Personal Protection
Personal protection dogs provide peace of mind by offering reliable, trained security in real-life situations. Unlike alarm systems, they can assess threats and respond instantly under their handler’s command. They’re not just guardians—they’re loyal companions with purpose and control.
Personal Protection Training
At Absolute Control Dog Training, our personal protection training is built on a foundation of obedience—not aggression. We believe a truly reliable protection dog is one that is calm, confident, and under complete control at all times. Our goal is to develop dogs that protect with purpose, only when necessary, and always under the direction of their handler.
​
To begin this advanced level of training, dogs must first be fully obedience trained and possess the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification. In addition, dogs must be at least one year old and evaluated by our team to determine if they have the appropriate temperament, drive, and stability for this kind of work.
​
While not every dog is suited for personal protection, our evaluation process ensures that only those best matched for the task move forward. This maintains the safety and success of both the dog and the handler. If you're interested in exploring whether your dog is a good fit, contact us to schedule an evaluation.
