Personal protection training is designed to take the canine's natural protective instincts and teach them when, where and how to use them. We teach these skills in the same manner as we teach all other things.

It is safe for all involved, during and after. It does not make the canine more aggressive, it makes them more confident and knowledgeable of when, where and how to use their natural protective instincts. We have great control over our canines on/ off leash and can better handle situations as they arise.  It's giving the canine a whole new set of tools in a constructive way.
