10 Key Elements To Ensure Success in Your Search of a Personal Protection Dog
“Details Make the Difference”
The education phase is one of the most important parts in your journey to owning a Personal Protection Dog. I want to walk with you through this phase and clearly and concisely give you information that enables you to make a wise choice in your selection.
I want to present an answer to your questions so you will know exactly what goes into the selection, purchase, training, and delivery of our dogs. No company will provide you with the confidence, reliability, and one-on-one service before and after the sale, like Vom Fieldcrest Shepherds. We have a great track record of selecting and placing the right dog in the right family. You can see some of our satisfied customers on our testimonial page on this site.
In order to be successful in your search for a Family Protection Dog there are Key Elements you must understand. This is because all Protection Dogs and companies that place Home Protection Dogs are not created equal. Most companies will not explain how their dogs are trained or what standard they adhere to. They are so vague. You are taking their word that the dog will protect you. That is not good enough. There has to be a better way.
Let me give you 10 Key Elements that will ensure your success on your quest to purchasing a Personal Protection Dog. This is something you will not find on other sites. These 10 Key Elements are defined in this website in depth in the section highlighted topically throughout this site.
- Your telephone conversation should be informative, in depth, comfortable, and friendly. You should leave the conversation feeling that the company truly cares about you and your family’s safety. In addition, you should question if the company sells dogs for military use, police, or private security. If they do, this could cause a conflict and limit the quality of dogs available for Home Protection Dogs
- The Selection and Testing Process for your Home Personal Protection Dog must be in place, first, from the European vendors, and second, from the company that is training your dog for Home Protection. The company you select must be able to ensure the temperament and stability of the dog you select, and have a verifiable track record of placement of Home Personal Protection Dogs.
- You should do an in-depth search on Google of the company’s name and owner to see if they have negative feed-back from any customers
- The company must be able to explain the definitive characteristics of a Personal Protection Dog, Family Protection Dog or Executive Protection Dog and how they were trained (refer to the 5 Critical Concepts listed on this site).
- The company must do many scenario-based training exercises to ensure that the Family Personal Protection Dog or Executive Protection Dogs are capable of full engagement in every stressful situation.
- The company must have a legitimate extended training service that is designed to provide necessary follow- up training for at least 3 years.
- There should be an extended health guarantee for hips and elbows up to the dogs 8th birthday to ensure the owners security is not compromised due to unforeseen health issues
- All dogs should be delivered to the customer’s residence and there should be a 3-4 day training program designed for the customer on how to handle their new dog. This is a mandatory requirement. Otherwise, how would a person know how to handle their dog?
- The company should not sell Schutzhund trained dogs, which are primarily just sport dogs, as Protection Dogs, unless the dogs training has included the “5 Critical Concepts” that define a Personal Protection Dog.
- Finally, all of the above should be contractual and spelled out on the website in order to be legitimate. If it’s not in writing, it never happened.
