Reading a trained protection dog ad

The word is everywhere and the standard behind it is nowhere.

Start with control

Utah makes an owner or keeper liable for a dog's injury even the first time. Dependable obedience beats any title.

Levels of readiness

  • Good house manners with a recall that holds.
  • Calm in public beside traffic and strange dogs.
  • Protection work guided by a qualified trainer.
  • A demonstration you attended in person.

Reasonable requests

Request a live demonstration, written training history and a past buyer you can call.

Promises to question

Nobody can guarantee how a living animal will behave. Treat a flat promise as a reason to ask more.
