NEW K-9'S IN 2012

Good news for all who are looking to add a personal protection dog to their family. We have just posted 5 new K-9's on the website and they were evaluated out to be excellent working dogs. Stop by our showcase of dogs and check them out.

Better news is, we have four more arriving Friday, February 3, 2012. Make sure to check back regularly to see them all.

You Sold Me @ Minute #1

November and Staff,

We very much appreciate what Harrison K-9 has done for us. Chinko and Rubi are wonderful dogs and we thank you for them and their training. I feel safe wherever I go with them as promised (including Central Park in the late evening, which I would never do without them). You sold me at minute #1 that I had to have Chinko and he has changed our lives. You are one of the best salespeople I have ever met. I still remember you and your dog doing the quick obedience moves, which were amazing. I would not be navigating NYC with them if it wasn't for the crash training on how to "really correct".

Thanks again, Jack J. (New York)

The Love of My Life

Dear Harrison,

I am not sure you remember "Dasi". I believe November was her trainer.

Dasi is now 15 years old and I just wanted to thank you for such a great companion and protector.

I originally purchased Dasi for protection because I was running several restaurants and wanted to feel safe traveling.

Every top Hotel let Dasi come right in. Dasi is not only beautiful, but was the best behaved dog I have ever known.

She is the love of my life. We have two cats now and they are in love with Dasi as well. Before the kittens came home, I tacked pictures of them around Dasi's water bowl and around her bed so she would be used to them. It worked like a charm. She is so smart. It was like she knew them already. And they loved Dasi right away. They still keep sneaking up to her and sleep with her on her bed.

It is getting close to Dasi closing her eyes and I had to look up your site to let you know that she has been everything I ever wanted in a dog, but more than that she knows my every move and I know hers. We have had a great life and she will be hard to let go.

Thank you again, Barbara R. Texas

My Shadow

Everyone at Harrison K-9,

I just wanted to let you all know that Hakon is doing great! He seemed to really bond with me at about 4 weeks. Ever since, he's like my shadow, he goes everywhere I go including work. He is great with his commands and I couldn't ask for a better companion.

Amazing Dog

To All @ Harrison K-9

Zambi continues to amaze and please us. Just cannot tell you what a great companion she has become. Can't believe she is 6 years old already.

Thanks and Happy New Year. Walt & Jan

PIA

Warmest personal regards this holiday season. PIA continues to be an outstanding addition to our family. Your recommendation for our dog was perfect and we are sincerely grateful.

Fondly, Jack & Carol

New Litter of Puppies Due!

We are pleased to announce the upcoming litter from Harrison K-9. This breeding is between Boss and Bea. Boss is a black sable male and Bea is a solid black female. We expect the litter to be black sables and solid black puppies. You can see examples of these colors on our website at the K-9 showcase. This litter is expected to be born at the end of September to the first part of October.

Quinte-Finally I feel Safe.

Dear Harrison K-9, Thank you for bringing Quinte to me and my family in Canada. She is everything we asked for and more.

I took her to my vets to get more heartworm prevention and have her weighed so we know how we are doing with her nutrition and she was an angel. My vet is very impressed with her behavior and wishes all her clients dogs were so well behaved. She loves her nice comfy bed and now sleeps right beside my bed. We keep the crate close by but she prefers where she is. The other dogs have all adjusted well to her being here. Morgan is still Alpha but Quinte has accepted this for now. She likes to race around the back yard with Myles and Moose playing tag and seems to be the one who initiates all the play!!!

She has not left my side and is really attached to me. I think she enjoys farm life and all the activity going on.

We are at the cottage now and the trip did not stress her at all. As long as she is with us she seems content. We took all the dogs for a boat ride yesterday and she sat up in the bow of the boat taking in the scenery and smelling all the smells. She took a real interest in the seagulls as they are loud and annoying!!! She ended up sound a sleep on the floor of the boat in a heap with the other dogs and had a great day that ended with a great meal by the camp fire and a walk on the beach (which she also loves...although the labs have not convinced her to do more than wading around in the water!!!)

I think we are doing very well with her and everyone seems peaceful....we are all laughing at my mom because she was the one who was against the dog and was quite upset that we had got her. She was afraid her grandchildren were going to get attacked...well yesterday my mom and dad came over and Quinte slept peacefully at my feet on the front porch while we had a cup of tea together. My mom petted her a few times and went on and on about maybe she was a dud because she did not seem protective at all and maybe we paid alot of money for a dog that was not even going to bark!!! (people on bikes were going past and people walking etc.) Beth started giggling because we had all seen Quinte in action with you Patrick and found it funny that my mom thought she was not a good watch dog even!!! That evening my Mom came back over with some special chicken gravy for Quinte's dinner as the "poor dog is too thin!!!!" and needs some of Grandma's cooking!!! That made me feel better that she has accepted her.

So all in all things are going awesome. She is everything we have hoped for and more. I would also like to add that you made it so easy for us Patrick. You were wonderful to work with and made the transition so easy for us. We were very impressed by your work ethic and wish we could find people like you to work for us up here!!!! Our young guys seem so unmotivated and unloyal to our company sometimes...just doing the bare minimum and not caring for their jobs. You could tell you really care about your job and how you do it. You lead by example and are very hard working...Paul and I think you will go far!!!! Your energy is awesome and the kids are still talking about you and telling their friends about their American friend from South Carolina. Thanks for including them and making them feel part of it all. They are still laughing about Moose and his stinky roll in the poo.

I feel safe in my own home for the first time in a long time. It feels so good to curl up in bed a night and just let her do the listening. It has given me peace of mind. I feel alot more relaxed and I didn't even realize how stressed I was until now. I don't worry about the kids out in the yard. I feel confident going for walks in the woods again and she is a comfort to have around. I even fell asleep in the deck chair with her at my feet knowing she would let me know if someone was around. Paul said: You never do that!!! I could really get into this napping thing!!!! I might not get any work done.....

All for now...the weather has been super cool up her ( low 50's at night...sweater time) I think the climate agrees with Quinte...we are turning her into a real Canadian up here....eh?

Thanks again-Jana and Paul

Back in the Puppy Business

Harrison K-9 has decided to re-establish our breeding program. We have imported several females to add to our program and are currently looking at different pedigrees of potential males to determine the best bloodlines to accent our breeding females. We predict to breed around five to six litters a year. Hopefully this will meet our clients needs and we can provide a variety of colors and personalities to suit.

We also import European German Shepherd puppies directly from Germany for our clients that desire a direct bloodline from Europe or are looking for a specific age or level or training that is not normally provided by Harrison K-9.

Use of Electric Collars

Many times we are asked by potential clients about the use of electric collars to train Protection dogs. We here at Harrison K-9 do not use electric collars. All of our K-9s are trained with positive motivation or a typical training collar. When we look on other websites or talk to some Schutzhund or Police trainers that sell protection dogs we have discovered the dogs are all trained on electric collars. We feel this is because the handler or company either has no idea who the dog is and cannot bond with the dog or is just trying to force the dog to do the training in a effort to push the dog out and move on to the next dog. Here are Harrison K-9 we are committed to providing the best family protection dogs and we make sure we use a bond to train with to make sure our clients are receiving the best personality that they can control and temperament for their family. Without having to get out electricity for them to respond. When you are looking at websites of Protection dog facilities or speaking with a trainer on the phone ask them if they use Electric collars and if they say yest-run the other way, because if they cannot control the dog without the use of electricity you sure will not be able to control the dog.
