Protection Sports & Personal Protection Training

I train dogs for real protection and sports by testing them in tough, everyday scenarios so they stay calm, controlled, and ready to act when needed.

About Protection Sports & Personal Protection Training
What I'm All About
Dogs are my life, and I take pride in building tough, reliable protection dogs. For me, it's all about testing and training so they get confident, not fearful. I follow the simple rule – test hard, train harder. You'll hear me say shabash (well done) when your dog nails it.
My Approach to Protection Sports
I’m fully involved in PSA dog trials India, always learning and competing. My American Pitbull, Thor, was the first in India to clear the PSA PDC on a full bite suit. That moment felt bahut badhiya (very good), proving what’s possible with the right guidance.
Training isn’t just about aggression. I focus on:
- Precision obedience under pressure
- Solid grip and dog bite training from puppyhood
- Courage tests and reliable release commands (the 'Out')
- Scenario-based protection dog training in fields, at night, wherever real threats might happen
Personal Protection & Real-World Prep
If you want a dog that protects your family, I train for reality. That means working in different places, with loud noises, and unpredictable situations. The dog learns to stay calm, controlled, and ready to act, but never out of control.
Building a Strong, Fit Dog
A protection dog must be an athlete. We do conditioning, agility, and all the basics so your dog’s body matches its mind. With me, your dog gets plenty of praise and tough love, but nothing harsh. Just straight-up, honest training.
