ARGYLE, Texas, /New York Netwire – National News/ — Scott’s K9 has reached a significant milestone with over 4,000 dogs trained and placed globally. These protection dogs for sale range from police and government contract placements to private protection dogs. This is an achievement founder, Steve Scott, attributes to a differentiator most protection dog companies lack: authentic police K9 experience applied to family protection.
Unlike typical protection dog trainers, Scott’s K9 bridges two worlds rarely combined in the civilian market. Scott served as head trainer of his police department’s K9 Unit after military deployments across Europe, where he refined advanced K-9 dog training methods and cultivated relationships with elite European kennels that supply working dogs to law enforcement and military units, worldwide.
“Our competitive advantage is straightforward,” Scott explains. “We apply real-world police K9 training methodologies to family protection dogs. Most companies in this space lack actual law enforcement experience. We’ve trained dogs that have to perform under genuine life-threatening conditions, and we bring that expertise to every family placement.”
Scott notes that when his daughter attended Texas A&M a Malinois was by her side.
So, how does Scott’s law enforcement background manifest? It does so in several ways:
Dual-capability training: Scott’s K9 dogs provide both genuine family companionship and elite-level protection – a balance that requires understanding how working dogs perform in unpredictable real-world scenarios, not just controlled training environments.
Comprehensive family integration: Drawing from police K9 handler training protocols, Scott personally instructs clients, their children and family members on proper deployment of their protection dogs in various situations – teaching civilians to work with their dogs the way law enforcement handlers do.
No-nonsense approach: Scott’s training philosophy reflects his police background which includes direct, practical instruction focused on what families actually need to know and eliminates the marketing rhetoric common in the luxury protection dog industry.
The milestone comes as client inquiries have jumped 47 percent over two years, driven by increased security concerns among high-profile individuals and families in remote estates. Industry observers note that professionally trained protection dogs offer security advantages that alarm systems cannot replicate – a trained dog provides judgment, deterrence and protective capability that technology alone cannot deliver.
Scott’s K9’s comprehensive approach, rigorous temperament testing, obedience training and specialized protection work, has established new industry standards in professional security dog placement, with placements now spanning six continents among Fortune 500 executives, high-net-worth families, law enforcement agencies and corporate security teams.
“This milestone validates our approach but doesn’t change our mission,” Scott says. “Our goal is making professional-grade security dog placement accessible to more clients who understand the difference between marketing and genuine protection capability.”
Scott’s K9 continues working exclusively with select breeders across Europe and North America, ensuring each dog meets rigorous health, temperament and working ability standards before beginning specialized training.
Each protection dog is priced at $150,000 USD. They do not offer tiers, levels or sell partial protection and all dogs are trained to one uncompromising global standard. This exceeds what the industry refers to as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 protection dogs.
