πΎ Step-by-Step: Your Delivery Journey Begins!
1. π Initial Consultation: Letβs 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:
- Whoβs in your home? (Kids? Elderly?)
- What are your goals? (Family safety? Travel companion?)
- Do you have other pets?
- Whatβs your home like? (Apartment? Farm?)
π We offer Consultation Services to guide you personally!
π Time Needed: 1β3 days
2. πΆ Matching the Perfect Dog for You
Weβre not about selling βany dog.β We believe in perfect matches! β€οΈ Whether itβs 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
π Time Needed: 2β7 days (but can be immediate if you choose from Dogs for Sale page)
3. π« Training or Evaluation Phase
Not every dog is “ready-to-go.” Some may need extra prep based on:
- Protection level (family, personal, executive, estate)
- Obedience polishing
- Public control
- Child or pet desensitization
- Home Invasion Drills or Airport Behavior Training
We offer:
πΎ Dogs already trained might need just a Training Refresh
π Time Needed:
- Pre-trained dog: 2β4 weeks (for evaluation or refresh)
- Young adults or partials: 4β8 weeks
- Custom puppies: 6β12 weeks or more depending on goals
4. π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ Handler Training: Learn to Work as a Team
You donβt 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 πͺ We offer:
- On-site at our facility
- Virtual instruction with video follow-ups
- At-home sessions through Family Handler Training
π Time Needed: 1β2 days
5. π 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 π
π Time Needed: 1β7 days
6. βοΈ Dog Delivery or Pickup
Almost there! π You can:
- Fly to us and pick up the dog (we help with travel)
- Have us hand-deliver the dog
- Use our K9 Transportation service
We also offer VIP Travel Support for celebrity and executive buyers πΌπ¬
π Time Needed: 1β3 days depending on location
ποΈ Add-On Services That Affect the Timeline
Depending on your needs, we can add:
- Veterinary Coordination (shots, health clearance, spay/neuter)
- Dog Insurance Assistance
- Custom Breeding (adds 6β12 months)
- Security Assessment for estate planning
- Dog Selection Evaluation for dogs you found elsewhere
Each service can add a few days to a few weeks β but always worth it for peace of mind πΌπΎ
π¦ Fastest Timeline vs. Longest Timeline
| Scenario | Estimated Total Time |
|---|---|
| Pre-trained dog, no extras | 2β3 weeks |
| Young dog + refresh training | 4β6 weeks |
| Custom puppy from scratch | 3β6 months (minimum) |
| Dog + full services & add-ons | 2β4 months |
So if you need a dog fast β we can help! But if you want a custom companion, the wait is π― worth it.
π§ Why the Wait is GOOD (and Safer!)
π« A rushed delivery = unsafe delivery.
Weβve seen dogs arrive at new homes:
- Scared π¨
- Confused π
- Disobedient π¬
Thatβs why we never skip steps. Every extra week means:
- Better bonding π§‘
- Stronger obedience
- Safer behavior with kids
- Smooth travel or public presence
Think of it like preparing a superhero β not just a pet! π¦ΈββοΈπΆ
