Home & Family Protection

DogMastery protection dogs are stable, loving, tail-wagging individuals. Competitive by nature, these dogs don’t enjoy losing to anyone in a gripping match, with the exception of their owners. The relationship between handler and dog is bonded so closely that there is never a question in the animal’s mind when requested to execute a certain exercise to perform. Whether obedience, protection or simply maintaining distance on your trail excursions the rapport with your fully trained family member is reliable and not a liability.

When a protection dog bites an agitator it’s nothing personal or vicious; it is simply an exercise the owner has called for and that the dog will execute to the best of its ability. Upon completion of the task, the dog should return to the regular, fun-loving pet it generally behaves like. DogMastery has been at the forefront of protection training since 1991. We’ve always believed that your family members should possess the stable temperament to attend all of your family’s extracurricular activities and retain the ability and desire to rise to the occasion, if necessary, in any threatening situation. Of course, not all dogs are suitable for a program of this magnitude or intensity. It requires family members with exceptional nerve, pack drive, and character. We welcome those who are considering the program to speak with our many satisfied clients who have completed this course. DogMastery has always offered consultations and candid assessments of your dog’s overall ability. We want to ensure safety and comfort for owners who know that their pet can and will protect them when called for.
