Security is always a concern. There is no finer companionship and security than a well trained protection dog. There is no better provider of this type of dog than Wayne Simanovich. He knows what he's doing. Our dogs are a big part of our family.

Huggable Securityβ„’. A Dog That Guards Your Family And Lives As Part Of It.

I've been training protection dogs at a world-championship level since 1978. My team and I have put dogs on the podium against the best in the world, and that matters for one reason: the dog we bring to the world championship is the same caliber of dog we put in your home.

There are three ways to buy a protection dog from us, and the right one depends on your family, your schedule and your patience.

A fully trained adult is finished. He arrives knowing his job. He has been proofed against real threats, in real settings, by people who do this every day. You are not raising him and you are not training him β€” you are learning to live with him, and we teach you how. Adults are 18 to 36 months old and priced from $45,000 to $65,000.

A trained adolescent is a young dog with a foundation already under him. His obedience is started, his temperament is proven, and his protection work is underway. You get a dog that is already a pleasure to live with, at a lower price, and you get to be part of his development with our guidance. Adolescents are 5 to 18 months old and run $10,000 to $25,000 depending on how far along he is.

A puppy comes from the same genetic material as our champions. We select the sire and the dam, we raise the litter, and we start every pup right. If you want to build the dog yourself, this is where you start. Puppies are from $5,500. Puppies are 8 to 12 weeks old.

What all three have in common. Whether a dog was bred here or imported from Europe's top working programs, the selection is ours, the training is ours, and the standard is ours β€” it hasn't changed since 1978. We work in German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois. There are individuals in both breeds that are unacceptable β€” hyper, unstable, useless β€” and individuals in both that are exactly what you want. The breed doesn't decide that. The individual does. Knowing the difference is our job.

Who our dogs are for. Families who want a dog they can hug on the couch and count on at 2 a.m. People who travel and want their spouse and kids covered. Ranch and estate owners. Business owners. Anyone who has decided that a security system is not enough, because a security system doesn't put a body between you and a problem.

How you get the dog. Either one of our trainers delivers the dog to you and trains your family in your own home and yard, or you come to us in Conover and we do it here. Which is right depends on the client, and we'll talk it through with you. Every dog leaves with the training, the paperwork and a team behind him that answers the phone.

If you're serious, fill out the form below or call us. Wayne or a member of the team will reply within 24 hours.

48 Years. One Standard. The Man Behind Every Dog.

Wayne Simanovich holding an Elite Protection Dog

My name is Wayne Simanovich. Training protection dogs since 1978 β€” that's not a marketing number. Nineteen years old when I started, and still doing it every day.

Competing against the best dogs and handlers in the world, across six countries, and placing dogs with executives, politicians, entertainers, athletes, and government officials. But the phone calls that matter most are the ones from families who just want to feel safe in their own home. Those calls come in every day.

The world is not a safe place. The stories come in daily. People who've had a break-in. People who live alone and don't sleep well. People whose jobs make them visible. People who just had kids and started thinking about security for the first time. The answer is always the same: a well-trained dog changes the equation.

A protection dog turns constant vigilance into quiet confidence. You stop checking the windows. You stop lying awake listening. The dog is listening for you. And it's also your companion, your family member, and a lot of fun. That's the whole point of Huggable Security.

Founded this company in 1978. Most of my competitors weren't born yet. Every piece of genetic material we breed from is personally selected, and the standard every dog has to meet is set by me. But this isn't done alone. My staff has been with me for decades β€” some of them more than thirty years. They're the reason this standard holds. It hasn't moved in 48 years, and it's not going to.

When your dog arrives at your door, it's the product of a time-honored system and a staff that has raised hundreds of dogs for families just like yours. We've changed a lot of lives. Welcome to Huggable Security.

About Trained Protection Dogs

What To Expect with a trained protection dog

Trained family dogs for sale

Health

A Fully Trained Adult is a young dog in its prime β€” vibrant, strong, with a responsive immune system, and past the vaccination stage. Before a dog is ever bred in our program, we screen the breeding partners for congenital health defects and radiograph hips and elbows. Good health starts with the genetic material, and we start there.

Why A Protection Dog

Why Families Choose a Professionally Trained Adult Protection Dog

Supplying professional Huggable Securityβ„’. A Personal Companion Delivering Peace of Mind.

An Alarm

More effective than a security system. If your dog is barking at 2am there is a reason. Be awake. Be alert. Be prepared for any intrusion.

A Threat

A powerful visual deterrent. When confronted with a trained adult, most miscreants take their ill will and bad intentions elsewhere.

Manstopping Deterrent

In the rare occurrence some fool wants to challenge your dog, you'll have time for instant, potentially life-saving decisions.

And Oh Yes, Fun!

Owning a well-trained dog is a lot of fun! 99.9% of the time your dog is your controllable and playful pet. Many of our clients turn their new companion into a serious hobby.
