Pets For Protection,
Training for You and Your Dog

Pets for Protection was founded by Rick Comstock in 1971 with the idea that far too many dogs of good temperament were losing their homes. Poor behavior seemed to be their common bond. Whether it be simple puppy exuberance or down right viciousness it was and still is costing many dogs their homes and even their life. It was obvious that not only did these dogs need help but even more important their owners needed help. That is where Rick comes in.

At your request, a Rick will come to your home, discuss your specific problems and how to resolve them. He will explain the Pets for Protection training programs, techniques and schedules. If justified Rick will schedule you and your dog in a program that will help ensure your pet has a home for life.

Any dog, any problem, any age, it’s ever too late. Call Rick to schedule an evaluation.

One of the Best Investments We Have Ever Made
If you have a puppy or a dog of any age...please do yourself and your dog a favor  - Call Rick Comstock and allow him to train you, the owner, and your dog together. I promise it will be one of the best investments you will ever make because that is exactly what we did. We purchased a Boerboel / South African Mastiff 4 years ago. He was a puppy of about 12 weeks when Rick began an 8 week Behavior Training course. It was so good and effective that we decided to do his 8 week Obedience Training course. He not only spent time with our puppy but with us - teaching us how to train our puppy in our home. We then decided to complete an 8 week Protection Training course. That was fantastic too! Rick has 40 plus years of working with all types of dogs in all types of settings...my wife calls him "The Bruce Lee" of dog trainers because he truly is a master. We cannot thank Rick and his skills for creating a 150 pound dog with a perfect temperament. Again, one of the best investments we have ever made!...
