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!...

BEHAVIOR & OBEDIENCE PROGRAM

Transformed into a Manageable Obedient Dog

Rick was a life saver for us, he took an unmanageable blue healer and transformed him into a manageable obedient dog! He not only taught him but taught us how to manage him. Since then I have contacted him several times for advice and he always gets back to me with an answer! Rick has been a great friend ever since!

Helped Us to Learn How to Train Our Dog

Rick helped us to learn how to train our dog. He not only cares a-lot about the dogs but the owners too. The effect he had on our dog was tremendous. His experience shows the minute he enters your home and you can tell that he understands dogs on a deep level. The biggest hurdle Rick had was training US, not our Dog. We love our dog and are glad we trusted Rick to be the one to show us how to teach her.

Highly Recommend

I have used Rick to train one male Rottwieller and one male German Shepherd for protection. He did an amazing job maintaining a great family dog combined with a protection dog, both dogs had endless patience with kids and strangers but could be very aggressive and protective on command. Their obedience was and manners were impeccable , we could take both of them anywhere with worry of bad behavior.

I also had Rick train two other Rottie's , one male and one female. I still have both and they are absolutely a pleasure to take to public spaces. I did not take either of these two through protection but I highly recommend his obedience training or full protection programs. Rick has helped make my big dogs easy to enjoy and safe under any circumstance.

Thanks Rick
