THE LADIES MAN LOVIN’ UP ON HIS NEW BESTIE, OTTILIE 😍

Brisco, aka the ladies' man, recently joined the Taylor Made Personal Protection program. This handsome little man will undergo five months of rigorous training to develop essential skills for his new role as an estate protection dog.

This program includes advanced off-leash obedience, enabling him to respond reliably in various public environments.

Brisco will also learn to alert on command, detect potential threats, and differentiate everyday situations from those requiring action. Additionally, training will focus on identifying and neutralizing threats, ensuring he can respond quickly and decisively. Specialized bite training will teach him to engage only when commanded, promoting safety and control.

Throughout this intensive training, Brisco will shadow Kris, the lead trainer, who will mentor him in his K9 protection development. By the end of the program, Brisco is expected to emerge as a well-trained protection dog, ready to protect his handler while remaining calm in public. We are excited to see where his life will take him and what a fantastic family he will become a member of.

Big thanks to for finding us this one-of-a-kind guy.
