Family dog. Protection on command.
The Delta K9 Obedient and Protection Dog is confident, clear headed, highly intelligent, social, affectionate, and of stable temperament. Specifically chosen from dogs that genetically are known for stronger bites and can tolerate physical pressure, and trained to be very friendly with children. Level 2 dogs hold full on and off leash obedience, show aggression at your left side on command, engage and release on command, and will defend you on their own if you are disabled, unconscious, or unable to speak. Level 2 is fully customizable with select tasks from Level 3 for an additional charge.

Level 2 FAQs.
Will my Level 2 dog be aggressive at home?
No. Level 2 dogs default to neutral, social behavior. Aggression is a tool the dog accesses on command or in response to a genuine threat, not a constant state.
What if I am unconscious or cannot give a command?
Level 2 dogs are conditioned to defend independently when the handler is disabled, unconscious, or otherwise unable to issue commands.
Is the dog safe around children?
Yes. Level 2 dogs are temperament screened and proofed around children before they leave our facility. We do not sell a dog that is not family safe.
Can I add Level 3 capabilities later?
Yes. Level 2 is fully customizable with select tasks from Level 3, hidden sleeve work, food refusal, muzzle defense, for an additional charge.
Do I have to be an experienced handler?
No, but you will become one. Handler training is included so you can confidently operate and live with a protection trained dog.
