Elite Program · Street Only
STREET
PROTECTION
Real-world bite work, scenario decoys, off-leash control.
No sport. No IGP. No Schutzhund titling. We build dogs that respond to actual threats — not arena points.
How long does it take to train a real protection dog?
A real street protection dog takes 6 months minimum. Anyone selling a finished protection dog in 4 weeks is selling deterrent obedience, not real protection. Bite drive, environmental stability, and handler authority cannot be compressed. The Dogfather offers a 6-month board+train ($19,500 CAD) and a 10-month in-home track ($10,000 CAD) — both street-focused, with a final skills review and owner handover.
Two Tracks · Same End-State
Choose Your Path
Board+train is the fastest, sharpest, most reliable route. In-home is for owners who can't board for 6 months but commit to weekly sessions for 10 months.
Board + Train
Dog lives on-site with the trainer. Yathy + mentor decoy run scenario work on-site. You pick up a finished street protection dog after 6 months.
Private / Owner-Handled
Owner drives to the Scarborough location weekly for private session + decoy days on-site. Dog goes home between sessions. Owner reinforces daily. Lower price, requires committed owner who can make the weekly trip.

Lifetime Maintenance

Breed Compliance Required
Ontario's Dog Owners' Liability Act (2005) restricts American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and substantially-similar mixed breeds. American Bullies are a distinct UKC-recognized breed and NOT covered. Grandfathered pre-Aug 2005 dogs are legal with muzzle/leash compliance.
We verify breed via registration / pedigree / breeder documentation BEFORE training. Owners are responsible for lawful control post-pickup including any muzzle/leash requirements that apply to their dog.
