Advanced Training For German Shepherd Dogs

California pioneer in advanced dog training techniques announces a unique Dog training system using a combination of communication, direction and correction training. 

CC Protection Dogs, a dog training center operating out of California has announced the development of a unique canine training system using an unique approach that incorporates communication, direction and correction training. The aim is to help dog owners build a more positive relationship with their canine companions. 

According to CCPD, a dog’s world (and the behavior within it) is not complicated but it definitely is intricate. To understand and communicate with dogs, dog owners need training in canine communication and body language. Dogs have a universal language that’s both subtle and wide-ranging. Real canine language is not just verbal. It’s, in reality, a rich visual language. 

An extension of the above, the well being of a dog and the quality of life of its owner is contingent upon building a relationship based on mutual trust and respect. An important part of building such a relationship is teaching a dog how to walk on a loose leash at all times. Because this is hard to adequately teach in an obedience class situation, teaching dogs how to stop, abruptly change direction or back up on a loose leash has been a guarded secret among dog trainers for a very long time. 

Another important aspect of both basic and behavioral canine training is the theory of corrections in dog training. It rests upon a core understanding that correction training in canines is not to punish a dog for inappropriate behavior. Instead it serves the purpose changing or “correcting” a behavioral trait in a dog for a more positive rapport between the dog and its owner. 

And these are the three pillars of the new advanced canine training system developed by CCPD. Encouraging a natural approach to help dog owners and their canine companions work together at a comfortable pace, CCPD is committed to providing a high quality dog consultation service and a variety of different training options to help bridge the gap between dog owners and their pet.

Protection Dogs and DNA Testing

Why DNA Testing?

Owners of personal protection dogs may be proud of the breed of their dog; however, in many cases they do not know exactly what breed it is. Knowing the breed of your dog is very useful in the long run. If you are not completely certain what breed your dog is, try DNA testing. It is easy and the process does not take too long.

What is DNA Testing?

As mentioned above, DNA testing is important. For a dog’s DNA test,

• A small tissue/saliva sample is taken – this will contain blood or skin cells 

• Genetic profile is run – this will determine the DNA of your dog

• Comparison with other profiles of known dog breeds – this will ascertain       which breed your dog belongs to.

It is a simple process and obtaining the sample from your dog is very easy while at home. Once you send it off to a lab, you just have to await the results. Even simpler is doing the DNA test at home, using a home kit. Many vets and breeders use them since these kits are the result of strict tests and are monitored to ensure you get a high quality product that gives you accurate results. They are a cheaper alternative to sending your dog’s samples to the vet’s office. There is also the added advantage of reducing your pet’s stress level when you do it at home.

Is DNA testing accurate?

This is the question that jumps to most people’s mind – yes, it is easy and simple, but is DNA testing even accurate? Several factors can affect the accuracy of a DNA test and subsequent results. The first and foremost is how you collect the actual sample. Before you get started, read the instructions very carefully so that you do not end up with a sample that does not contain enough DNA. 

The Final Verdict on DNA Testing

Should you get your dog’s DNA tested or not? It is really up to you. If as a dog owner, you do not care what breed your pet is, then do not have them tested. It is important to keep in mind, however, that with guard dogs, the breed of the dog really matters; same is the case with protection dogs. This is because not all breeds meet the protection dog requirements, including strong nerves, better instincts, courage, and various other factors. 

What to Do Next

If you have made up your mind to get a DNA test done on your guard dog, then on your next visit, ask the vet any questions that come to your mind regarding this matter. Your vet will provide you with some helpful hints, as well as recommend brands that give accurate results.

At CCPD, we take pride in providing our customers with purebred German Shepherd, Dutch Shepherd, and Belgian Malinois personal protection dogs. However, that is not always the case when you buy a dog from somewhere else. Your family’s personal dog might not be the breed you think it is when you bought it. A DNA test can help you solve this mystery. To read more visit, www.ccprotectiondogs.com

The Need For Personal Protection Dog

Every year, The California Attorney General reports statistical crime data to the government and to the citizens of California . The latest report indicates that while crime rate decreased in every offense since 2012, the numbers are still a cause for concern. The violent crime rate is at 397 per 100,000 residents. Property crime, which has declined from 2008, is still at 2,665 per 100,000 residents. CC Protection Dogs, California’s reputable supplier of protection dogs recommends investment in a canine companion for the greatest peace of mind.

CCPD is a leading protection dog supplier in California with clients from all walks of life. The dogs are expertly taught to be fearless and defend their charge against assailants. This is achieved through a combination of communication, direction and correction training. Perry from CCPD tells us: “Most of our customers arrive at the decision to purchase a protection dog after having been a victim of burglary or assault. By taking the positive step to get a protection dog beforehand, people can spare themselves the emotional shock of having their property invaded or their loved ones threatened”.

With crimes rates in California falling but not low enough for peace of mind, many people are finding it hard to feel safe in their own homes. 

The popularity of crime-busting gadgets such as access control is on the rise but CCPD encourages investment in a canine companion too. Protection dogs provide a real deterrent to burglary and around the clock security. The challenge is to find a good fit. One size does not fit all and protection dogs require expert training to develop into trusted companions with the right skill set to defend against potential assailants.

CCPD is at the forefront of protection dog training in California with custom services available to dog owners and a selection of dogs from the best bloodlines. To view are available Dogs, visit our gallery at www.ccprotectiondogs.com

CCPD'S Top Secrets To Keep Your Dog Fit

If you own a dog, caring for it is an important responsibility that requires a real and genuine personal commitment. It is important to make sure that everyone in the family shares in this responsibility and commitment. The dog that you bring into your home must honestly feel loved by each family member.

You can do five important things when caring for a dog to ensure it stays happy and healthy.

The first thing to know is that your dog needs water. Like any other living thing, your dog always needs fresh water to stay healthy. Poorly regulated contaminants, including harmful chemicals such as lead and even low levels of prescription medication, can enter into your tap water supply. The solution is to have a good water filter. A water filter will help remove most harmful toxins, making the water much healthier for both you and your dog.

The second thing your dog needs is highly nutritious, quality food. When you feed your dog, it is important to choose healthy ingredients. Many dog food labels on the market today are nutritiously quite deceiving. They may have dubious sourced ingredients or product mixes to comply with government labeling standards. They may contain things that you would probably not want your dog to eat. A good dog food is one that meets the higher labeling standard of being “complete and balanced.” When you choose your dog food look for one with more meat than fillers. When you are looking at the package look to see that it lists meats like lamb, beef, or chicken and that the fat to protein content meets recommended nutritional guidelines. Also, look to see if it contains natural preservatives, as these are much healthier for your dog.

The third thing you can do is make sure that your dog receives proper health care. It is very important that you take your dog to the vet for regular check-ups. Flea and heart worm control are common canine conditions that are easy to diagnose and prevent but extremely costly if not treated. Heart worms are parasitic mosquito-borne infections known to kill or injure dogs by damaging the heart and blood vessels. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, taking your dog to the vet is an ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure.

The fourth thing you can do is exercise your dog. Many people don’t think about this as being one of the most important things that keeps a dog healthy, but it is. In the United States, 40 percent of dogs are considered overweight. Just like humans, it is important to keep your dog’s weight under control because it can lead to health problems. Help your dog exercise by doing things like taking it for daily walks. Exercise and playful workouts not only enhance the bonding experience but also can help avoid some behavioral problems.

Lastly, and probably the most important thing you can do for your dog is show affection. Letting your dog know that you care affects their health in the most positive way. To learn more visit,

Around The Kennel : Change in the Season

Springtime around the kennel is the most exciting time of the year. It means warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours. This translates to more time spent exercising and training our dogs, more hours practicing agility on the course and extended bite work time.

Although we have an indoor training rink, we prefer to work outside. The Great weather also allows us to perform aquatic exercises. The dogs will be deployed across the pond, engage the target suspect and are then commanded to release and return to the side of the handler. Giving our dogs challenges like this prepare them for any situation they may encounter in the real world.

Spring is also whelping season. Cindy, one of our top Belgian Malinois, just whelped five strong, dense pups. Our newest litter still has a few pups not reserved; please feel free to contact us with any questions.

Lastly, CCPD has started a series of landscaping projects, including ingenious dens on the westside of our 5 acre state of the art facility.

We’ll keep you posted. To see more visit www.ccprotectiondogs.com

CCPD'S Advise How To Train Your Dog

Years ago, when I received my personal protection dog from CC Protection Dogs, the trainers went into detail about how my dog was trained. In addition, I remember a story they told me about another trainer who called them seeking advice on how to work with a dog that had reached a learning impasse due to behavioral issues.

This trainer explained one of his methods for becoming the dog’s “pack leader” involved biting the ear of the dog, something wolves in wild packs do. Another ritual he adopted as a training technique involved “alpha rolling” the dog; again, something wolves do.

The problem this particular trainer had is that he viewed dogs and wolves in similar ways due to ancestral history. In fact, this well-meaning trainer was correct in his desire for control but his misunderstanding of the real dynamics of the human/dog relationship meant he was going about it the wrong way.

Over the years, I’ve heard other people advocate similar types of flawed training and I’ve concluded that dogs understand their role in the human world better than humans understand their role in the dog world. Simply put, dogs are smart enough not to confuse a human for a dog. I’m certain my executive protection dog doesn’t get the two of us confused.

Considering the complexity and intricacy of canine interactions, it would be arrogant to think that humans are able to accurately replicate a dog’s view of the world. Given that dogs are masters of body language, they view human attempts at imitating canine behavior as abnormal at best. When a dog bites another dog’s ear there is much more going on than meets the eye. We shouldn’t presume we understand what’s happening.

By observing wolf behavior, we really are highlighting the differences between wolves and dogs. The two behaviors are not interchangeable. The ways in which wolves interface with one another should not be applied to our own interactions with dogs; nor should the way dogs interface with each other.

The differences in the two species are apparent. While wolves do all that they can to avoid humans, dogs readily leave their litter mates to join them (the reverse of the pack instinct). Dogs will even defend their two-legged human companions against another dog. They are fully committed to defending their human handlers whereas wolf pack leaders often have to defend their position from rival members within their own pack. Such behaviors, a few of many, demonstrate that dogs view us differently than they view their own kind.

So when asserting yourself with your personal protection dog or canine companion, please keep in mind that he or she does not see you as another dog. Dogs see us as something they think is even better: a human. To learn more visit, www.ccprotectiondogs.com

Protection Dogs And Firearms

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the advantages of owning a personal protection Dog over purchasing a gun. My own recent experience at a shooting range proved first hand many of the reasons why, when it comes to personal safety and home security, trained dogs have the edge. Don’t misunderstand. As a security professional, I’m all for anything that makes a family safer; guns have their place in the matrix. But when it comes down to it trained dogs trump firearms.

At the range I had the opportunity to shoot both a 45 GLOCK and 44 Smith & Wesson. Much like the training course each client receives when we deliver a protection dog, it’s important to be properly educated before firing a gun. What struck me most is the awkwardness of handling a firearm.

Under stress, in a situation when someone is being attacked, a gun user would need to be very well practiced to accurately disable his or her aggressor. It’s not impossible since there are many gun enthusiasts that practice frequently. However, most people don’t have the time or desire to get to this level. With a Executive Protection Dog, the situation is different. At delivery, our trainers teach you everything you need to know. After we leave, you are free to call us 24/7 with any questions. The first few days after we leave may feel awkward but shortly thereafter you will feel completely comfortable. In a way, by daily walks, feeding and obedience, you are “practicing” with your dog- everyday. So if a situation should occur, giving your dog commands will feel as natural as shooting a target 20 feet away feels to some people.

Another great advantage of owning a protection dog revolves around family safety. Many people are uncomfortable with the idea of keeping a loaded gun in their home (especially with children) for obvious reasons. Leaving the gun in a secure place, unloaded, is a frequent solution. You may feel more secure with the unloaded gun but from a practical standpoint you will most likely not be able to find, load and discharge the gun if someone breaks into your home or assaults you. Guns offer peace of mind; this doesn’t necessarily equate to increased safety.

Laws in the US may increase gun ownership control, making it even more difficult to possess a gun. Concealed weapons permits are controversial and many states will only issue these under extreme circumstances.

Therefore, while it is possible to bring your dog with you in public it is increasingly more difficult to carry a firearm. Also, a protection dog is significantly more discreet.

Unlike a gun, protection dogs serve the dual purpose of having all of the attributes of a family pet. We never sell dogs that aren’t fond of children or other animals. So the upside is that in addition to having true personal security, you’ll also have an affectionate and fun companion. A companion with a natural instinct to guard, the training to back it up, who will not hesitate to protect- or even take a bullet for you. None of this can be said for a gun. Importantly, your protection dog can never be turned against his or her handler. Sadly, there are some who have had their own firearm turned against them while trying to protect themselves.

I once read a study where they asked individuals that if given the choice would they rather be shot, stabbed or bitten by a dog. Overwhelmingly, most chose to be shot or stabbed. The concept of being bitten by an animal was chosen as the most frightening. The first two choices were seen as less painful and less likely to inflict the most harm even though all three can be lethal. I’m not surprised and I completely agree. It is an instinct to have extreme fear of animals that are poised to bite- wild animals or those trained in defense of their handler.

All in all, you make the decision for what is best for your family. But from my perspective, a gun may make you feel safer but a protection or guard dog will undoubtedly make you safer. To read more go to www.ccprotectiondogs.com

Female Protection Dogs

When it comes to protection dogs, most  customers normally request a male dog. The military, law enforcement and clients seeking K9 security dogs overwhelmingly feel that males are the most

physically imposing and effective visual deterrent.

Therefore, the majority of dogs that I train are males in order to meet this demand. It is unfortunate, however, that the special attributes that a female brings to the table aren’t widely known. All in all, female protection dogs are extremely capable; they just have an image problem.

Marketing over the years has misaligned female dogs as weaker and less able to defend their handler. Nothing could be further from the truth! Once females have been introduced into their new family they almost always bond closer to their family than their male counterparts. More affectionate and less independent, watching over and protecting their owner is a much deeper emotional affair. The intensity of their bite, when in defense, is actually greater.

It has been my experience that female protection dogs are much easier to train and learn at a faster rate. They are adept at integrating into their new family and swiftly blend into any situation they are consigned to. They are fantastic at blending with family pets and children. Size really isn’t an issue since there are plenty of females that are physically formidable. CCPD is able to provide any size or build that you desire, male or female.

One of my own personal protection dogs is a female. CCPD produces exceptional dogs and  Cindy fits the CCPD profile of everything an outstanding protection dog should be. Yet there is a certain ‘protective tension’ that can be felt when she is at my defense. Teeth bared, saliva, stiff stance, intense growling, just as spectacular as my male personal protection dog but with a slightly more hot-blooded twist. She’s a protection dog with the added benefit of being like an over protective mother all rolled into one.

So when you call us to talk about ownership of a protection dog, whether it be a German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois , please keep an open mind when considering gender. You’ll be very happy with one of our males but the benefits of the female canine should be recognized.

The Advanges Of A Family Protection Dog

Many families believe that if they get a certain dog breed, like a Rottweiler or a German Shepherd for example, it will automatically protect their homes owing to their instincts. That is a huge misconception. In fact, almost all dogs will go with ‘flight’ instead of ‘fight’ when faced with this situation. That is the self-preservation instinct in effect. 

The Soaring Crime Rate

When we talk about the increasing crime rate, we are left with only a few options to pursue. You can get a new security alarm system, or a personal weapon for self-defense. 

On the other hand, a Protection dog that has been trained effectively, serves to protect the entire family from threats and criminals trying to break in or attempting to harm your loved ones. 

There are various types of Protection Dogs that you can get for yourself:

A guard dog gives you and your family a sense of security. You feel more comfortable when you leave your home or your valuables and are not around to keep an eye on them. Check out CC protection dog’s website and go through their professionally trained dogs for sale. These dogs are trained for families, women, and children.  

But is the benefit of owning a 

Protection  Dog limited to making you feel safer? Not at all; there is a lot more to owning a  Personal Protection dog of your own.

Responds Fast

Protection  dogs are more responsive and have faster reflexes. This way, whatever you command them to do, they will be at it on your first cry. A dog with obedience training will not be as quick to respond as a professionally trained guard dog will.

Loyal

 Protection dogs are extremely loyal. They are trained to only listen to their owner’s commands. Protection dogs cannot be bribed by others and will never accept treats from strangers, thus making it difficult for a criminal to get the best of them. 

Companionship

A trained Protection Dog will protect you when you need to be protected, while being your loyal companion the rest of the time. Few things can compare to a pet’s love for their owners. 

A protection dog is a confident canine, sure of its strength, and therefore will not act like a ‘junk yard dog’ one-time biter when faced with a situation.  Protection dogs have better health as they are physically fit, and unlike most dogs, do not respond adversely to sudden noises and other form of stimulus unless the situation demands it.  At CC Protection Dogs, you will find dogs both young and old. If your family would like to have a young trained pooch as a part of their family then you can have those too. To view our available  Trained German Shepherd for sale visit www.ccprotectiondogs.com

Five Question About Getting A Protection Dog Answered

The world as we know it today is a dangerous place. Crime levels are soaring and in particular property crime statistics including burglary means it's hard to feel safe in our own homes. But if your home is your castle where you retreat from the strains and stresses of the world around you, you need to feel secure, and more importantly, you need to make sure you don’t become a crime statistic.

And fair enough, all homeowners take certain precautions to make their home less of a target for criminals. Some make their home look like someone is in it at all times. Some fit doors and windows with high security locks. Some even go as far as investing in a bunch of hi-tech gadgets including fancy alarm systems, CCTV and electronic access control systems to make it as hard as possible for outsiders to gain entry into their property. The truth is: These are all viable security solutions but nothing beats the very real, very visible and very effective deterrent that a protection dog can be. Protection dogs also offer the unique advantage of not only detecting disturbance but also acting upon it, selflessly defending their charge against potential threats and assailants.

If you are in the market for a protection dog, you probably have a lot of questions. Let’s answer some of them. Perhaps the most important question is the following:

- Why do I need a protection dog?

An extension of the above, a protection dog can provide you with the greatest peace of mind. If you have been a victim of burglary or you have a neighbor or acquaintance who has been a victim, you would know that having your home invaded can be deeply upsetting. A protection dog is very real deterrent for criminals with the right confidence and skill set to defend your home and family against cunning crooks should they somehow gain access to your property. In essence, a protection dog is at the same time the best companion you can hope for and a sword by your side.

Other pertinent questions include:

- How do I choose a protection dog?

Not all protection dogs are trained equal, and not all breeds share the same characteristics. If you are thinking about getting a protection dog, dog breed is an important consideration. Individual dog breeds can be compared to one another in terms of size, trainability, barking level and grooming needs among other things. The German Shepherd, for instance, is an energetic, strong, confident and smart well-muscled animal. These big guys were born to work and therefore require lots of mental and physical exercise. They also have a very good ability to assimilate and retain training. Another dog breed that makes the perfect loyal companion and protection dog is the Belgian Malinois. A high-energy worker and well-muscled animal that’s more elegant than bulky, the Belgian Malinois has long been used as both a police and military working dog.

- Does personality and temperament matter?

Depending on your lifestyle, one dog breed may make more sense for you than another. In particular, you need to consider how similar and different you are to your favorite dog breed in terms of energy, cleanliness, sociability, independence, trainability and playfulness.

- Can I trust a protection dog around my children?

In Dogdom, aggression is not the preferred course of action. Dogs only feel inclined to attack each other and humans alike if they feel a threat to themselves, their pack, or their territory. If you choose a well-bred dog, the animal will not be a problem around kids. The key is early socialization and exposure in order for the canine to fit in our home and world better. A well trained dog can go on to become your child’s best friend and most loyal companion, developing a very special bond over time. Supervision, of course, is important.

- What kind of training do protection dogs need? What else do I need to know?

And finally, getting a protection dog comes with certain responsibilities. For instance, the canine needs to be expertly trained using a combination of communication, direction and correction training to develop the confidence and right skill set to be an integral part of your family as well as a weapon by your side to defend your home, business and/or loved ones against criminals and cunning crooks. Protection dogs also require care in terms of nutrition and feeding, coat and grooming, exercise as well as veterinary and health care.

How Can You Tell If Your Dog Is Overweight?

It’s a fact that dogs love to eat. Therefore, left unchecked and unregulated, your canine companion may put on weight very quickly, especially if it does not get an appropriate level of physical activity everyday. As a matter of fact, it is estimated that about 40% of pets in America are overweight. This is not a good, especially in dogs because gaining as few as 5 extra pounds may make an animal appear physically cuter, happier and more cuddly but on the inside, effects of the extra weight slowly lead to things such as difficulty to move around, diabetes, respiratory, heart and digestive diseases, osteoarthritis and joint problems, poorer resistance to bacterial and viral infections, high blood pressure and a shorter life span among other things.

 

But how can you tell if your pet is overweight? After all, a lot of bulk can go unnoticed on a dog when spread out over a big-bodied or exceptionally hairy animal. The key is to assess whether or not the ribs are plainly visible or submerged under a thick layer of fatty tissue. Here is what you do:

 

1. Feel your dog’s ribs 
2. Try pressing lightly on the skin
3. Can you feel the ribs without much effort? 

 

- If you have to press hard to feel the bones, you have a problem.

 

The other indicator that your pet may be overweight is its general body shape. If you can’t discern a waistline between the ribs and hindquarters or as we like to call it “an hour-glass figure”, it’s a cause for concern. 

 

Alternatively, you can turn to science. Using a series of measurements, a vet will be able to tell you what the ideal weight of your pet should be based on its body fat index. 

 

So your dog is overweight! What next?

 

If a dog is overweight, it’s probably due to a lack of exercise, overfeeding or a combination of both mirroring obesity in humans. It can also be due to a metabolic condition called hypothyroidism common in dogs and some other pets. To help your overweight pet:

 

 

1. Assess the animal’s food intake

 

If your dog has a weight problem, the first thing to consider is its diet. Take an objective look at how you are feeding your pet. For instance, measure the amount of food you place in the feeding bowl. You also need to avoid snacks from the dinner table and mind the treats because small bites add up. But don’t compromise on quality; your pet’s food needs to be complete and balanced. 

 

 

2. Protein & water

 

Every dog needs a good source of protein where meat is the primary ingredient and not by-products of corn and other similar raw materials.   If your pet needs to lose a lot of weight, consider an appropriate low fat diet. Water should be plentiful at all times and more importantly fresh and clean water.

 

 

3. Exercise

 

Last but not least, like in humans, weight loss in dogs will not happen without an appropriate level of regular physical activity be it leisure walks for 30 minutes or more everyday . To ease your pet into a more active lifestyle, start with a reasonable level of exercise and gradually increase it.  Remember that exercising your pet is not unpleasant for the animal. In fact, an inactive pet is more likely to become depressed and/or anxious due to altered levels of 3 brain chemicals namely norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin. So be a responsible pet owner and keep your best pal fit, trim and healthy. To learn more visit, www.ccprotectiondogs.com

The Bulldog as a Protection Dog

The American Bulldog is a stocky, muscular mastiff-type breed, and one of several breeds that grew from the original Old English Bulldog. Their coat is short, smooth and generally white, although color patterns including black, brown and brindle are not uncommon. They can be divided between Johnson-type and Scott-type, with the shape of the muzzle being the most distinct difference between the two, although the majority of American Bulldogs today are a mix of both. Between the modern British Bulldog and the American Bulldog, the American breed is the larger of the two, and most closely resembles the original Old English breed.

Like many breeds of dog, the Bulldog nearly vanished after the Second World War. American breeders by the name of Alan Scott and John Johnson, among several others, sought to rebuild the breed. Keeping a close eye on preserving the breed's original loyalty and working ability, the resulting breed became the American Bulldog that we know today.

Due to the bulky, muscular appearance of the dog, they are frequently portrayed in television and movies as a fearsome and intimidating breed, often in roles as a guard dog. However, the true temperament of the American Bulldog is actually much friendlier. Due to their history as a working dog being focused largely on hunting, their prey drive is especially strong. Even today, they are commonly used to hunt wild boar. Unfortunately, breeds with a high prey drive often do not make good guard dogs or protection dogs. Other working breeds with a naturally high defensive drive such as the Belgian Malinois or German Shepherd are much better suited for work as a Protection Dogs.

How to Work Your Dog in Box Training

Box training, or as some people may call it, table topping, is almost a dying art. As I’ve said before, the work that we do at CC Protection Dogsis very special, we incorporate this method in all of our protection dogs. We feel this helps harden the grip and builds confidence with our young German Shepherd puppies and Belgian Malinois puppies to bite on elevation.

The concept is very simple; one would take an elevated table or box with two sides on it, with the front and back open and exposed. The dog is placed in the box with an over-head beam and a harness that is fastened to the dog, so that it does not slip off. It is important to use a very slippery surface; we use sheet metal. The decoy then approaches the dog from the front end. When done correctly, the dog has no choice but to use only his jaw power to bite. This is only effective if your Protection Dogs has already developed their bite work. This is very advanced work and should only be done with experienced trainers.

Trained Young Protection Dogs

Yes they are cute! But the German Shepherd Puppies that are bred to be Personal Protection Dogs are genetically special. They were bred with a specific purpose, with decades of proven bloodlines behind them, products of selective breeding. Nothing is left to chance. No detail can be

forgotten. Not when it comes to the defense of you and your family.

What does CC Protection Dogs look for? Only the top 1% of German shepherds will even qualify when vetted as puppies for the Elite Protection Dogs or Executive Protection Dogs programs. All the working drives must be in place: prey drive, defense drive, hunting drive. The puppies are highly confident with a strong nerve and great temperament. They can function within a pack.

Even as puppies it is clear the environment does not dictate who they are. They are intelligent enough to make decisions in every scenario but have the control to listen to their pack leader (that would be you).

So with years of training, a German shepherd puppy will become a highly trained Dog. To leard more visit, www.ccprotectiondogs.com

Executive Protection Dogs

At Command Control Protection Dogs our training programs differ a way that creates more than one type of Protection Dog. For instance, those who are interested in purchasing a protector there is the choice of an executive Protection Dogs or an Elite Family Esate Protection Dogs. In addition, we also have a program that develops a pure guard dog. There is a large misconception that guard dogs and personal protection dogs are one in the same however, they have quite different responsibilities. 

Just like with any purchase from a breeder, my fellow trainers and I make sure to take everything into account when choosing a dog. While inspecting any litter we always make sure that the pup comes from a strong bloodline with incredible genetics. The dog’s temperament is then another major factor that we take into consideration. All temperaments are first inherited and then influenced by the dog’s environment and training. When deciding to pick a pup that will potentially place into one of our programs we look to see if their temperament is naturally friendly, calm, and adaptable or a bit more aggressive. Some traits of a German Shepherd or Belgian Malnois’ disposition will make them more suitable to one day become a guard dog for sale.

If you are interested in purchasing a guard dog rather than a Personal protection Dogs you must understand that guard dogs are trained to act on their own. Meaning that they can maintain and carry out their given duties without the owner’s presence. A guard dog is trained to be given a designated area that will become theirs to protect. They will most definitely attack and demobilize anyone who trespasses through their home ground, and can do this without the command of their owner. Due to this inherently and trained aggressive nature, guard dogs usually do not make good family pets. They are conditioned to become protectors of property not people, leaving their social skills to be untrustworthy. I strongly advise anyone looking for a protector to understand the vast differences.

Choosing the Right Dog House For Your Dog

Many of us may take shelter for granted. We live in well-built homes that keep us warm in winter and cool in summer. Our homes have electricity, insulation and running water. While many dogs are naturally able to withstand harsh weather with durable double coats, this does not mean that they do not require shelter. While a dog house may not be able to provide electricity or running water, it still needs to keep your dog warm and dry.

One of the most important aspects of choosing a house for your canine is size. A dog house needs to be large enough for your dog to comfortably turn around inside of, but small enough that your dog’s natural body heat will collect inside the dog house to keep it warm. Most working breeds, such as the German Shepherd, or Belgian Malinois are between 22′′ to 26′′ at the whithers. A dog of this size would require a sleeping area of approximately 22′′x38′′ with a ceiling height of about 30′′. Many animal welfare organizations offer published documents outlining specific measurements for the ideal dog house for different sizes of dog. 

Other important factors to consider are proper insulation for climates with harsh winters, and a soft bedding material such as straw. It is recommended that the dog house be slightly elevated by bricks or cinder blocks to prevent the floor from absorbing moisture from the ground. A canvas flap can also be used to further protect the house from harsh weather. For more information visit, www.ccprotectiondogs.com
