Advanced personal protection dog training. For owners who want a trained, reliable protection companion.
Personal Protection Training is our most advanced and specialist service. This programme trains your dog to be a reliable, controlled personal protection companion — responding to threats on command while remaining calm, sociable, and well-behaved in everyday life.
Danny Wells is one of the North West's leading personal protection dog trainers, with extensive experience training dogs to the highest protection standards. This is not about creating aggressive dogs — it's about developing confident, controlled animals with the training and temperament to protect their handler when required.
Personal Protection Training is available for suitable dogs only. Not every dog has the temperament, drive, and nerve required for protection work. We conduct a thorough assessment before accepting any dog onto this programme, and we'll be completely honest about whether your dog is suitable.
This programme requires a significant commitment in time and training. Your dog must have solid foundation obedience before protection training can begin.
Common questions about our Personal Protection service
Not every dog is suitable. We assess temperament, drive, nerve, and physical ability. Breeds commonly suited include German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Rottweilers, and Cane Corsos — but individual assessment is essential.
Absolutely not. A properly trained protection dog is MORE controlled and sociable than an untrained one. They learn to switch between "work mode" and "social mode" reliably.
Your first step to a better-behaved dog. A thorough evaluation of your dog's behaviour, temperament, and needs.
For dogs that lunge, bark, or become aggressive on the lead. We transform reactive dogs into calm, confident companions.
Deep-rooted behavioural issues need more than basic training. We address the psychology behind the problem.
