What makes a real protection dog

Before you look at any dog, watch this. Rui Navarro explains why most of the "protection dogs" sold abroad are sport dogs dressed up as protection dogs.

Sport training and real protection are not the same thing. Knowing the difference is the first step to choosing the right dog for your family.

The Real Defense Protocol

How we train protection dogs: for real life, not sport

Sport programs teach dogs to target sleeves and equipment. The Real Defense Protocol prepares a personal protection dog to recognize and respond to real human threats. The dog stays stable, controlled and safe around your family.

Absolute discretion

Why every TYR placement stays private

What we guard stays behind the door. Many protection dog companies are loud. They film their clients’ homes and handovers, and they publish testimonials. The families we work with value their privacy too much for that. TYR works like a private bank. Every placement is discreet and starts with a private consultation.

01
No cameras at your home
We never film or photograph our clients, their homes or their handovers.
02
No public testimonials
You will not find our clients’ names or faces on YouTube or on this website.
03
Confidential by default
Your enquiry and your dog’s placement stay between you and us.

Asked in private

Protection dogs for sale: your questions

How much does a protection dog cost at TYR?

Our fully trained protection dogs start from $20,000. Each dog is priced individually, and hand delivery to your home, with a handover of at least 2 days, is included in the price.

What breed are your protection dogs?

The protection dogs we offer are German Shepherds, trained with our Real Defense Protocol and raised in our family home.

Are TYR dogs safe with children?

Our dogs are raised in a real home with Rui and Sandra. They are stable around children, guests and other animals, and they can still respond when a real threat appears.

How is this different from a sport dog?

Sport programs teach dogs to target equipment such as sleeves. The Real Defense Protocol prepares dogs to recognize and respond to real human threats. Every dog also has an immediate off-switch on a verbal command.

Do you deliver to the USA?

Yes. We deliver to all 50 states and anywhere in the world, and we have delivered dogs to more than 30 countries. One of our trainers travels with the dog and hands it over at your home.

How long does it take to get my dog?

If the dog you choose is ready, it travels in about 15 days. If it is still in training, it takes longer. Rui tells you which case applies when you choose.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes. Every dog comes with a health and training guarantee. The dog does what we agreed it would do, and that is backed by a contract.

Why don’t you show client testimonials?

The families we work with value their privacy. We never film their homes or handovers, and we never publish their names. The proof is in the dogs and in the method.
