Guard Dog versus Protection K9

Many property owners are interested in guard dogs. However, there is a big difference between a guard dog and a trained protection dog. A typical guard dog is not trained to guard property. It works based on natural territorial instincts, barking and possibly biting an intruder out of fear. Guard dogs do not undergo extensive obedience and bite training. They may be effective in guarding a smaller territory but are unlikely to engage an intruder further away from the house or their kennel.

How K9 Technology protection dog can be activated

In most cases, K9 Technology trains our protection dogs to attack an attacker on command. The owner must give a command, such as “attack” or “bite,” and point to the person they want the dog to attack. We also train the dogs to hold and bark for cases when the owner wants the dog to be on alert and just threaten the threatening person.

The dog will run to the person and bark. If the subject attempts to attack the dog or runs towards the owner, the dog will bite automatically. This is the safest way to control a personal protection K9 dog, as we do not want to take the chance and have the dog make the decision about what is a threat and what is not.

The only time the dog may act on its own is when it is alone inside the owner’s dwelling and the owner is not around. If an intruder enters such a dwelling, the dog is trained to respond by attacking the stranger.

In some extreme cases, we train the dog to respond to a violent attack on its owner on its own. We offer this training option to owners who are afraid of high threats.

How protection K9 dogs are housed

Typically, our personal protection dogs live in the house. They are highly trained dogs and are safer around the family and children. However, in some situations, such as when the owner has allergies or prefers not to have dogs in the house, our protection dogs can also be kept in special climate-controlled kennels outside the main house.

Why K9 Technology personal protection K9s are safe for the family

This is a very reasonable question, as all personal protection dogs are trained to protect you and your family. Essentially, you need them to be your weapon against a threat. However, there is always a tradeoff when using any weapon, and this is no different for personal protection dogs.

One of our main goals is to select and train dogs that will be safe for our customers. We carefully choose each dog’s character and training to fit our customers’ needs and lifestyles. For example, if you have young children at home, we will do our best to select a dog that is very tolerant of little children.

These dogs are expensive and take a long time to train because they are asked to meet many conflicting requirements. At the same time, we cannot guarantee that our dogs are 100% safe, as there is always a risk. Dogs can misunderstand certain situations and react in unexpected ways.

We also take great care in teaching our customers how to handle these dogs. This is important for several reasons: our customers must know how to control these amazing dogs, understand dog behavior to avoid unintended actions, and be assured that our dogs are well taken care of.
