Today we’d like to introduce you to Mike Israeli.
Mike, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Since childhood, my profound connection with animals, particularly dogs, has been evident. My journey began when, as a young individual, I enlisted in the military for a four-year term, during which I was entrusted with the responsibility of training and handling my own canine companion. Upon migrating to the US in 2006, I acquired a puppy to raise and train, envisioning a family protection dog that would seamlessly integrate into our household. Over years of dedicated training, my dog became not only a cherished family pet but also a vigilant protector. Encouraged by the admiration of friends and family, I transitioned from a modest facility to a larger one to meet the rising demand fueled by an increasing crime rate in our community. Driven by a vision necessitating a specific breed with a stable bloodline, I embarked on a global journey to meticulously select dogs with the desired temperament. Importing these canines, I established my own breeding program to ensure a stable and reliable breed. This strategic breeding approach was aimed at cultivating dogs that not only possessed the sweetness required for companionship but also exhibited a keen and vigilant protector instinct.
Catering to high-end clients seeking family protection dogs, our reputation flourished as our well-trained dogs demonstrated exceptional capabilities. This success drew attention from the press, solidifying our position as a renowned facility known for delivering reliable, well-behaved, and intelligent family protection dogs—true companions that blend sweetness with sharp protective instincts.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Every journey comes with its own struggles, and mine was no different. I don’t like copying others, so I had to get creative in finding solutions to the challenges in our community. Working with beings like dogs, each with their own mind and personality, adds an extra layer of complexity. Also, being patient while dealing with clients of various backgrounds ensures that their dogs fit into their homes smoothly and perform the tasks they’re meant to when needed. Despite the challenges and long nights, it’s incredibly rewarding to see clients thankful for the hard work we put in, ensuring their safety and providing them with wonderful companionship.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?

What does success mean to you?
Success, to me, extends beyond external recognition. It’s evident when people speak highly of my company organically. It’s in the accomplishment of my canines excelling in their roles within families. Success is mirrored in the pride my children take in my contribution to other families’ safety. Furthermore, I gauge success by the personal satisfaction of looking in the mirror at the end of the day, knowing that I’ve done something worthwhile and can take pride in the work I do.
