Cher Car Kennels has been offering canine personal protection training for the family pet since 1977, which teaches your dog to be a social yet skilled bodyguard capable of protecting the kids and your household.  (Read more here about "Understanding Canine Protection Training" and learn the answer to "What is a Protection Dog?").  Our Protection classes are always offered directly following an obedience class.  Instructor approval is necessary.  Dogs must have at LEAST one obedience class prior to or during the protection class.  Most dogs will need a stout flat collar, a correction collar, and a strong leather lead.  Some dogs may require additional equipment.  

Classes meet for one hour each week, for a period of six weeks.  Cost is $300.  Please complete the registration form at the bottom of this page to enter your dog in our upcoming classes.  You may also download and complete the application form to bring with you the first night of class.

We recommend owner and dog take classes... after all, both ends of the leash have to know what to do!  However, if you live too far from us to attend group classes, need special training not offered in the group class, or simply want a professional touch to your dog’s behavior, consider In-Kennel training.  We will board and train your dog here.  We can offer lots of distractions, as well as concentrated, one on one lessons with your dog(s). This can cover anything from simple obedience to more complex training.  Most dogs will benefit from a period no longer than two weeks for things like basic obedience, problem solving, or “manners”.  Longer periods will be required for more advanced training for skills like drug detection, tracking, or police certification.

In-kennel training, for any of the skills mentioned above is $300 per week for first skill plus boarding fee of $25 per night.  Additional costs for more complex training will be determined by evaluation.

Cher Car Kennels has been training police service K-9s for over 40 years.  We specialize in training police dogs from the ground up.  We will locate the right dog for your department, with the dogs’ drives being correct for his ultimate usage.  Small department?  No problem.  We will custom train the dog to fit into the handlers’ life style, so that the addition of the dog will not cause any bad bites, or misusage.  Our method takes a little longer, but we feel confident that once you have dealt with us, you will see what an advantage this custom training is.  We can train a dual purpose dog (patrol and detection) or single purpose dog (for example, just a drug dog, or just a tracking dog).

 

Payment plans are welcome.  References are gladly given.  Below you will find a few  of the commendations awarded by numerous departments over the years extolling Cheryl Carlson for her work with police canine units.  Please also visit our WORKING DOGS page to see personal notes from handlers pictured with their Cher Car Kennels dogs.
