Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Deterrent Dogs LLc different from other protection dog companies?
Most companies either import canines and resell them or train large numbers at once. We do neither. Deterrent Dogs LLc focuses on one principle: quality over quantity. Every K9 we advertise is physically located in the United States and you can meet them before making a decision. We import exceptional European working bloodlines from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Germany, but we complete all specialized protection training in the US. We don’t produce protection dogs in bulk. Each dog is chosen, assessed, and developed individually. Jan personally evaluates temperament, nerve strength, work ethic, and stability before accepting any dog into our program. Our background includes European championship competitions, certified decoy experience, and training for law enforcement agencies. This foundation allows us to develop real-world protection dogs, not sport dogs that are repurposed for sales. We build protection dogs that can live safely in your home, fit in with your family, and perform reliably when it matters.
What breed makes the best guard dog?
We focus on German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois protection dogs because these two breeds consistently excel in real-world personal and family protection. Both breeds have a long history in military, police, and high-level working roles. They have the intelligence, nerve strength, athleticism, and drive needed for serious security work. Just as importantly, they can form strong bonds with their families.
Families often prefer German Shepherds for their balanced and versatile nature. They blend strong protective instincts with stability and composure in daily life. When trained correctly, they are confident, observant, and reliable without being overly reactive.
Belgian Malinois are usually driven and highly focused. They are very quick, agile, and responsive, which makes them great for clients looking for an engaged protection partner with strong environmental awareness.
While we sometimes assess other working breeds, we are choosy. Not every canine, or bloodline, is fit for functional protection. Our program focuses only on dogs with proven genetics, stable temperaments, and the physical ability to meet the demands of advanced protection training. By specializing in these breeds, we ensure consistency, reliability, and long-term performance for our clients.
Are your guard dogs safe around children and other pets?
Yes, this is one of the most important parts of our program. Our protection dogs are not raised in isolation. Many are developed inside our home, around our children, a house cat, and smaller dogs. They experience real family life from an early age. We focus heavily on stability, neutrality, and impulse control. A true family protection dog must know when to act and when to relax. Our K9’s are trained to fit into the household calmly and respectfully. Protection is activated on command or in clear threat situations. Otherwise, they behave like well-mannered companions.
How old are your fully-trained security dogs?
Our protection K9’s are typically between 2 and 4 years old, depending on their level of training and development. By the time a dog is ready for placement, it has completed thorough obedience training, practical protection work, and environmental conditioning to ensure reliability and control. This level of development takes time. We only offer fully trained adult protection dogs because we want to provide a dependable, stable partner.
How much does a protection dog cost?
Pricing varies based on training level, bloodline, age, and specialization.
A trained Family Protection Dog starts at $65,000. This reflects the extensive training, socialization, and individualized selection process involved. The demand for these canines is driven by a range of clients, including those with demanding lifestyles, frequent travelers, and individuals seeking enhanced estate security.
Executive Protection Dogs start at $175,000 and represent a fusion of distinctive appearance and exceptional performance capabilities. Their unique attributes contribute to their rarity and exclusivity. These dogs offer an unparalleled level of protection, characterized not only by their above-average size or breed but also by their exceptional protective instincts.
Do you offer puppies?
We do not sell puppies. Trained protection dogs need maturity, stability, and thorough training. A young puppy has not yet developed the right temperament, exposure to different environments, or obedience required for real-world personal or family protection.
Can I change my protection dog’s name?
Yes, you can! Our fully trained protection dogs quickly adjust to a new name without any problems. A canine’s name is just a verbal cue. Since our dogs are highly trained and focused on their handlers, they respond more to tone, structure, and consistency than to a specific word. During the transition period, we help you learn how to introduce the new name properly. In most cases, the adjustment happens within a short time of consistent use. The dog continues to respond reliably to obedience and protection commands throughout the process. What matters most is the relationship you build and how clearly you communicate, not the original name. We want your protection dog to feel like part of your family, so choosing a name that fits your home and lifestyle is important.

“We were fortunate enough to get our Aussie trained through Vannessa and that’s how we found out about Deterrent Dogs. We got our beautiful female German Shepherd through Deterrent Dogs and couldn’t be happier. She has a great disposition, amazing lineage, and the process of getting her was stress-free. I would highly recommend Deterrent Dogs ✨”
Stefanie T.
“I purchased my GSD, Lord, from Deterrent Dogs and I’m so glad I did. Every day I tell myself I have the best dog in the world. He’s social with people, is very affectionate with me when we’re alone, and goes with me to coffee shops where he simply lays down and relaxes while I’m there. I purchased Obedience level training since I work FT and knew I didn’t have the capacity to take on a raw 8 week old puppy. I would definitely purchase another GSD from Vanessa again.”
Louis C.
“Dogs of excellent quality- confident, intelligent, ,so easy to train. I had one week to potty train, crate train, loose leash walk, recall, they absorbed in a few tries and asked for more. I was impressed and now believe that good lines and breeding REALLY matters. Btw Vanessa and Jan are fabulous people to deal with 😊.”
