SDT Level 1 Protection Dogs
Level 1 trained protection dogs are family companions who provide a strong deterrent while also being loving, loyal members of the household. These dogs are trained to give an alert/alarm bark on command, reinforcing their natural instinct to vocalize when someone unfamiliar is present.
When given the alert command, your dog will bark and confidently place themselves between you and the subject—whether you’re on a walk, at your front door, inside your vehicle, or anywhere else with your dog. Level 1 dogs will also respond off-leash in and around your home, creating a reliable presence both indoors and outside.
Importantly, a Level 1 protection dog will not back down in the face of yelling or aggressive posturing from a potential threat. While they may engage if physically challenged, these dogs are not specifically trained to fight or carry through with a committed bite. Instead, they are best suited as deterrents—providing warning, space, and a confident barrier between your family and a potential intruder.
In short: Level 1 dogs offer peace of mind through their protective presence, making them both trusted guardians and devoted family members.
SDT deterrent dogs range from $30,000 – $55,000.
