Personal Protection dogs

I know we have already discussed the rights/wrongs of owning PP dogs but what I would like to know now is whether the reputable companies do regular refresher training for dogs and handlers?

I know that a new owner gets a few days training in how to handle their new dog, but would also like to know how the company go about discerning whether a particular prospective new client is a suitable dog owner/handler - especially of what are usually large and powerful breeds, or whether it is just a case of money talks

Also, is any extra refresher training in the original price or do you pay for top ups?

If anyone has experience of pp dogs I would love to know.

do you mean the people selling the dogs or security companys and their staff??

I would hope that refresher courses are part of the contract - because PP dogs, perhaps more than most, need to make sure their training is top notch - there can be little room for mistakes imo.

we meet a supposedly PP cane corso ( the owner loves to tell us this) can they never be let off the lead? have to admit i never heard such a thing existed till i met this guy.

Not sure what you mean? Perhaps if you rephrased your question?

I would hope so too Azz - think I may send A1K9 an email and find out all the answers.

The fact it cannot be let off the lead would definitely indicate that this dog is definitely NOT a pp dog ... or certainly not one from a reputable company

i guessed as much typical tough nut owns it has threaten a few of us with his pp dog

Hmmm yes, another indication I would say that this person is talking bull

I guess if I'm ever out with Rue and run into something dodgy, I could tell them she is an ex-PP dog. Well, we don't know for sure - she could easily be ex-services in one form or another!

Or....

I know what you're thinking. "Did she bark six times or only five?"
Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a 4 point 4 year old Malinois, the most powerful hard dog in the world, and would chew your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky?
Well, do ya, punk?

My idea of perfect pp dogs are Zeus and apollo the dobes from the tv show Magnum..lol
