Secrets of Elite K9s: What Makes a Dog a Real Protector?

Welcome to Aimpoint’s Taking Aim Podcast. Today, we sat down with George Daniolos.

George is a seasoned K‑9 expert who dives into what makes a top-tier protection dog—highlighting traits like solid nerve, strong defensive drive, and high trainability. He explains how they teach bite placement by introducing precise target zones (such as sleeves or suits) and reinforcing grips on specific areas—the front incisors for controlling a subject or the back teeth for leverage when needed. Daniolos also emphasizes that bite work is tightly coupled with obedience: dogs are taught to respond instantly to release cues and follow handler commands through distractions, ensuring control and safety in dynamic, real‑world defense scenarios.
