Advanced Puppies
Working Dogs Raised With Purpose
Safehouse K9 raises working-line puppies with extensive handling, environmental exposure, obedience, neutrality and working-dog development from an early age.
Each puppy is evaluated individually. Some are being developed specifically as personal defense prospects; others may be better suited to active families, service work, or other working roles.
At 16 weeks old, advanced puppies are leash trained, crate trained, potty trained, and know "leave it", sit, down, stay, place, heel, and recall on command. During a puppy delivery, we show you how to continue in the art of dog handling and training.
Personal defense dog prospects can continue their training through Safehouse K9 classes.
