Meet the highly trained super-security dogs that can cost as much as $230,000

The super-rich take security very seriously, and they’re willing to spend a fortune to feel safe. In some cases, that means investing in highly trained super-dogs that cost more than a house.
With a single command, these four-legged bodyguards can go from cute and cuddly to a bad guy’s worst nightmare.
The price of this unique protection can be as much as $230,000.
“Our clients range from executives, to professional athletes and lots of women who are home alone quite a bit,” says November Holley, president of Harrison K-9, an Aiken, South Carolina-based company that imports and sells “executive protection dogs,” as she refers to them.
After about two years of daily training in Germany, Harrison K-9 imports the elite guard dogs to the U.S. The company hand-selects each pooch for obedience, the ability to track scents, response to on-command attack cues and more. The animals then receive six to 12 more months of rigorous training on the ground in Aiken.

The price of a fully-trained protection dog ranges between $30,000 and $80,000, with the average sale price around $50,000 says Holley.
But that price can go much higher if the dog comes from a pedigreed bloodline, or is an award winner.
For that kind of change, they could hire a full time highly trained live in security person or two with GUNS!
A bullet can cancel an attack dog in a split second.
Lol who would work for $80,000 for 5-10 years, that's only an $8000 to $16000 annual salary
Gall has already spent $70,000 on protection pups and says she has plans to add more four-legged security to her detail.
“I know they are expensive, but you just can’t put a price on safety,” says Gall.
At that price those dogs better do dishes
.
Well, all right then...but does he weed eat, too?
Cute!
Dogs and machines could be a whole topic in and of itself.
I was curious as to where they got the machine, found it here: iFetch
I can see problems with this. Police dogs have trainers that usually stay with them for their entire service.
They are teaching these dogs deadly commands with a trainer that will be out of the picture when the dog is sold.
I can't see throwing a trained attack dog into the hands of people that don't want a pet just security and letting people own them that have not been trained themselves.
What do you feed a $230,000 dog? The livers of orphans?
LOL!
The trainers should be locked up-- no one has the right to make that much money!!!
