KNINE
Protection Training
Real Confidence. Real Control. Real Protection.
When it comes to protection training, you want more than just a barking dog—you want a clear-headed partner with control, precision, and purpose. Whether you're looking for personal protection, family defense, or advanced working dog training, the KNINE Protection Program is built to deliver results through structure, strategy, and real-world reliability.
This isn’t for everyone. But if you’re ready to take your dog’s training to the highest level of discipline and usefulness—you’re in the right place.
🛡️ What is Protection Training?
Protection work isn’t about aggression—it’s about obedience under pressure, calm confidence, and clear thinking in high-stress situations. At KNINE, we teach your dog to protect with purpose—not react out of fear.
We focus on:
✅ Advanced Obedience Under Distraction
✅ Handler Control at All Times
✅ Building Drive Without Recklessness
✅ Targeting & Engagement with Control
✅ Bite Work & Release on Command
✅ Scenario-Based Defensive Drills
✅ Decoy Conditioning and Real-World Exposure
Your dog will learn how to defend, deter, and de-escalate—not dominate. This is real protection for real life, built on a foundation of mutual respect and rock-solid trust.
💡 Who This Program Is For?
Our protection program is for serious dog owners who want:
-
A reliable personal or family protection dog
-
