Them: Trained protection dogs are always vicious and scary.
Us: You couldn’t be any more wrong about that.
Here’s our protection trained dog, Mash, giving all the hugs and cuddles you could want! 💜
Protection dogs know when they need to turn it on (protection mode) and when they can turn it off. These pups can be just as sweet and affectionate as your “regular” house dog.

All types of working dogs exist!!!
Good friends of ours are vacationing in Italy and, today, they decided to do a Truffle Hunt excursion at Savini Tartufi.
Where do the working dogs come into play? I’ll tell you!
The dogs are in charge of sniffing out the truffles (which is known as tracking). When they smell the truffle underground, they signal to the hunter they’ve found what they’re looking for. Every dog signals the hunter in a different way. With this particular group of working dogs—one laid down, one wagged its tail, and one dog dug for the truffle himself. After being alerted to the truffle, the hunter digs the truffle out and then rewards the dogs.
How cool is this?!?! See, it’s not all bite work and obedience 😉

Tuesday Night Protection Work With Luca.
First time doing this exercise with Luca and he nailed it. We tested Luca with an active moving threat, that he was not allowed to confront until Kelly gave him the command to do so. This is an incredibly hard exercise to do. As you can see, he focused on Kelly, then on the threat, then Kelly, etc. He wanted nothing more than to attack the threat, but knew he could not do so until told by Kelly.
This is control work at its finest!

What’s more important than the bite?
THE CONTROL! The control you have with your dog is by far the most important aspect of protection work.
How do you get control?
OBEDIENCE! At MetroK9, a huge part of our protection work involves obedience. It’s the key to having a successful protection dog.
Reach out to us today if you need assistance with getting your dog under control and more obedient.
