Ever thought your dog would make a great personal protection dog? Before you buy a bite sleeve or start training for defense, this episode is a must-listen.
Anna from Safehouse K9 breaks down what most people don’t realize about protection work—from the rare genetics required to the level of leadership and obedience needed before bite work even begins. You’ll learn why most dogs—and handlers—aren’t ready for this type of work yet, and what to focus on instead if you want a dog who can confidently have your back in real life.
Whether you're a working dog enthusiast, a Cane Corso owner, or just curious about what it takes to build a protection dog from the ground up, this episode offers a grounded, honest look at the real requirements—and the real risks.
💡 What you’ll learn:
Why stable temperament and genetics matter more than size or breed
How your home environment affects your dog’s suitability for protection work
What level of obedience and leadership is required before bite work
Why protection training is not a shortcut—and what to do instead
