The truth about real protection dogs

Before you look at any dog, watch this. Rui Navarro explains why most of the "protection dogs" sold abroad are sport dogs dressed up as protection dogs.

Sport training and real protection are not the same thing. Knowing the difference is the first step to choosing the right dog for your family.

The Real Defense Protocol

Not sport dogs. Real protection.

Sport programs teach dogs to target sleeves and equipment. The Real Defense Protocol prepares a personal protection dog to recognize and respond to real human threats. The dog stays stable, controlled and safe around your family.

  1. 01

    Selection

    Working bloodlines chosen for stability, intelligence and protective instinct.

  2. 02

    Raised at home

    Puppy development, socialization and foundation obedience in a real family home.

  3. 03

    Real Defense Protocol

    Clear training stages that prepare the dog for real human threats instead of sleeves and sport routines.

  4. 04

    Control

    Advanced on and off leash obedience, and an immediate off-switch under verbal command.

Absolute discretion

What we guard stays behind the door.

Many protection dog companies are loud. They film their clients’ homes and handovers, and they publish testimonials. The families we work with value their privacy too much for that. TYR works like a private bank. Every placement is discreet and starts with a private consultation.

  1. 01

    No cameras at your home

    We never film or photograph our clients, their homes or their handovers.

  2. 02

    No public testimonials

    You will not find our clients’ names or faces on YouTube or on this website.

  3. 03

    Confidential by default

    Your enquiry and your dog’s placement stay between you and us.

Questions

Our dogs are raised in a real home with Rui and Sandra. They are stable around children, guests and other animals, and they can still respond when a real threat appears.

How is this different from a sport dog?

Sport programs teach dogs to target equipment such as sleeves. The Real Defense Protocol prepares dogs to recognize and respond to real human threats. Every dog also has an immediate off-switch on a verbal command.

Do you deliver outside Portugal?

Yes. Shipping is arranged worldwide, and we have delivered dogs to more than 30 countries. Personal delivery by one of our trainers, with a full handover, is available.

Why don’t you show client testimonials?

The families we work with value their privacy. We never film their homes or handovers, and we never publish their names. The proof is in the dogs and in the method.
