Tips for Getting a Puppy

Getting a puppy is always an exciting time. You will be welcoming a new family member, and this may be the first dog that you own. Puppies are cute, fun, and can bring many benefits to their owners. However, they are not a project that should be taken on lightly. A dog is for life, not just a Christmas, and puppies demand far more of their owners than an adult dog would. This blog will offer tips for getting a puppy, and hopefully give some insight into how to care for one. When getting a puppy, owners should first consider

How The Police Use Dogs

Police forces around the world have made extensive use of dogs for hundreds of years. With their enduring utility, it is hard to imagine the police dog as a capability which could ever become obsolete. Broadly speaking, police dogs have two functions which occasionally overlap: protection and detection. In the US police dogs will often be able to offer both capabilities whereas in the UK they are usually separated. Protection work hinges on a police dog’s ability to bite a suspect, as well as its resulting deterrence. While sometimes incorrectly viewed as an escalation of force, deploying bite-trained police dogs

Can I Leave My Dog Alone At Home?

One of the most common questions we are asked is whether or not dogs can be left alone at home, and if so then how long can they be left for? Unfortunately, we are unable to give a single easy answer. Dogs will all respond differently to being left alone, so it is instead better to offer guidelines that can be applied to individual animals. As a general rule, it is preferable that dogs are left alone as infrequently as possible and if this is necessary then only for relatively short windows of time. As dogs are such social animals,

How to Bond With Your Dog

Dogs’ epithet of “man’s best friend” is as well-deserved as it is true. Dogs’ capacity for interspecies friendships is truly remarkable, and unlike that of any other domestic animal. Rather than humans domesticating dogs, it may well have been dogs who effectively self-domesticated so they could benefit from us and what we offered them. Dogs’ ability to bond with humans to the point of viewing us as surrogate family, or “pack” members has been integral to what they are as a species. Human owners and handlers must be prepared to invest time and effort into bonding with their dogs. This

Are Protection Dogs Worth Their Price?

We are often asked if our dogs justify the high prices we charge. Tens of thousands of dollars may seem more than what many would be willing to spend on a pet, but our prices are a fair reflection of the product we offer. Those we work with are much more than just a pet, and represent some of the highest performing and most capable young dogs in the word. We source our dogs internationally,  only selecting the best puppies from reputable breeders we know well and trust. The process of training a dog for family protection work takes months.

Why Are German Shepherds Used as Police Dogs?

The German Shepherd is the breed perhaps most used by police forces around the world. Its capacity for work is remarkable, and it has proven itself time after time in a range of operational settings as far back as the late 1800s. Be it public order, tracking, or apprehension, the German Shepherd excels in whatever it does and is perhaps the ideal police dog. Two of the reasons for its success is its above average intelligence and high trainability. The German Shepherd was developed to protect as well as herd large flocks of sheep, often without a handler’s supervision or

Training Standards for Protection Dogs

Rigorous training underpins everything we do at Protection Dogs Worldwide. Whatever its natural temperament, an untrained dog should not be relied on for family or personal protection. Our training standards are high but considered, and ultimately work towards creating the ultimate family or personal protection dog. The highest standard of obedience is the foundation of everything we do and seek to achieve. If a dog is not fully obedient, then we do not believe that it can progress to more complex training such as protection work. A family or personal protection dog needs to be relied upon to follow its

Exercising Your Protection Dog

All dogs should be exercised regularly, ideally twice a day. In the UK, the most common way to exercise a dog is to take them for one or two walks a day, more often than not on a lead or free running them in a park or some other open space. These are good ways to exercise a dog, but far from the only options. Exercise is so beneficial and important to all dogs that it cannot be neglected. As protection dogs are almost by default more active and energetic than a usual pet, their individual need for exercise will

What Breed of Protection Dog Should I Get?

While some customers come to us knowing which breed of protection dog they want, this is not always the case. Many customers enter the process of buying a protection dog having never owned any kind of pet before, so are open to the possibility of any breed we offer. The first question customers should ask in such instances is what are their particular needs? Do they have young children which means they need to be at home more, or are they single and more active? Do they have allergies to breeds which shed? Apart from protection, do they have any

Common Breeds for Protection Work

Dogs have always been used for protective and guarding purposes. The wolf’s formidable bite was harnessed from its first domestications, and has remained in use since. A number of breeds are used today for protection work, some of which are more suitable than others for different settings. Perhaps the best, most common, and most versatile protection dog is the German Shepherd. It is highly intelligent, courageous, and loyal. Its remarkable trainability and work drive have established the German Shepherd as perhaps the world’s premier working dog breed. As such, it is found in military, police, and private security settings all
