Why Our Training Is the Best in the Country
Our protection dog training is the best in the country because of our trainers. Our head trainer, William “Bill” Ellinger has been training protection dogs for military work, police forces and individuals for over 35 years. Bill has a PhD in zoology from Michigan State University with extensive research on animal behavior. Bill didn’t want to be just another dog trainer, he wanted to be the EXPERT dog trainer. His love of dogs pushed him to continually better himself as a trainer.
While Bill is working a dog you can often hear him say “thank you sir” or “thank you ma’am” to his dog. The level of respect and honor Bill has for the dogs he trains is unmatched. The love with which he trains his dogs is something every dog trainer should strive to have.
Each of our trainers learns under Bill for years and must pass several exams and tests to continue training with us. Each of our trainers shares the respect and love for dogs that Bill possesses.
Several of our trainers are veterans and know the value of hard work. Protection dog training is taxing physically and mentally and even so, you can’t have an “off-day” with the dogs. Our trainers bring their best selves every single day to the arena and every one of our dogs is better as a result.
Each of our trainers knows how to train the dog in front of them. Meaning they adapt their training techniques to the individual strengths and weaknesses of the dog they are training.

CAR-JACKING THREAT PROTECTION
Your expertly-trained Integrity K9 Services family protection dog will protect you against threats no matter where you are. When you and your loved ones are in the car, whether it’s in a parking lot, at a stop light, or in your own driveway, your protection dog is ready to defend you from any danger. Our dogs are trained to face any situation where an attacker could take advantage of you.
WALKING AND JOGGING PROTECTION
We would all like to believe that we live in a world where danger doesn’t exist, but that’s not the case. When you have your Integrity K9 Services expertly-trained family protection dog with you, it doesn’t matter if it’s just you by yourself, you and your kids, or your whole family—your dog will protect you from the attacker. Our dogs are trained by world-renowned trainer, Dr. William Ellinger. Our security dogs are trained to have experience in all aspects of personal protection before they become a part of your family. So, whether you’re walking at the park, or running a race, your Integrity K9 Services dog has your back!
HOME INVASION PROTECTION
Sometimes we think that all the danger is “out there” in the world, but danger can strike when you’re at home, when you least expect it. When you’re alone and you finally have a minute to sit down and read that book, the last thing you want to be worried about in the comfort of your own home is someone invading your private space. When you have an Integrity K9 Services dog, you don’t have to worry about being threatened by an unknown attacker. Our K9s are expertly-trained to recognize and neutralize any threats to you or your family.
POST DELIVERY TRAINING FOR YOUR PROTECTION DOG AND FAMILY
After 2-3 days of professionally delivering your dog to you, we keep in touch to make sure everything is going well. You can call our trainers anytime, so you are never left wondering if you’re doing things correctly with your new Integrity K9 Services protection dog. We are also available for additional training. When we come back, it can be for a day or a few days, depending on what you want. In many cases, we can train on the spot for various tasks. Our dogs are so well trained that getting a new command is not difficult and can be taken care of while we are on sight.
