Protection Dogs New York Build a Pup
Discover the Premier Puppy Training Program for Protection Dogs in NY
Our training initiative kick-starts the development journey of future protection dogs, raising them from birth. Once they reach the age of 8 weeks, we carefully identify those puppies that demonstrate promising qualities for more intensive obedience training, placing them on the path to becoming elite NY protection and police dogs.
Every puppy chosen for our program undergoes a thorough and detailed assessment to ensure that its unique temperament is a good fit for its training program. It’s important to understand that not all puppies will advance at the same pace or reach the same level of training, which is why we work with them individually. We are committed to finding the perfect match for your specific needs.
A puppy is selected from one of our available pups or reserved from an upcoming litter. We will assist you in making the selection as not all pups are born equal. Depending on your personal needs, the necessary genetic temperament of your puppy may vary. As such, we will ensure you end up selecting a pup that best fits your personal needs and desires.
Once you have selected your puppy, you purchase the pup and he or she remains here for the next stage of training and development.
Each level of training takes a certain amount of time. Our training is billed on a per month basis, however bigger packages receive a certain discount on our per month charge.
Our Protection Dogs New York Graded Program
LEVEL I
Length of Program : 4 weeks
Cost : $2,800 USD
In Level 1, our puppies begin an advanced socialization and behavior assessment process. As experienced protection dog trainers, we can predict the likely future temperament of each puppy. This enables us to choose the most suitable home environment for them, ensuring a perfect match between the puppy’s unique characteristics and the needs of their future handler or family.
Crate training is prioritized during this critical stage, establishing the groundwork for successful house training, preventing separation anxiety, and ensuring safe transportation. Our approach to basic obedience focuses on the use of positive reinforcement, teaching the dogs that following commands is not only rewarding but also fun.
For the select puppies identified for our elite protection dog program, we begin their training path with a gentle introduction to foundational bite work. This methodical approach is aimed at developing their innate abilities, directing these traits to meet the stringent requirements expected of them in personal and executive protection roles. This early exposure ensures that they grow with a clear understanding of their protective duties, making them reliable companions for security professionals.
Our firm commitment to quality guarantees that each puppy not only fulfills but surpasses the most rigorous criteria for performance, bravery, and loyalty, perfectly balancing the roles of both companion and protector.
LEVEL II
Length of Program: 8 weeks
Cost: $5,600 USD
This phase of our NY protection dog training program builds upon the foundational skills introduced in Level I, raising the focus toward achieving more reliable obedience from our dogs. While continuing to use reward-based training methods, we introduce our puppies to the important concept of the obligation to obedience. During this key development stage, we concentrate on enhancing essential skills such as calmly walking on a leash, sitting, lying down, staying in place, and responding promptly when called. Furthermore, we give special attention to the refinement of manners and the encouragement of positive interactions with others, ensuring our dogs exhibit exemplary behavior in various social settings.
In this phase, our New York protection dog candidates make significant strides in bite work and start their training with light agitation exercises. This approach guarantees that you receive not only a well-mannered companion but also a steadfast protector ready to stand beside you. Our commitment to excellence drives us to bring out the best in these future protection dogs, ensuring they are not merely physically adept but also mentally resilient, ready to face any challenge when serving as your protector and in every aspect of your life and work.
LEVEL III
Length of Program : 14 weeks
Cost : $8,500 USD
This program includes all components described in Levels I and II.
At this stage in their growth, our puppies start demonstrating the abilities, skills, and precision that you might see in our videos of older protection dogs. We can now expect consistent obedience from them, even in the face of distractions. To prove their obedience, puppies are introduced to public environments such as urban settings and retail outlets.
Puppies enrolled in Level III of our training program excel in off-leash command performance. By the completion of this stage, they exhibit obedience levels that surpass those of the majority of adult dogs encountered. Our training ensures they are skilled at ignoring distractions, swiftly responding to commands, and participating in positive social interactions.
