Raise The PERFECT Puppy!
While this online puppy training audio/video series is specifically designed for puppies that will later be used for
personal or family protection work, the principles and practices used apply for anyone wanting to raise an obedient and well behaved dog. In this series I primarily use leash and collar for most training, keeping treats and other training tools to a bare minimum.

Raising and training your family protection puppy is not the same as raising and training a sport or police dog. As owners of family guardian dogs, we want to start out with the right training philosophy and methods specific to family protection dogs.
Below is a list of videos and podcasts covering all the basics of starting out right with your young puppy. This training takes your dog from eight weeks, up until six months old. From there I have a series of videos and audio podcasts covering obedience training for dogs six months and older.
