FirstBarkI have been working with the trainer Eric. He is fabulous, such a wealth of information and professionalism. The other day my GS got loose. She was about 4 doors down and came immediately when called. All due to Eric’s wonderful training. I am so happy and would recommend My Body Guard Dogs and Eric. Well done!!!!!!

When and what is the cost for puppy training classes?
Doug the best advice I can give you is to call them and talk to Julie Saso, I will say that their training is 100 % perfection.

I believe it's 1800 n up depending on what you're looking for (imports) They're so worth it and much more. Big and beautiful puppies with a great temperament!
Community answer · Rachel Alvarado · 2019-09-21
Don't quote me on it but I think they sell puppies for 2500 each.

I have a pitbull terrier and I wanted to know is it possible to train her??? She's around 2 years but she's not much of a "guard" dog.
It truly depends on your dogs temperament, not every dog should be trained for personal protection. Go to a personal protection trainer to see if your dog would be a candidate.

Contact them... the trainers there are fantastic. I'm sure they can help you out. Either by doing private lessons, getting you enrolled in an obidence class, or by boarding your dog for training if that works best. They may want to do an "evaluation" of your pup first to see where she is at. I can't recommend this place enough. Have two shepherds from them that are incredible!

Jordan was super amazing and worked with my leash reactive dog Bjorn. He made such great progress with him during his 3 week board and train. The price was totally worth it and I highly reccomend them! Great team!
Jordan was terrific. He was very patient and would explain and model how we were to work with our dog Taffy. Then he’d watch to make sure we were doing it right.
I have been bringing my 1 1/2 year old GSD Holly who was starting to show some reactivity while on walks. I wanted to try and get ahead of it and found my bodyguard dogs! We are working with Jordan who has been absolutely amazing! I think I'm learning more about myself and what I can be doing to be better as Hollys owner, which I love and appreciate. Can’t recommend Jordan enough!
Recently completed a 5 day board and train with Jordan. During the evaluation he made me feel super comfortable to send my pup here for a few days to touch up in a few skills. Jordan was super knowledgeable and I knew he was a great fit! Very happy with my experience and will definitely continue with 1on1 training!!
