Level 3 – Dynamic Defense
Engineered for maximum control and versatility, our Level III training provides the highest levels of tactical fluency for complex real-world situations — built exclusively for elite guardianship.
The Pinnacle of Protection
Level III Dynamic Defense builds on the Direct Action foundation, introducing exclusive skills that redefine what a Protection Dog can do. With precise responsiveness, unmatched awareness, and complete off-leash reliability, this level is designed for clients who demand the highest levels of truly elite, world-class security from their canine partner.
What’s Included in Level 3 Training
Dynamic defense
Another AlpinHaus innovation – Dynamic Defense is the final level in single Dog solutions. Here you will have a Dog that will stay by your side as you move, facing the Threat, as the Threat also moves dynamically in an unpredictable, real-world confrontation. This capability we build requires a tremendous amount of dedication and expertise to create. It is unique to AlpinHaus and, again, is the control you would want to have in a real-world situation.
The Stand Down
A signature command that enhances situational management. When you need a moment to assess or gain space, the Stand Down keeps your Dog ready—but momentarily disengaged—allowing you to remain in full control without escalating the scenario unnecessarily.
The Transport
Take full control of a threat, not just neutralize it. This feature enables you to move a subdued threat to a safer location—while your Dog maintains full defensive control, allowing you to disarm or redirect with maximum protection.
Call Off
Even mid-engagement, your Dog remains obedient. If a threat is neutralized or the situation shifts, you can instantly halt the Dog’s movement—even after a command to Attack—ensuring zero overreach and maximum operational flexibility.


Watch Our Training In Action
Here we review the details of Dynamic Defense. What becomes obvious is the total fluency – meaning speed, ease and intuitively correct execution – of the training and behavior that our Dogs have at this level. This fluency translates into durability of training, meaning that it is retained by the Dog for a long time, and reliability of the training, meaning that the training will be properly performed in an ad hoc real world moment.
In a real world encounter, we have to assume that the unexpected and unplanned-for can and will occur. Therefore, real world canine solutions must anticipate this by creating capabilities that can be flexible and adaptable while enabling Dog Owners to maintain control over the situation.
Level 3: Dynamic Defense Overview
Get an inside look at the highest level of AlpinHaus training. This video showcases how our Level III Dogs perform in dynamic environments, demonstrating elite off-leash control, situational awareness, and rapid-response capabilities that are exclusive to this tier of Protection.
The Stand Down
Watch how our Dogs instantly disengage upon command, maintaining focus without aggression. The Stand Down demonstrates your Dog’s ability to pause during a high-aggression scenario—giving you crucial space to assess, redirect, and take control of a tense situation. From this pause you have the ability to take the situation in any direction you want.
The Transport
This feature highlights how a threat can be safely moved under full canine control. Whether it’s guiding a subdued assailant or clearing an area, the Dog maintains complete vigilance while you execute secondary actions such as disarming or relocating the individual.
Call Off
Observe the unmatched responsiveness of a Dog mid-command. Even in the middle of a charge or a Bark & Hold, the dog can be recalled instantly—illustrating discipline, emotional control, and the confidence that comes from true training excellence.
