Valor Protection Dogs specializes in Elite, Highly Trained and Home-Raised Personal Protection Dogs for people wanting or needing an added layer of security for their Home and Family.

We love the idea that our trained guard dogs could save someone’s life someday. Four-legged security that provides that kind of peace of mind is priceless. We work hard to select puppies from Top European Bloodlines, and we import the puppies to the United States where we pick them up and begin training on day one. Our puppies are home-raised and trained by professional dog trainers to create exactly the vision we have for our Family Protection Dogs. Starting at nine weeks of age, our dogs are raised on our 67-acre ranch in the Boise foothills and receive 100s of hours of training in obedience, manners and protection in order to meet our minimum standards. They are then custom trained to meet the exact needs of their new owners.

Our dogs are our passion and our legacy. We care deeply about each protection dog and about creating a trained guard dog who is perfectly suited for your wants and needs.

1. Our dogs are safe
Gentle around people including kids of all ages and well socialized with dogs, cats and other animals. Our protection dogs for sale are completely safe and trustworthy. No exceptions.

2. Our dogs are capable
We start developing our puppies’ protection skills at an early age to teach them to be fearless, courageous and capable. As they get older, we show them a myriad of possible real-life scenarios such as armed robbery, car jacking and child abduction to show them exactly how to respond.

3. Our dogs are obedient
Our protection dogs receive the highest level of obedience and manners training. They are responsive to commands both on and off leash, and they are fully under your verbal control while guarding you, your home and your family.

Our Training Philosophy

We start by building a solid foundation with our puppies. This includes socialization and exposure to people, places, sights, sounds, surfaces and animals using positive reinforcement. During the foundation phase, we teach basic commands and behaviors to our puppies, using a reward-based, relationship-based training system. At 12 months of age, we add a training collar and begin proofing their training around distractions for bombproof obedience both on and off leash. When the puppies are ready for it, we begin defense-based protection work that’s based on the dog’s natural instinct to protect. We also trade puppies amongst each other as professional trainers so that our puppies experience multiple home situations and real-life events to prepare them for their forever families. Once dogs reach a year of age, we increase expectations and execute a variety of protection training scenarios to include hidden sleeve, muzzle fighting, carjacking, child abduction and home invasion training. Our training process takes between 18-24 months depending on the dog’s maturity and skill progression. Close to a thousand hours are invested into each dog’s upbringing and training to ensure it develops properly and performs above and beyond our expectations.
