Bob Smith's K9 Association

As a business owner that travels often, it was important that I get a protection dog for my family to watch over the home when I leave on business trips. I looked into buying a trained dog. These trained protection dogs cost anywhere from $30,000-$70,000. However, I was concerned that the trained dog wouldn't listen to me, as it was trained by another handler. I visited bob and he helped me get a puppy and also provided me with a training package that was a 1/10th of the cost of a trained protection dog. I've never been very good with dogs or had never been through basic obedience training with a dog. But after 4 months of going to Bob's training, my dog... 1) walks on leash without pulling 2) walks off leash 3) knows all obedience commands 4) stays out of certain areas of our home 5) PROTECTS MY FAMILY AT ALL COSTS He didn't train the dog. He trained me to train the dog... And now.. I can rest assured that my family is safe with my protection trained dog at our home. Any unusual noise in the home, and my dog will check every potential entry point that an intruder would use to enter the home. Now, some people say that Bob's techniques are "harsh" with the use of a slip collar and e-collar, but these protection dogs are beasts. They have the ability to severely injure anyone. As almost any large breed dog can do. It is my responsibility as an owner of a large breed dog to ensure that I am able to control this dog at all times. And if my dog needs to be shocked so that I remain in full control, then that's the way it has to be. I also cannot risk the liability of having an uncontrollable dog that can cause me financial hardship if I lose control of him. You can go to another trainer that only uses positive reinforcement, but when that dog bites somebody or you lose control... You'll be coming to Bob to fix the issue.
