It has been exactly 30 days since we have received our dog from Perry and his team; however, we planned, researched, and waited patiently for our “trained young dog” for over a year and we couldn’t be more than pleased. Prior to receiving our dog, I researched companies and this breed for months as we have never had a Belgian Malinois.
I’ll admit I was a little skeptic and hesitant, especially wiring money twice and even up until the point I finally got to meet Perry and our dog personally. Perry and his team have always been so responsive, informative; sending pictures and progress notes and videos ever since our dog was born. The weeks leading up to our “delivery date”, I had many questions and Perry was very patient. We literally flew and then drove across the country during a pandemic for four days to get back to California and our first two weeks were a “dynamic” adventure to say the least!
The level of intelligence, training, and devotion this dog had (thanks to his training with CCProtectionDogs) instantly to my family and I was truly amazing.. He acted basically like a well trained service dog across the country and we literally had no issue in the numerous hotels we stayed at along the way. He crated well and endured the 8-10hr travel days like a pro. Overall, these past 30 days have been an adventure and we are so thrilled and wouldn’t trade him for the world. Sure, we may have lost some random kids toys here and there that perhaps got chewed up and he may have tried to eat wild donkey poop in 1.5 Milliseconds, but overall he is so incredibly intelligent, willing to work, and we love building on his training weekly with new commands and new challenges. We invested in a nationally certified professional dog trainer right now who comes to our home weekly right now to work with us and “our” handling and she is so impressed with him! She exclaimed he is so quickly graduating steps in her “program” and she loves how quickly he learns and responds. His list of understood words and commands has doubled in the past thirty days and we can’t wait to keep training him. Seeing my elementary aged kids become more confident in handling the dog has been such a fun family experience too.
Overall, we are so thankful to Perry and will forever consider him to be “family” thanks to his team, his training & our dog. **Do not get this breed if you aren’t willing to put in work or be active. Trust me though, the reward for the whole family is worth it if you do. Feel free to message me on Instagram for any personal questions you may have.
