Our Programs

Choose Your Path

Every family that calls wants the same two things: a dog that is genuinely capable, and a dog that is genuinely safe to live with. Where families differ is how they want to get there. Some want a dog that is already finished and ready to step into the home. Others want to be part of the work from the first day.

The path you choose changes the timeline, how involved your family is in the training, and how much of the dog’s development you see firsthand. It does not change the standard the dog has to meet before we place it.

Fully Trained Protection Dogs

A dog that arrives ready, with obedience, temperament testing, and protection work already complete, matched to your family before delivery day.

Build Your Own Pup

A hands-on, guided path from puppy selection to a fully developed protection dog, raised by your family, shaped by our involvement every step of the way.

Side by Side

Which One Fits

These are not tiers. Neither one is the upgrade, and the finished dog is not the serious option while the puppy is the budget one. They are two different jobs, and the question is which of those two your household is actually in a position to take on.

Fully Trained — What You Take On

The dog is finished before you meet it. What you take on is a trained dog, not a training project.

What it includes: Everything in the standard below, complete before the dog is offered to you: obedience on and off leash, protection work with a clear off-switch, and temperament testing against a household like yours. Delivery and the in-home handover are part of the placement, not an add-on.
How long it takes: Set by the dog, not by a calendar. The training is already done, so the only thing you are waiting on is the right dog. If we have that dog now, this moves quickly. If we do not, you wait — we match you to the dog that fits, not to the next one available.
Who it suits: Households that need a capable dog now rather than after a puppy grows up. Handlers who will maintain a trained dog but have no appetite for building one. Families whose schedule is already full of work, children, and travel.
Who it does not suit: Anyone who wants to raise the dog themselves — you would be paying to skip the part you actually want. And anyone expecting a finished dog to stay finished on its own. The protection work is handler-initiated and handler-maintained; if nobody in the house intends to keep it up, say so on the first call and we will tell you to pass.

Build Your Own Pup — What You Take On

You raise the dog. We choose it, we evaluate it before it comes home, and we stay in the work the whole way through.

What it includes: We select the puppy against your household, your experience, and your breed preference, then evaluate it in our own hands before it ever comes home to you. After that: guided socialization and foundational manners, structured on- and off-leash obedience, and protection development introduced when the dog is ready for it.
How long it takes: Measured in the dog’s development rather than in weeks. Protection work is introduced at the stage the dog is ready for and is never rushed to a schedule, so we will not quote you a finish date. It takes more time than buying a finished dog.
Who it suits: Families who want to be part of the process from the very beginning, and who have the routine and the patience for daily work. People who will take direction and apply it between our visits. Anyone who wants the bond that only comes from raising the dog.
Who it does not suit: Anyone with a security concern that is live right now. A puppy protects nobody, and we are not going to pretend otherwise to make a sale. It is also not a hands-off puppy sale: if what you want is a well-bred puppy dropped off and then left to you, this is the wrong program.

We have not published figures for either program, and we are not going to put a number on a page before we know which dog we are talking about. Ask on a call and you will get a straight answer. What a protection dog costs across this market is a separate page — sourced figures from other companies and from reporting, so you can see the shape of it before we ever speak. If what you actually want is the purchase laid out end to end, what buying a protection dog from us involves covers what the money does and does not cover, the four steps in order, and how to check any seller before money moves.

Before You Call

Who We Turn Away

A protection dog is a working dog before it is anything else. It needs structure, exercise, and someone in the house who keeps the training alive — every week, not only the week it arrives. If that sounds like more dog than you were picturing, that is worth knowing now rather than a month after delivery.

We would rather tell you a dog is not the right fit than place one that does not belong in your home. Sometimes that means pointing you at the other program. Sometimes it means telling you the honest answer is a well-bred family dog and a good alarm system. We are not the right fit for every household, and we are not going to sell as though we were.

None of that stops at delivery, which is why we have written down what the routine a new dog needs in its first three months actually involves: three days of decompression, the month before the dog starts testing whether your rules are real, and the ten minutes a day that keep a finished dog finished.

Every Placement

The Standard Behind Both

The program you choose changes how a dog gets there, not what it has to be when it arrives. Either way, a placement includes:

Advanced on- and off-leash obedience
Handler-initiated deterrence and protection, with a clear off-switch
Temperament and household compatibility testing
Personal delivery and in-home family training

A brindle Dutch Shepherd sits pressed against its handler’s leg on a training field, looking up at him — Attention first. The dog is watching the handler’s face, not the field around it.

What that standard looks like when nothing dramatic is happening is on film — twenty unedited seconds of a dog holding a down-stay on a downtown street, alongside both of us explaining what we select for and why every dog lives in one of our own homes before it is offered to anyone.

How a Placement Runs

First Call
to Aftercare

Every other page here says “we” for all of this, and that is accurate: we are two owners who both work the dogs, not a company with departments. The one step we will put names to is the evaluation — both of us are decoys, and both of us put hands on a dog before it is offered to a family.

Private Consultation

A private conversation about your family, lifestyle, and goals to determine whether we’re the right fit for each other. Some of these calls end with us telling you not to buy a dog at all. That is a normal outcome here, not a failed one.

Evaluation & Matching

Every dog is personally evaluated by us before it is offered to anyone — temperament first, then nerve, clarity, and how the dog thinks under pressure. We recommend the dog best suited to your family and experience, not simply the next available dog.

Personal Delivery

We bring the dog to you ourselves, wherever you are. Nobody meets us in a parking lot to take delivery of a protection dog.

In-Home Handover

We stay and work the dog in your house, with your family: who gives which command, what the dog is allowed to do, what it is not, and how the off-switch works. A dog that only listens to us is not a finished placement.

Lifetime Support

Ongoing guidance, refresher training, and support remain available throughout your dog’s life. You reach us directly when something comes up — we do not disappear after a sale.

Start a Conversation

Tell us about your household and what you need the dog to do. We will tell you honestly which program makes sense — and whether we are the right fit at all. We deliver nationwide, and we have written up what owning one of these dogs is actually like in Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio, because the climate and the property change the answer more than the city does.
