At RSK, we know that safety and peace of mind for your family are non-negotiable. With decades of experience in law enforcement, military K9, and civilian dog behavior, our trainers provide a proven pathway for transforming your dog into a confident, trustworthy protector. Our program is grounded in science, real-world experience, and a commitment to ethical training.
Our Personal Protection Program goes far beyond basic obedience. We train both dog and owner in the skills, mindset, and teamwork needed for real-world safety. You’ll learn how to direct, control, and trust your dog in the most critical moments, while your dog will be conditioned to recognize threats, alert appropriately, and respond on command—even under major distractions.
Every dog and family is unique. We start with a comprehensive evaluation—assessing your dog’s temperament, drive, and suitability for protection work. If the dog is a fit, we create a tailored training plan that aligns with your needs and lifestyle. Training is progressive and includes regular skill assessments, both for the dog and the handler. Not all dogs are suited for protection—honesty and transparency are always part of our process.
We’ll help you understand if your current dog has these qualities. If not, we can consult on breed selection or puppy evaluation.

EXCELLENT Based on 255 reviews Posted on Michelle IwanyloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough wonderful things about RSK! The staff is truly exceptional, and they have a special way of caring for dogs, especially those with special needs. My dog, Mr. B, absolutely loves it there! He has a favorite person who always takes such great care of him, and it warms my heart to see how much he enjoys his time at the kennel. The love and attention they provide are unmatched, and it’s evident that everyone at RSK adores him too. Thank you for always taking such good care of Mr. B when we’re away! Highly recommend!Posted on Jo LillisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
