We recently purchased an adult protection dog from them. A Belgian Malinois. I am a green handler of a dog of this caliber. Family Protection Dogs drove what had to be 12 hours one way to hand deliver the dog and spent half a day working with me and educating me on properly handling the dog. They have been great at answering my questions after the sale.
![](https://familyprotectiondogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/4.png)
The best of the best!! We had our Malinois not even a month and we purchased a second dog from them! The quality of training is unlike any other. While they are your protectors these pups are the best family dogs ever. I sleep knowing that all is well! They are truly the dog whisperers!! Valiant dogs ready to protect but at the same time they are mans best friend!! Thank you Family Protection Dogs!! You’re the best!!

I purchased Snoop (German Shepherd) back in May 2017, and he’s been everything ( i was promised about) and then some. His obedience and protection is phenomenal. He is very social around family and children, but can be very protective when I need him to be. Keep up the great work guys, and thank you for all back up support you provided. Might need one more soon.

September 26, 2021I took my 2 year old dog Cider to Family Protection Dogs and I could not be happier with the results! I have way more control over my dog than... read more I have ever had before. She is still her same goofy self, but obedient. I was starting to feel so stressed out and hopeless when it came to training my dog and having her listen to me and Family Protection Dogs solved all of those problems. They also make sure your fur baby is having a great time while they are away! Cider was always jumping in the pool and playing with the other dogs! I highly recommend Family Protection Dogs!

I have a Cane Corso (Italian Mastiff if you don’t know the breed) that he is now 2yo. As you can realize is a large breed. Bjørn (my dog) start... read more getting out of control, teenager stage I called it lol. My dog was chewing everything from shoes to furniture whatever he wanted. Then he started to get more and more interested in dogs and people to the point he wouldn’t listen to me at all. At home I couldn’t have guest because he wouldn’t stay calm. He would jump on people and well imaging a 120 pounds (at that time) coming right on you lol. The fact that I didn’t have the extra time to work on my dog made it even more difficult. Then I found Family Protection Dogs and well my life changed, yes it did. I sent Bjørn for the obedience program and he went for his 21 days of training. I’m one of those crazy dog parents that protects and care my dog more than a normal person. So sending him away for 3 weeks was a hard decision. That’s when I met Arianna, we texted and talked for days and I did every single question I could possibly had. She answered every single one of them and made me feel better about giving them my dog. While Bjørn was at training with them I was updated everyday of his progress and how he was doing: eating, playing and having a good time. I have to say having constant communication with the trainers and following the progress on their Instagram made the situation pleasant and out of worry. Bjørn came back to me and they went through the new commands and trying with me to ensure I was going to follow training him. He’s back home and wow I got a new dog completely. Behaved as never did, listening to the commands in public and not paying attention to dogs and people. Then I realized I made the right decision. Now Bjørn hasn’t chew a single thing at home. He doesn’t jump on people and one of my favorites is the “place” command. He stays in his bed when I send him to so I have guests now and he doesn’t move from pace until I release him. Also they don’t just did the training they keep communication with me to check in Bjørn and how’s he doing, that’s really nice. Remember the magic is not just sending the dog for training. That’s just the one part while the second part is YOU. You gotta keep trining and practicing with your dog everyday to ensure he stays on point in his new behavior. I often go for the Saturday class now to practice with Bjørn and get extra help from Arianna when I’m not sure if I am doing something right or just for a feedback in my training with him. These people are amazing I couldn’t be more happy of their work. Really professional trainers I have nothing else to say but get your dog right and send it for training at Family Protection Dogs Family k-9. Arianna, girl you rock!! If any of you wants to send me message to get through my customer experience with them and show you how my dog behaves now, don’t hesitate to do it.

September 26, 2021Our son, Andy was lucky enough to have won a service dog from Family Protection Dogs. We do believe they couldn’t have picked a better match as he is... read more a PERFECT match with Andy. Radar is being trained at home now for Andy’s specific disabilities and is making great progress. He has been trained for ptsd and balance and is making such a difference in our sons life with more independence and companionship. Andy is so excited and HAPPY to have him. His trainer, Shannon, is absolutely AMAZING, very kind and KNOWLEDGEABLE. We have been so amazed at how well behaved and trained Radar is out in pubic and since he is a service dog and goes everywhere with Andy that is of utmost importance. We could never repay Family Protection Dogs for what they have done for our son. Family Protection Dogs has become part of our family and we look forward to our ongoing relationship with all of them.

September 26, 2020My Chocolate Lab Harley was beyond energetic and had a serious case of CCD. (Canine Compulsive Disorder.) He would chase any reflection and be fixated on it for hours after... read more it was no longer there. This made him bark a lot, scratch at things, and even hurt himself running around in the process- hence the CCD part. We had resulted to a shock collar until a friend of mine recommended Family Protection Dogs when he was shy of age 2. It was a huge change for him! I can honestly say this was the best decision for my fur child. The structure they have in portraying discipline in the dogs they work with is amazing. I highly recommend the Family Protection Dogs Family for dog training! It made a huge change in just a few weeks training and guided me into what to do to continue his discipline at home. Made him a great Family dog with my girls and guard dog in our home. He was taught the perfect balance.

Family Protection Dogs deserves 10 stars. I want to thank Arianna, Our Trainers, Kennedy and the rest of the staff for taking care of my little lady, Maeve, during her... read more 9 week stay. I'm more than impressed with her behavior, discipline and response to her commands. They have turned my dog into the best possible version of her self. I highly recommend you bring your dog to these fine people. I put Maeve through the 6 week obedience and protection training. This was the best decision I've made in my life. Our Trainers and Arianna are very responsive and knowledgeable. I have retained more knowledge from a 5 minute conversation with those 2 than the dozens of books I've read about the German Shepherd. The overall care and end result is through the roof. Thank you for taking my good dog and sending her off a great dog. I'm a life long customer to Family Protection Dogs!

September 26, 2021I was searching for your new forever partner to explore the mountains of Washington with myself and my horse as we go alone often. I also wanted a dog that... read more would protect my family and I, but still be a great family dog and enjoy all of our traveling and camping with friends & family. I also suffer from extreme anxiety and one of the dog that would be able to go with me everywhere and behave. I wanted one that had already been started and has a good mind, night not an adult. Then they showed me Atlas... It was love at first sight! Long story short, I got on a plane from Washington and landed in Florida, got a little bit of rest and the next morning he was brought to me. About an hour later I was on an airplane, flying with him in cabin, headed home. He behaved amazingly through the airport, sit stay while I went through the metal detector and then recalled him through the metal detector himself, and slept in the cabin like a baby. Since being home we are inseparable. He goes absolutely everywhere with me and I literally could not be happier. Ariana and Our Trainers have been there for any questions (and trust me, I have A LOT) LOL that I might have and I would honestly never buy a dog or have one trained from any other company ever again. With all of this said, my atlas is only 8 months old! Talk about professionalism and quality training at its best.

We will absolutely be back with all our future rescues! Highly recommended

September 26, 2021First and most important, this is hands-down the absolute best place to bring your dog. They are family owned and operated so that right there tells you they’re about the... read more dog learning and being part of the family. When I brought Diesel I was very concerned that he would not be able to learn obedience (he was wild and didn’t listen)even though he was 4 months old, they assured me that it can all be corrected.. and I will tell you it has only been a 2 days since I picked him up and WOW and from the first 5 minutes of being there and them showing me how to command my dog he is definitely 100% improved. If you or someone you know needs any type of training for ur dog don’t waste your time on going anywhere else. You will not be disappointed with the results. This is and will always be the top for dog training. To the family at Family Protection Dogs K-9, Diesel and I thank you so much

We feel so fortunate to have found Our Trainers and Ariana in our search for a family protection dog. First and foremost, with four children, we wanted a dog... read more that could be a part of our family. Living in California, I have to say that I didn't think getting a dog from Florida would be the most geographically desirable but Our Trainers not only made it work for us, he spent quite some time on the phone with me, educating me on the different types of dogs and trainings. He didn't try to sell me a dog but simply wanted to help me know what to look for. After speaking with several "protection dog" trainers/companies, I knew that Our Trainers had what we wanted and needed. He listened to what was important to us and matched us with the perfect dog. Communication is so important and Our Trainers has been extremely accessible; before, during and after our purchase. Not only did we buy a dog from Family Protection Dogs, we also received a bonus with their superior customer service. I am confident that if I have any questions or concerns, I could pick up the phone at any time and they will be there. Our Trainers's responsiveness is extraordinary and we couldn't be happier with our dog, Tasha, or their team. We would highly recommend Family Protection Dogs, and when the time is right, we will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you for matching us with the perfect fit!

September 26, 2020I can’t tell you what a relief it’s been to have my dog fully trained by Family Protection Dogs. Before she was trained, it was so stressful to take her... read more anywhere with me. She would bark at other dogs and pull on the leash, giving me rope burns! Now I can bring her everywhere and she gets compliments every time I go out! I’m so impressed with Family Protection Dogs!! 10/10 recommend to everyone with a dog!!

If I could give a higher review than 5 stars I would! I sent my high spirited silver lab puppy "Blue" there at 3 1/2 months for Our Trainers to... read more train to leash walk, not bite, crate train, stay in place and be well behaved and socialized so I could take him out and also to work with me. It was a tall order. I trusted Our Trainers, respected the space & time he needed to train Blue and when I picked him up Blue had been transformed by Our Trainers into my dream companion dog! I can't say enough about how well Blue was treated there, making friends with the other dogs in training, and how giving him over to Family Protection Dogs has turned Blue into a wonderful dog and my new best friend. I was once worried that Blue was just too much for me and now he's my shadow and so awesome to be with. Our Trainers truly does perform dog miracles! Thank you Our Trainers! And thank you Ariana for so nicely posting Instagram photos so I could see how Blue was doing. And I appreciate the great training you gave ME when I picked up Blue! Family Protection Dogs is the best!!

September 26, 2020My wife and I took our 6 month old American Bully King, we did a lot of research on training reached out to many private trainers and training facilities but... read more no one gave us the piece of mind and straight up answers like Family Protection Dogs. They were very honest with me on how the training would go and what it would consist of. We weren't expecting miracles but they equipped my dog with the understanding of what we were needing and expecting from him and gave us the proper tools to continue to polish and work on what he was taught. When we picked him up and how he has been responding at home has exceeded all of our expectations. Thank Family Protection Dogs so much for helping us with our fury baby, I would definitely use you again for my future dogs and we would also recommend you every chance we get. Also to the young man (Austin) that we dropped and picked up King from he is phenomenal, attentive, respectfu, professional and so informative and most of all he was great with King. You helped ease the process for me and my family of releasing our baby over to people who we did not know - thank you!!! You should an example to your entire team.

September 26, 2021It is with great confidence, that I am writing a review for Family Protection Dogs. Our Trainer Shannon took on the task of not just training one of our puppies... read more but both at the same time and they were a week apart in age. She came to our home several days a week and took on my Golden Doodles Finn and Annie. Every time, she knocked on the door they were so excited to see her and learn more from her, week after week. Training takes time, effort on all our parts, it is not just the Trainers job it is the what we continue to do with what she has taught us and the doggies. We saw weekly success with our Fur-babies during and after. By the time they graduated we were getting compliments weekly on Shannon, their behavior and how much they had learned. To this day, I just recently had a neighbor ask if they could have her Training information "the neighbor said Finn and Annie are so well behaved" and as their parents it just makes you smile and proudly pass on her information for the next family. Shannon we are always so grateful for your time, lessons and YOU are always like family to us. Come see us soon!
