Trained Protection Dogs for Personal Protection and Security
What You Get With a Priority 1 Trained Protection Dog
Priority 1 Canine places fully trained protection dogs with families, executives, and athletes across the United States. Twelve placements a year. By application. Every dog is selected by Wade Morrell, finished in a real home around children and guests, and delivered and integrated personally by Wade in your home.
Finished, not started
A trained protection dog from Priority 1 arrives ready. Obedience holds under noise, crowds, and distraction. The dog has already worked in private residences, vehicles, terminals, and public spaces. It recognizes a threat before it becomes one and comes off the bite on command every time. No adjustment period.
Breeds we place
German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherds, Dobermans, and Rottweilers from proven working lines. Thousands evaluated, a handful accepted. See the dogs currently available for placement.

Featured on ABC's Shark Tank
Priority 1 Canine was featured nationally on Shark Tank, one of the few protection dog companies ever invited on the program. The segment was unedited. The dogs spoke for themselves. Read why families choose Priority 1 Canine.
What a Trained Protection Dog Does on an Ordinary Day
Most days, nothing is wrong. That is the test most protection dogs fail.
A Priority 1 canine holds position while the gate opens for a delivery. Stays composed while the housekeeper moves through the kitchen. Lies near your children while they swim, roughhouse, and slam doors. Rides to school pickup without filling the car with tension. Nobody manages the dog. The dog manages itself.
Then the room changes. A stranger moves wrong. A door opens at 2 a.m. The same dog that spent the day as a companion closes the distance, stops the threat, and comes off the bite on a single command. That switch, on and off, under your control every time, is what you are actually buying.
Matched to Your Household. Not Picked From Inventory.
We do not sell dogs off a shelf, and we do not sell you a puppy and a promise. Every Priority 1 canine is a finished adult dog, proven before you ever meet it. Wade Morrell matches a specific dog to your home, your family, and your exposure.
A household with young children gets a dog finished around young children. An executive who travels gets a dog already proven in vehicles, private terminals, and hotels. An estate with staff and seasonal absences gets a dog that knows the difference between the landscaper and an intruder.
We place German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherds, Dobermans, and Rottweilers from proven working lines. See the dogs currently available for placement. If no dog meets the standard for your home, we wait. We do not force placements.
Talk to Wade Directly
Every conversation starts with Wade. No intake team, no sales script. Tell him about your household and he will tell you whether a trained protection dog is the right call.
Let's TalkWhy a Priority 1 Placement Costs What It Costs
Placements begin at $125,000. Most run $150,000. We are not the cheap option, and that is deliberate.
A cheap protection dog is the most expensive mistake in this industry. A dog with weak nerves or shortcut training bites the wrong person, misses the real threat, or turns your home upside down because nobody finished it. Families call us after that experience. The price buys the opposite: a dog selected from thousands, finished in real homes around children and staff, delivered and integrated personally by Wade Morrell, and supported for the life of the dog.
Twelve placements per year. Twenty years of military and law enforcement K9 work behind every selection. Featured on ABC's Shark Tank. When you compare providers, compare the whole placement, not the sticker.
The Standard Every Dog Meets Before Placement
Thousands of dogs are evaluated. A handful are accepted. Health, nerve, temperament, and drive are tested before training begins, because training cannot fix what selection missed.
Every finished dog holds obedience through noise, crowds, and chaos. Recognizes a real threat and ignores everything else. Comes off the bite on command, every time. If a dog cannot do all three in a real home, it does not carry the Priority 1 name.
What a Trained Protection Dog Costs
Placements begin at $125,000 and typically run $125,000 to $150,000, depending on the dog's training level, bloodline, and the protocols your household requires. EDWS, our Early Detection Warning System, starts at $25,000 as an added layer of security.
Compare that to the alternatives. A security detail bills hourly, forever. Cameras and alarms record and react. They prevent nothing. A trained protection dog is the only security asset that thinks, lives with your family, and responds in seconds. See the full cost breakdown.
The Next Step Is a Conversation
If you are considering a trained protection dog for your family, your estate, or your travel, start with a direct conversation with Wade. Your household, your exposure, your timeline. If a current dog fits, he will tell you. If not, he will tell you that too.
