Advantages of Having a Protection Dog Puppy

At CC Protection Dogs, we also provide you with trained German shepherd protection puppies. Trained from an early age, our protection puppies will effortlessly integrate into your family. Here are some reasons why owning a protection puppy can be highly advantageous:

The breed, German shepherd, is synonymous with protection and the puppies are no different. Naturally defensive and highly protective, they are not only fearless and alert but the highly intelligent puppies are eager to learn. This means that they are highly malleable to any habits that you would want to promote in them.

We all know the importance of starting to learn at an early age. Our protection puppies come from the best of parents and are well trained, so that they become good protection dogs for your family as they grow up.

Forming a healthy relationship with your pet is of paramount importance. A protection puppy learns to trust and love you and your family, as it grows up with your children. With the consistency and stability your family provides it, that love will translate into obedience and protection.

Our protection puppies undergo physical conditioning, such as multiple brisk walks daily, as well as simultaneous mental stimulation that continually challenges the dog. A bored German shepherd puppy is not interested in learning and we make sure all of our protection puppies reach their full potential. Their training and your continual support helps them become balanced adults that will keep your family protected.

Since the only German shepherd puppies we provide have had exposure to children from a very early age, this allows them to integrate well and become a family member in your house.

The importance of a German shepherd puppy in realizing you as the leader of the pack and its alpha will only help it fulfill its role as a protective member of the household. The earlier you define that role in a puppy’s life, the easier it is for it to accept.

Our well-structured training helps us bring out the best in the puppies and lets you see them for who they actually are –one the most loyal, protective, versatile, and attentive dog breeds there is! When trained well, German shepherds loyally stick by you, no matter what happens, even following your instructions like clockwork!

When you adopt a German shepherd puppy at an early age, you reinforce the lessons that we have drilled into them through training. Consistency and stability reinforces what is expected of them as protection puppies, and later as protection dogs.

Along with a fully structured plan to train them at an age as early as 5 weeks, the protection puppies are also exposed to various environments and surfaces. This helps them deal with situations they are likely to encounter in the real world.

Our protection puppies are really one of a kind! See our adopt Puppies at, www.ccprotectiondogs.com

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

Pit Bull Good Protection Dogs?

Pit Bulls are of the most ferocious and toughest dog breeds in the world, so many people wonder why they aren’t used as elite protection dogs. Especially since they are so strong, agile, and aggressive. While its true that pit bulls are athletic dogs that can both inflict and withstand a lot of pain, they are simply too unpredictable to be trained as elite protection dogs. There are many pit bulls that make great family pets and guard dogs . These dogs are lucky enough to have very caring owners who take the time to train and socialize them properly. However, more often than not, pit bulls are not trained and the animal reverts to its instinctive aggressive nature. Sometimes these untrained dogs attack neighbors, other animals, or even newborn infants. Pit bulls were bred for centuries to be used in dog fighting and bull baiting, and only with extensive, proper training, can this tendency for violence be controlled. Unfortunately, many pit bull owners don’t bother with training, or even worse, they encourage the aggressive behavior. Pit bulls are found in animal       shelters across the country because of lazy or uninformed owners. Pit bulls do make excellent guard dogs, and can be used for basic protection of your home and property. Many pit bulls will instinctively attack an intruder, and the mere sight of a pit bull is often enough to scare away criminals. Some pit bulls can be even trained to attack on command, but the consistency of attack and release can be sketchy. Put simply, they are highly trainable, yet have been known to

sometimes rebel. German Shepherd puppies and Belgian Malinois, on the other hand, are consistent, predictable, and make perfect elite protection dogs.To learn more visit  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
