From Alex Bois
I began training family protection dogs in 2010, and for more than 15 years I have dedicated my life to setting the standard for what a true family protection dog should be. Over that time, I have privately delivered hundreds of protection dogs to families, executives, and individuals. I have built my career around one belief: a true family protection dog must be as safe and dependable in everyday life as it is capable with a real threat.
Growing up, I saw an advertisement for CPI protection dogs that left a lasting impression on me. Years later, after leaving the automotive industry, I joined the CPI training team, became the company’s lead delivery trainer, and in 2022 took ownership of Canine Protection International, leading its relocation to Dallas, Texas.
Since taking ownership, I have focused on growing the company the right way while remaining intentionally small and selective. We have built the infrastructure, enhanced training systems, and added client support needed to develop our dogs at the highest level, while ensuring every dog is tailored to the client and every placement is handled personally.
That long-term relationship matters to us. We stay in close contact with our clients, host private events at our facility, and continue to support each family as their needs evolve. My fiancée, Abby, serves as our lead trainer and has been part of CPI since 2016, playing an important role in maintaining the standards that define our program.
To me, a true protection dog is not defined by appearance, hype, or sport titles. It must be safe with the family, clear-headed under pressure, easy to live with, and fully capable of real protection when it matters most. That is what drives me every day, and it is what I am committed to delivering for every client of CPI.
