The "5326" in the designator is taken from the Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) 5326 Combatant Swimmer, more commonly known as a Navy SEAL or Frogman.

  • Why do your dog’s wear muzzles?
    Protection K9’s are highly disciplined and trained. They do not always require muzzles and we use different types of muzzles for different reasons. The dog’s temperature and ability to pant is monitored closely. We perform muzzle training and use muzzles at events for many different reasons to include but are not limited to; the activity of the day and at the related event, the type of work performed at the event, female K9 heat cycles, children, medical training and exanimations, injuries, alcohol use at the event, other dogs. Many times, it is also for the dog’s safety.
  • Do you use pinch, slip leads and/or electronic collars?
    Yes, the dogs are exposed to a variety of different communication methods to see what they respond to best. There is a lot of misunderstanding about certain training tools and their proper method of use. Not one piece of equipment fits all canines or their handlers. Many factors come into place when reviewing the animal, its handler, and its environment. We have tried various types of equipment for dog training and are always looking for something better.
  • Why do your dog’s look so thin?
    They are a strong athletic build. These dogs are not sedentary, they are extremely active. Running, swimming, environmental conditioning, and agility work almost every day.
  • What do your dogs eat?
    Their diet consists of; raw food, eggs, green tripe, some fruits and vegetables, honey, pumpkin, and a multi-vitamin. We do feed them ‘kibble’ from time-to-time, especially while on travel so the brands vary.
