Are dogs trained for protection safe and will they be good around my children?
Yes and absolutely. Our dogs are family companions first and foremost. What good is a family guardian if it isn't good with your family? Dogs that are well bred, given a well structured training program with plenty of positive reinforcement yields stable, happy, trustworthy working dogs. This is when experience counts, both in breeding and training. Our dogs are bred in house, selectively bred to be both highly trainable and to be great family friendly. |

How are your protection dogs priced and valued?
Dogs are priced for the time given to them for the teaching of said behaviors. The more behaviors, the more time, the higher the price. Note; Not all dogs are created equal, nor are their trainers, hence, Buyer Beware. In my kennel, our puppies are imprinted on approx. 30-50 behaviors. Each behavior will have at least 1500 repetitions by age 9 months. This is a fact, that is rare in this industry. Ultimately, customers are purchasing our unique technical expertise, knowledge, and labor.
Conversely, many dogs sold by other companies come from over seas, bought and sold through brokers, then reconditioned by a kennel who proudly displays them for sale on their websites. The less time they put in their dogs, the higher the profit margin.
Here at Chicagoland, we only sell dogs that we have raised as puppies from 8 weeks of age. In most cases, we have personally bred the litter. Sometimes, we are forced to acquire pups from outside our bloodlines, in this case, we either import, or purchase a high quality pup but always from trusted sources and raise the pup here State-side.
Producing real-life protection dogs, takes time, knowledge, and lots of technical knowledge. We do not focus on quantity, but focus on quality training, this is what makes our dogs reliable and safe family protection dogs. We ensure our quality by limiting our contracted dogs to only a dozen individuals per year.
