Personal protection dog senior trainer Alaster Bly was a police dog handler in the UK prior to establishing K9 Protector as the leading family protection dog supplier in Europe.
Alaster heads up this small but experienced team overseeing the training and development of protection dogs at K9protector.
"From our established breeding program we are able to cement breed characteristics that suit a dog to the role of a Family Protection Dog.
However it's always a 60/40 split between genetics and development from a young age. It's something that were very good at and combine that with real world training we produce the very best protection dogs"
Sadly there is no regulatory body or watchdog for the training and sale of protection dogs in the UK so I would encourage you to do your research as the potential purchase of a protection dog is a well considered one and one investment that should protect your family.
Protection dogs should be balanced individuals trained to exacting standards and most importantly the individual dog should be a perfect match for the client. The match between client and protection dog is an essential one. Each dog is different in terms of drive and personality let alone size and structure so there are a few things to consider when looking at a potential family protection dog for your family.
