Level II Personal Protection Dogs
Level II Dogs are from 13 months to 36 months of age
Level II Personal Protection Dogs are well suited for a family situation, farm life, singles, and career people.
- Health and Guarantee: The Level II Personal Protection Dogs come with a full line of health and training guarantees that exceed the industry standard.
- Social skills: Level II Personal Protection Dogs will be highly socialized with other dogs, cats, and people. We expose the dog to as many social situations as possible to ensure good performance with no surprises.
- Temperament Testing: Level II Personal Protection Dogs are tested in a three-tier testing program to ensure sound temperament and solid nerves. They are tested in Europe prior to import, on arrival by me personally, and then by my competent staff.
- The testing includes but is not limited to:
- The dog’s ability to enter a pitch-dark building and have the door closed behind him. The dog should show no signs of avoidance
- The dog will be able to operate on slick floors and show no signs of avoidance
- The dog will negotiate stairs with agility and ease
- The dog will be able to climb an open staircase up to 4 stories tall and come down without going into avoidance
- The dog will be placed in a gunfire situation with progressing stages starting at 50 yards and coming closer. The dog should show no signs of being gun shy or become aggressive to the handler as the aggressor comes closer
- The dog will be able to perform obedience in heavy traffic to evaluate their focus and abilities to operate in stressful conditions
- Level II Personal Protection Dogs will also be tested for their ability to search for periods of time without loosing focus, or stopping and leaving the area.
- Obedience: Level II Personal Protection Dogs have very good on-leash and off-leash obedience when working with an aggressor. We proof all obedience events with the dogs before they are delivered to their new home.
- Protection: Level II Personal Protection Dogs will have very good bite mechanics that include full-mouth, hard, bite. The dog will be able to bite and negotiate a bite suit to make leg to arm, arm to underarm, and back to front transfers. These dogs will demonstrate control with a clear head when there is an engagement to the helper or aggressor. The dog will release the bite when the aggressor gives up or the fight ends on command. The dog will go into a bark-and-hold, which will keep the aggressor from acting out further. If a person would get aggressive again the dog would automatically engage the aggressor.
- In addition to the above training, several training skills are added in the Level II Personal Protection Dog.
- They are but not limited to:
- Protect against child abduction
- Multiple Aggressors
- Search Capability
- Limited Car Jacking
- Stopping power: Level II Personal Protection Dogs will be able to stop an intruder, multiple attackers, or child abductors, whether on the bite or by his presence when he is on guard.
- Scenario-based training: Level II Personal Protection Dogs must go through many different scenarios before we can be certain the dog will perform under new and different situations. This scenario-based training is, in part, conversations with the buyer and their expectations, and a foundational approach to this form of training.
- Protect against child abduction: We get as close to reality-based training as possible in this phase. We set up many scenarios where this type of situation might occur. We rely on the participation of the buyer for this training.
- Multiple aggressors: It is a fact that most crimes are committed by more than one person. The dog must be able to respond to more than one aggressor and defend against such attacks. The ability for the handler to control the dog becomes more important, so we build the control on the dogs for this type of situation.
- Search Capability: In farming communities where people are outside doing chores in multiple building configurations, the dog will go into the building and search for intruders. Likewise, the dog will enter the home, search the home thoroughly for signs of entry and alert the family accordingly. This would apply to back yards, garages, or other structures. When in doubt leave the premises or use your dog.
- Limited Car Jacking: Level II Personal Protection Dogs will have limited car-jacking experience in a reality-based training. The dogs will be able to make a bite in or out of the car. He will bite from the front or back seat and be able to engage from an open window. We do not spend a great deal time in this training, as we don’t want the dog to become territorial in the car. He is guarding and defending the individual not guarding the car. With too much car- jacking work, the dog can become aggressive to innocent passers-by and that is not what we want. The dog is a Personal Protection Dog not a guard dog.
