About CCPD & Our Team

A bit about CCPD

My name is Perry Ahlgrimm I am the President and CEO of CC Protection Dogs. My passion for dogs started when my parents immigrated to Canada from Germany in 1958. I can recall when I was a child going to grade school on my way home. I would find a stray dog and bring it home this however, did not sit well with my parents. After years of living in apartment, my parents had promised that I would be able to have a dog when they bought their first home. It was years after that my parents bought their first home. They did not break their promise to buy me my first German Shepherd, all black named Terry.

How Far We've Come

It has been one of the greatest joys of my life to make the protection dog business part of my journey. My story began 27 years ago when I met a gentleman who trained dogs for the military.

I spent much of my young adult life at his sanctuary, learning the art of dog training without using e-collars, food, or toys to bribe a dog — focusing instead on trust and real connection. From that moment, I knew this was my life’s mission.

Since then, I’ve trained over 10,000 dogs and personally delivered more than 5,000 protection dogs to families in need. Providing the highest quality protection dogs in the industry has always been — and still is — my mission.
