🐾 Step-by-Step: Your Delivery Journey Begins!

1. πŸ“ž Initial Consultation: Let’s Talk!

This is your first step! Our team at https://protectiondogss.com/ sets up a chat with you and your family. We ask questions like:

  • Who’s in your home? (Kids? Elderly?)
  • What are your goals? (Family safety? Travel companion?)
  • Do you have other pets?
  • What’s your home like? (Apartment? Farm?)

πŸ‘‰ We offer Consultation Services to guide you personally!

πŸ•’ Time Needed: 1–3 days

2. 🐢 Matching the Perfect Dog for You

We’re not about selling β€œany dog.” We believe in perfect matches! ❀️ Whether it’s a German Shepherd or a Cane Corso, we look at:

  • Energy level
  • Breed compatibility
  • Your schedule
  • Training requirements

You might be choosing from:

  • Pre-trained dogs (fastest delivery!)
  • Partially trained young adults
  • Puppies with custom growth plans

πŸ•’ Time Needed: 2–7 days (but can be immediate if you choose from Dogs for Sale page)

3. 🏫 Training or Evaluation Phase

Not every dog is “ready-to-go.” Some may need extra prep based on:

We offer:

🐾 Dogs already trained might need just a Training Refresh

πŸ•’ Time Needed:

  • Pre-trained dog: 2–4 weeks (for evaluation or refresh)
  • Young adults or partials: 4–8 weeks
  • Custom puppies: 6–12 weeks or more depending on goals

4. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ Handler Training: Learn to Work as a Team

You don’t just get a trained dog β€” YOU become part of the team! We teach you:

  • Command structure
  • Body language signals
  • Leash and off-leash techniques
  • Emergency and threat responses
  • Kid-safe handling (if needed)

Training is hands-on, fun, and empowering πŸ’ͺ We offer:

  • On-site at our facility
  • Virtual instruction with video follow-ups
  • At-home sessions through Family Handler Training

πŸ•’ Time Needed: 1–2 days

5. 🏠 In-Home Integration (Optional but Amazing!)

We come to you (yes β€” YOUR home!) and:

  • Show how the dog will function in your living space
  • Set up crates, gear, sleeping spots
  • Teach routines, feeding, and safety
  • Introduce to kids, babies, or other pets (see Introducing to Family Pets)

This step makes delivery smooth and stress-free 🌟

πŸ•’ Time Needed: 1–7 days

6. ✈️ Dog Delivery or Pickup

Almost there! πŸŽ‰ You can:

  • Fly to us and pick up the dog (we help with travel)

We also offer VIP Travel Support for celebrity and executive buyers πŸ’ΌπŸ›¬

πŸ•’ Time Needed: 1–3 days depending on location

πŸ›ŽοΈ Add-On Services That Affect the Timeline

Depending on your needs, we can add:

Each service can add a few days to a few weeks β€” but always worth it for peace of mind πŸ’ΌπŸΎ

🚦 Fastest Timeline vs. Longest Timeline

ScenarioEstimated Total Time
Pre-trained dog, no extras2–3 weeks
Young dog + refresh training4–6 weeks
Custom puppy from scratch3–6 months (minimum)
Dog + full services & add-ons2–4 months

So if you need a dog fast β€” we can help! But if you want a custom companion, the wait is πŸ’― worth it.

🧠 Why the Wait is GOOD (and Safer!)

🚫 A rushed delivery = unsafe delivery.

We’ve seen dogs arrive at new homes:

  • Scared 😨
  • Confused πŸ˜•
  • Disobedient 😬

That’s why we never skip steps. Every extra week means:

  • Better bonding 🧑
  • Stronger obedience
  • Safer behavior with kids
  • Smooth travel or public presence

Think of it like preparing a superhero β€” not just a pet! πŸ¦Έβ€β™‚οΈπŸΆ

πŸ“ Real Client Example: “From Consultation to Couch”

The Johnson Family in Florida needed a family-friendly dog trained to guard but also gentle around a toddler.

βœ… Week 1: Consultation and match made
βœ… Week 2–6: Refresh training + socialization
βœ… Week 7: Family flew out for Handler Training
βœ… Week 8: In-home integration complete
