Q: Why should I not buy a sport dog over a family protection dog?

The reason you shouldn’t buy a sport dog over a family protection dog is because sport dogs aren’t trained in real life situations. They are trained in a field in a marshmallow puffy suit. The guy breaking into your home will not be in a field or wearing a marshmallow suit. These dogs do the same drills everyday in order to perfect these same drills for a perfect score. These dogs have no interest in biting or going after a person or even understand the fundamentals of what a threat is.

Q: What’s the difference between a family protection dog and a sport dog?

Our family protection dogs start training at a very young age. They are raised inside a home with kids, guests, other animals and brought up being socialized daily. Our family protection dogs are trained with two very important protection commands. One is a guard command and one is an attack command. A sport dog is taken out of a kennel and trained as a robot in a field to run the same drill every day.

Q: What’s the difference between a family protection dog, a guard dog and a personal protection dog?

A family protection dog is a stable dog that is good with kids, strangers, guests and anyone else he encounters in a social environment. The dog must also know the difference between what threat and what isn’t a threat. A guard dog is a dog that is not socialized and placed in a house or environment to bark and detour anyone or anything that comes. A personal protection dog is a dog that’s good with one person. Typically not good with big families or kids. Also not good with guests coming in and out of your house.

Q: Why do we only have a couple protection dogs available at a time?

Here at Fine Line Family K9 we believe it is best to raise our dogs in our home with our family. There is no way to guarantee you get a family safe house trained dog by it being raised with 10 other dogs in a kennel. We like to focus and be hands on with our protection dogs up until their placement into their new home. To ensure these dogs get 100% of our attention, less is more.
