Practical Obedience for Guardian Dogs
For dogs six months old and older
Are you looking for online dog obedience training for your home protection dog? I employ every tool that works. My system of protection dog training starts with simple and effective obedience training. We bring the training to the dog rather than forcing the dog into a training system. I start all obedience training with a simple flat collar and a lead, and then I build from there as needed. Most dogs can be trained in basic obedience with a simple flat collar.
My method centers around basic time-tested principles. How do you train a dog? You show the dog, reward the dog, and correct the dog. You can teach your dog just about anything with these three simple steps. Then we add duration, distance, and distraction. All my obedience training is based upon these two sets of basic steps.
My system focuses on the five primary commands for family guardians and personal protection dogs. We use the spring pole and Jolly ball to help develop a solid off-switch in our dogs. While most so-called “protection” training methods focus on the bite, my method is all about control and the off-switch.

“I’m very thankful I found Chuck’s Dogmen Underground site and immediately became a member because of the quality of what’s offered here. I believe it’s very underpriced, It has a unique approach to personal protection training that makes so much more sense for the family guardian owner than the only “protection” techniques we see. The only techniques we see for protection is watered-down military “apprehension” training of very little practical use for close-in personal and property protection. People are actually left unprotected from threats by sending their away after people, leaving the family alone to deal with a threat. The approach taught here capitalize on mastiff instincts to stick with it’s people and protect them with it’s body, teeth and life. The legal risks of training with the usual sport techniques we see are considerable – take a minute to think about the legal consequences of sending your dog out to attack people in public. Chuck’s puppy raising, obedience courses, his discussions and problem-solving for members are excellent and tailored for family guardian owners. I’ve gained immense value from his generosity in helping me with my specific issue. This is a 5-star review and a huge recommendation for the Dogman.” -Vikki W, Dogman Underground Member
