk.

Our security canines are trained to be more than just obedient by simulating and responding to a wide variety of real-world scenarios. With this level of preparation, our canine friends are more than simply pets; they are reliable protectors who are always on the lookout for threats to your safety.

Dog Trainers with Real Experience

Our staff is comprised of professionals who have spent a combined 77 years perfecting the art of training protection K9s. Because of our vast history, we are able to surpass the standards of our rivals. While some may boast experienced handlers, there is a vast gulf between simply knowing how to handle a dog and knowing how to train it effectively.

The trainers at Man-K9 all have extensive experience dealing with protection dogs setting them apart from the handlers at other training facilities. We go deeply into the complex process of training a dog for protection, going much beyond simple handling.

They are well-versed in all aspects of dog psychology, including the unique traits of various breeds and the nuanced nature of actual protective situations. By combining theoretical understanding with practical application, we produce dogs that are not only obedient but also capable of making split-second judgements under stress.

Protection Dog Temperament Testing For Success

Starting with a detailed temperament evaluation, the test is an essential part of our procedure. Your dog’s natural abilities and instincts as a protector can then be evaluated thoroughly. Several crucial aspects are considered during this assessment.

The temperament test as the first step towards molding your dog into a reliable protector. It is a comprehensive evaluation of your dog’s potential in the field of protective work.

Protection Dog Private Training

Dogs that have completed our extensive temperament test are eligible for personalized classes. We provide a custom training program of 10 individualized protection lessons specific for your dog. The foundation of our private sessions is the individual focus we give each student. Each canine has its own set of advantages and weaknesses, and we recognize that. The 10 class program is $6000.00.

Customized Training for Optimal Results

Private classes with us are more than simply about teaching obedience; they’re an adventure in which your dog can learn and develop. The steps are as follows:

Initial Evaluation

The first step in the training process is an evaluation of your dog's personality, behavior, and current abilities conducted by the training supervisor. This evaluation is a vital first step since it sheds light on your dog's character, aptitudes, and problem areas.

Tailored Training Plan

After doing the assessment, a unique training programme is designed. This strategy has been carefully developed to meet the requirements and goals of your dog. The training programme is made to help your dog reach their maximum potential, whether that's through improved obedience, strengthened protective abilities, or targeted instruction.

One-on-One Guidance

Your dog will receive personalized attention from our training supervisor during each of his or her private lessons. Your dog will benefit greatly from this individualized method because they will receive your full attention and instruction during the entire session.

Skill Enhancement

Your dog's existing abilities will be honed and new ones will be learned during the private classes. Our director of training will work closely with your dog to improve their talents in a variety of areas, from basic obedience to sophisticated protection.

Progress Assessment

Your dog's growth is monitored through periodic evaluations. In this way, we can make sure that your dog keeps making progress towards being a reliable protection dog by adjusting the training regimen as needed.

Building Confidence

Private classes with us aren't only about teaching your dog the basics, like sit and stay. A secure protection dog is better able to conduct their job and deal with real-world threats with an emphasis on training in realistic scenarios.
