Family Protection Dog
A family protection dog is a dog trained and sourced to help keep a household safe while remaining a trusted companion and member of the family.
- Purpose: Performs protective duties to deter threats and, if needed, respond to potential dangers, while prioritizing the safety and well-being of family members.
- Temperament: Typically has a stable, confident, and controllable demeanor around familiar people and children. They are social with the family and tolerant of everyday household life.
- Training: Combines basic obedience, impulse control, and specialized protection work (such as alarm barking, controlled guarding, and safe, structured response to perceived threats). Training includes work with our professional trainers experienced in family protection dogs and may involve protection in a controlled, ethical context.
- Selection: Involves choosing a breed or individual dog whose temperament and energy level align with the family’s lifestyle, living situation, and experience with dogs.
