There is nothing more sacred to most than the protection of themselves and their loved ones. In a world where incidents of unrest and crime seem to constantly dominate our new feeds, it is no surprise that many individuals are looking for the best means to create a safe environment while at home or out and about.
When people think about securing their homes and lives, their minds often turn to firearms and home security systems, but a new trend in safety, personal protection dogs, is gaining momentum. For years, these highly trained K9s have been a staple in police and military operations. Now, there are trainers focused on pairing families with personal protection dogs for family focused use.
If you are considering such a purchase to protect those closest to you, take a moment to read our guide to the top 3 reasons you may benefit from a personal protection dog.
1. They are safer and more effective than firearms or security systems
Personal protection K9s are trained to provide threatening intimidation and non-deadly force to eliminate a dangerous threat, while still being a great and loving family member to children and adults alike. These highly trained dogs are preferable to guns for several reasons.
First, using a firearm effectively requires time and training. Those looking to use a gun for self-defense must keep in continual practice to keep their skills sharp. Secondly, guns are responsible for thousands of accidental injuries or deaths annually. A trained K9 will not accidentally harm or kill an individual. Finally, if you choose to buy a gun and conceal it, you lose the deterrent effect that it can have on a potential perpetrator. Personal protection dogs are trained to deter a threat with their body language and bark at all times.
When it comes to being better than a security system, these K9s can often sense and alert you to an intruder before they even enter your home or get near you. In addition, unlike a blaring alarm, a personal protection dog can physically neutralize the threat.
2. They are trained to catch and detain the offender
A personal protection dog is trained to chase down a threat and detain them in a non-lethal way while the authorities are alerted and can arrive. These dogs will keep you secure, and once word gets out about your K9 protection agent, no one will be wanting to bother you or your property.
3. They should be a great family companion
The sense of safety and security provided by a personal protection dog is priceless for you and your family. However, they don’t only serve this purpose. These four legged companions are loving family members. Personal protection dogs are trained to attack threats, but as their family, you will be one of their pack. These dogs will be incredibly loyal and affectionate to your family until their dying day.
We believe that personal protection dogs are a fantastic and effective protection alternative to consider for your family in these unstable times.
