Clients say

Zeus - Belgian Sheperd
"I'm a professional athlete who travels extensively for competitions and events. As someone who values their safety and security, I needed a working dog that could provide me with the protection and peace of mind I needed when travelling. That's why I decided to purchase an elite personal protection dog from this company. Zeus, the Belgian Shepherd I bought from you guys, is really well-trained and has an unbelievable temperament. He's calm and composed when he's by my side, but can quickly and efficiently respond to any potential threats. The training team at The Dog Guy Family Protection Dogs was phenomenal - they worked closely with me to understand my specific needs and requirements and matched me with the perfect dog. The aftercare and support I received were also fantastic - I know that I can always count on them if I need any additional training or assistance. Zeus has become an essential part of my life and has given me the confidence and peace of mind I need when I'm on the road."

Diesel - Doberman
"My family and I recently purchased an elite family protection dog from The Dog Guy Family Protection Dogs, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Our Doberman, Diesel, is an incredible addition to our home. He's loving and gentle with our kids and has a fantastic temperament around other pets, including our cats. We were amazed at how well-trained he was when we brought him home, and the support we received from the company was second to none. We received intensive handover training and continue to receive ongoing support and aftercare. We feel confident that Diesel will keep our family safe, and he's already become a beloved member of our family. Thank you for everything!"
