Protection Dog Training

At Dog Training Elite, we know that safety is important. That’s why we offer expert protection dog training for individuals and families.

Our approach is simple: we prioritize your dog’s role as a pet first, and a protector second. We do not train dogs with aggressive temperaments to attack. Instead, we focus on temperament testing to ensure your dog is prepared for various situations. By encouraging both protective and loving instincts, we help you raise a dog that is loyal, fun, and a great family companion.

We Focus on Protection, Not Aggression

Our guard dog trainers will work closely with you and any other family member who interacts with your dog to ensure a positive relationship. Our training program is focused on protection, not aggression, meaning your dog will only attack when given a command.

We hope that attack commands will never be necessary, but knowing that your dog is fully trained and ready to protect is reassuring.

    We LOVE ❤️ working with the staff at Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin! They are kind and guide us to be the best versions of ourselves. Lessons are challenging, engaging, and fun. The trainers are patient with our Mama as she learns to be consistent and confident with our commands. Plus, they have the best treats! We highly recommend and give them a four paw review times two! 🐾🐾🐾🐾 ~Zola & Frida~

    Jared and his staff made a big difference in Blazes obedience. He is happy to listen to commands. They made the training easy for Blaze and my wife and I to understand. Overall it was an excellent choice to have Blaze trained by Dog Training Elite.

    Rhett is knowledgeable and can explain things in a clear and understandable manner without being condescending. I left today thinking my dog is not failing because I was about to give up on her becoming a service dog.

    Rhett is great with my k9 and strives to find and repair any deficiencies he sees in her training which is fantastic and means a lot in helping me bind with my k9 during the training. Thank you!

    The 5 stars are specifically for Denise personally. We had our phone consultation aa planned in hopes I could get my sweet baby some training. Unfortunately, its way more than the budget allows. Prices start at $1,000.00 for puppy and it just goes up from there. Im sure its worth it, but its just too much. Denise earned 5 stars because she spent extra time assisting me find a different trainer for my 9 month old puppy. Thank you Denise, I appreciate your kindness and help.

    We had Deidre come out and I am so grateful we did. She was so knowledgeable in how to train our pup. I had been feeling so overwhelmed with training our 4 month old puppy and wondering if I would even be successful. Deidre had reassured me and gave me a plan to achieve all our training dreams. We cannot wait to get started and are confident any Dog Training Elite trainer will help us train and raise a the most respectful dog.

    Clint has been a game changer. Frank struggled with reactivity and behavior challenges, and the transformation has been incredible. He is calmer, more focused, and truly feels like a different dog. Clint gave me the tools and confidence to continue the work at home. Highly recommend.

How We Train Personal Protection Dogs

At Dog Training Elite, we take a thorough and balanced approach to training personal protection dogs. Our process ensures your dog is fully prepared for protection duties while maintaining a calm and obedient demeanor.

Here’s how we do it:

  1. Initial Assessment: We begin by evaluating your dog’s physical and mental readiness for protection work. Older, overweight, or anxious dogs may not be suited for these duties. If needed, we start with basic obedience training to ensure a solid foundation before moving forward.
  2. Specialized Training: Once your dog is deemed fit, we develop a personalized training plan tailored to your dog’s unique abilities and your specific needs. We utilize proven techniques throughout the entire training process to build confidence and trust between you and your dog.
  3. Ongoing Support: We are always available for questions and provide ongoing training if needed. Our trainers are committed to helping you maintain your dog’s skills and providing support as your needs evolve.
