Why Women Should Have a Personal Protection Dog

Violence against women is an unfortunate reality, and most women have grown up aware of the various threats against them. From self defense classes, to making sure they never walk alone at night, women are taught from a young age the various ways to protect themselves from strangers, robbers, and other criminals.


For women who want an extra sense of security and protection, a highly-trained protection dog from Full Contact K9 (a reputable Atlanta Dog Trainer) can be one of the best ways to get that security. The best protection dogs for women have been selectively bred and are raised and trained by experts.


If you’re a single woman or any woman who is looking for a personal protection dog, the experienced and dedicated professionals at Full-Contact K9 will pair you with a suitable and fully trained dog in addition to our customized handler course.

Why should I get a protection dog?


Having a dog for companionship is always a great idea, but when it comes to your personal security, they can also be a lifeline. Have you ever laid in bed at night and heard a strange noise? Your mind probably went to one of two places: wondering if you were experiencing a paranormal event, or wishing you had something to alert you to the presence of any unwanted visitors.

Knowing these statistics, it’s not at all a stretch to wish for an extra layer of protection in and around your home, even if you already use security cameras or burglar alarms.

Protection dogs are a great fit for:

  • Women whose partners often travel or are out of town

  • Active women who want a K9 workout companion

  • Women who live in the city

  • Women who live in high target neighborhoods

  • Victims of domestic abuse and survivors of assault

  • Single mothers with children

If you fall into any of these categories, you might want to consider the benefits of getting a protection dog.

Benefits of a Protection Dog for Women


One of the most frequently asked questions we get is why a protection dog would be necessary with all of the motion-detecting, alarm-sounding technology that exists today. We think the answer is simple: it’s because dogs aren’t machines. While an alarm may alert you when someone enters your home,a dog will be able to alert you much sooner. Also, an alarm can’t protect you when you’re being accosted by a criminal, either at home or outside. Ready to learn more? Let’s dive into the three biggest benefits of a protection dog for women.


Protection Dogs are a Deterrent

Just the mere presence of a dog can be a deterrent against criminal activity. At Full Contact K9, our protection dogs are highly-trained to protect against home invasions and other threats. These aren’t fluffy little dogs; our protection dogs are bred from European working bloodlines and are beautiful as well as imposing. If you’re seen around the neighborhood walking your protection dog or your dog is heard barking within your home, it will be a sign to criminals to take their bad intentions elsewhere.


Protection Dogs Detect Suspicious Behavior

Most dog lovers are keenly aware that our canine friends have a bit of a sixth sense for bad people or suspicious characters. When there is someone unfamiliar hanging around your home or following too close while you’re out on a walking trail, your trained protection dog will be on high alert to the unusual activity, often much sooner than you would be. Noticing this response in your dog will help you avoid unsavory situations and get to safety.


Protection Dogs Defend Their Handlers Against Threats

Defense skills are a big part of what we train our protection dogs to execute. In today’s world, you never know when you will need to be defended against burglars, robbers, stalkers, or other criminals, so it’s best to take all of the precautions you can. In the event an intruder decides to enter your home or a stranger decides to approach you on the street despite your dog raising the alarm, protection dogs are trained to defend, giving you time to get a weapon if needed or distance yourself and call 911. Whether you are a single woman or not, a family protection dog that is trained to come to the defense of their handlers is one of the best self-defense weapons in your arsenal.
