Executive Dogs vs Guard Dogs
Roger Richards, the Director of Toronto K9 Center notes that too many people do not realize that guard dogs and personal protection dogs are two different animals. This leads many executives into buying the wrong type of dog for their protection. One must understand that protection dogs act quite different due to the fact that they are specifically trained, and raised very differently from guard dogs.

Breeds
One can train almost any type of dog to be a guard dog, but when it comes to protection dogs, only a few breeds can actually be properly trained due to their required intelligence. When one looks at the requirements of an executive protection dog, it needs to have the proper discipline, temperament and above all loyalty in its inherited genes.
Training
Protection dog and guard dog training follow two completely different training guidelines. Guard dogs are trained basically remain in a certain location and to alert the handler of any intruder, while at the same time reacting on their own and attacking any intruder that enters their zone and neutralizing the threat. Protection dogs on the other hand are trained with the utmost obedience and loyalty and will act upon your command. Lets not forget that there is a limit to a protection dog waiting for a command. If the protection dog sees his owner under attack, they will react on their own and protect you at all costs to their own lives. Properly trained protection dogs are much less likely to attack or bite someone due to their specific obedience training. In comparison, guard dogs are always on the edge and ready to attack if their territory is breached.

Personality
With the proper selection of a protection dog by an experienced trainer, executive protection dogs not only protect you from kidnappings, carjacking and many other types of threats, but they can also be part of your family. These dogs are trained to know that no one in your family is a threat. In fact it is more likely that your other family dog is more likely to bite a family member than a protection dog due to their training. As you can see a trained guard that is always sitting on the edge of the fence per say and ready to pounce is not the proper dog for protection.

Recap
Executive protection dogs are a serious investment that are not only able to protect you at your office if need be or in your travels by air, car, or boat, but they can also be a loving family member that also protects your whole family.

Reliable – Obedient Dogs
Our dogs are hand selected and undergo an enormous amount of training, that is imprinted and based on real world situations. Our dogs are trained to your specific requirements, readying the dog to endow a sense of security to you whether you are at home, office or travelling abroad.
Toronto K9 Center’s Executive Dogs are well trained, socialized, loyal, and unerringly obedient. They will not attack unless their owners are facing a threat or have commanded an attack. Some breeds are better than others when it comes to this type of training, since it requires strength, calmness, loyalty, a love of humans, and a highly developed intelligence.
Dogs trained to protect and attack are trained to bite on command, as well as to stop biting on command. Unfortunately, some dogs are not properly trained and instead end up inflicting fear and brutality on others. Of course, this creates a dog that is capable of attacking unsuspecting people or animals without warning or cause. Toronto K9 Center’s coursed and experienced trainer do not allow any dog to leave their training regiment with this type of behavior both under their handling or the executive owners’.

Dogs – The Natural Weapon
There is no doubt that guard dogs act as effective deterrents to criminals. They say a dogs bark is worse than its bite, but even in this case, the dog will still provide a foreseeable threat of physical damage with their load growls, rigid jaws and sharp teeth and claws. Trained dogs are in top physical condition, look and sound quite intimidating, and can out run most anyone. Trying to outrun a trained security dog is futile, since the dog will awaken the dogs suspicions and increasing their aggression even more, causing them to run even faster. Guard dogs are trained to protect an area with a simple bark, attack intruders without supervision if on their own, or go to the extreme of killing on command.


Guard Dog – Security Levels
Guard dogs as we have mentioned before are working dogs and not pets. Guard dog Training at Toronto K9 Center can be classified into 3 categories of security depending on the person or agencies requirements. These being Watch Dogs, Sentry Dogs and Attack Dogs.
