Protection Dog Training

Service Description

Understand the critical differences between civil protection and sport protection dog training. Civil protection dogs are trained for real-world threats, focusing on true defense and the intent to neutralize danger. In contrast, sport protection dogs are conditioned to perform controlled bites in competitive settings, often targeting padded equipment in a game-like environment. While both are highly skilled, the civil dog is taught to bite with intent to stop a real threat, whereas sport dogs bite with drive but under strict control and without real-world aggression. Civil protection training prepares dogs for real-world scenarios where personal or family safety is at stake. These dogs are trained to recognize genuine threats and respond with controlled but decisive action. Their intention to bite comes from a protective instinct—to neutralize a real danger and defend their handler. In contrast, sport protection training (such as IGP or PSA) is structured around controlled environments, rules, and competitions. These dogs perform precise, high-drive bites on padded decoys, but their intent is rooted in play and drive, not true aggression or defense. Whether you're looking for a companion that can protect your home or a competitor for the sport field, our training programs are tailored to your goals—with safety, obedience, and control always at the core.
