About Canine Protection International

Since 1994, Canine Protection International has built its reputation as the original family and estate protection dog company, placing fully trained protection dogs with private clients across the United States. CPI dogs are selected for stable temperament, real protection capability, and the ability to live naturally inside the home with children, guests, staff, and daily family routines. Each placement begins with a private consultation to understand the household, lifestyle, property, and level of protection needed before recommending the right dog. The result is not a traditional guard dog, but a composed, capable family protection dog that belongs in life it protects.

My husband and I recently purchased Max (previously Bazzi) from CPI. I reached out to Alex and from our very first call I knew we were in good hands. Alex was knowledgeable, professional and passionate about finding the right dog for our family. We have a 9 year old daughter and our first priority was finding a dog who is gentle and loving with children. We have two Yorkies and also needed a dog who would pair well with the two fur babies. As a stay at home Mom, I wanted a dog who is quiet in the house but who could serve as a fierce protector at all times as my husband travels frequently. After Alex paired us with Max, he kept in wonderful communication while Max was in training. We visited his facility and found it to be immaculate, spacious and most importantly we were able to witness all of the dogs being so well cared for and it showed in their personalities and dispositions. Abbi is a remarkable and gifted trainer and we will be forever grateful for the time that she invested with Max. Upon Max’s delivery, Alex stayed for 3 full days and educated us on how to functionally handle Max, learn his language and assimilate him into our family. He was a gentlemen from the moment he walked in the door. We did things that we regularly do with our family: took neighborhood walks, went to the coffee shop, walked around downtown and made sure Max was comfortable taking rides in our car and in our golf cart. The coolest part was watching our daughter and Max work as a team. His obedience is so functional that our 9 year old was in complete control and never had to use force or raise her voice for Max to execute her commands. Max loves to be loved and he naturally wants to please. He is a 75 pound angel who is a part of our forever family and we can not imagine life without him now. Without hesitation, I highly recommend CPI to anyone who is serious about adding a loving and gentle protector into your home or business. Alex and Abbi are not only the best in their field, they are kind, honest and hard working people. We look forward to the day when Max and the Yorkies will have another sibling from CPI.

I sent my dogs to CPI as fully grown adults, not expecting much due to their age. However, after completing the training, I found myself with entirely transformed animals. The level of discipline and training exceeded all expectations. I now trust them completely around my two-year-old daughter, just as I trust their new skills to protect my family from potential threats. What truly sets CPI apart is their dedication and expertise. The dog-and-owner training team are passionate professionals who clearly love and excel at what they do.

There are no better canines available. After investing in this animal you will be sitting on the floor with your dinner while this fur machine masticates meatballs at the dinner table like a proper gentleman. I have seen many police dogs being trained, the dogs at CPI are far and away superior in a manner that makes them seem like a different species altogether.

I got my first purebred Czech German Shepherd, Aria, from Alex at CPI, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Aria is by far the smartest dog I’ve ever owned—and I’ve had many! She’s a perfect example of the breed, and even my trainer, with over 20 years of experience, has been blown away by her lineage and temperament. The entire process with Alex and CPI was amazing. I was set on getting a female, which required waiting for a new litter, but Alex never gave up on me. He guided me every step of the way to ensure I found the perfect pup, and his dedication truly stood out. Training Aria daily and working with my trainer weekly has been such a rewarding experience. I’m beyond thrilled with my decision to go with CPI and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-quality dog and exceptional service. Thank you, Alex, for everything!
