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, animals and experiences using positive reinforcement. During this time, we teach basic commands and behaviors to our puppies using a reward- and relationship-based training system. Later, we add a training collar and proof training around distractions for bombproof obedience both on and off leash. When the time is right, we begin defense-based protection work that’s based on each dog’s natural instinct to protect. With maturity, 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 entire training process takes 18-24 months to complete and is based on each individual dog’s maturity and skill progression. Close to a thousand hours are invested into each dog to ensure it meets our standards and performs beyond our expectations.
