A protection dog that can live in New York City
In New York the test is not the backyard, it is the elevator, the doorman, the delivery driver and the crowded sidewalk. A dog that reacts to every stranger cannot live here.
Our dogs are trained to stay neutral with the people around you and to focus on you. That calm is what lets them respond, with full commitment, when a real threat appears.
If your family also has a house in Westchester, on Long Island or upstate, the same dog moves between the city and the country with you.
Delivery and price

Questions
Protection dogs in New York: your questions
Do I need to register a protection dog in New York City?
The NYC Health Code has a registration for trained guard dogs, and every dog needs a city license. Call 311 before your dog arrives and ask how the guard dog rule applies to your dog.
Can a German Shepherd live in a Manhattan apartment?
Yes, if it gets daily exercise and time with you. What matters most in the city is calm and control, and that is what we train first.
Will the handover happen in our apartment?
Yes. Our trainer works with you at home and on your usual walks, for at least 2 days, until you handle the dog with confidence.
Is our purchase kept private?
Yes. We never film or photograph our clients, their homes or their handovers, and we never publish client names.
