We recently connected with M otto Sturm and have shared our conversation below.

M otto , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Risking taking is a huge part of most people’s story but too often society overlooks those risks and only focuses on where you are today. Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – it could be a big risk or a small one – but walk us through the backstory.

Some times you just have to jump ! Once you find your gift and your purpose you’ll have to jump to make the dream happen . A step out in faith and your going to get beat up a bit and get some bumps and scrap’s because at first it will be like your falling

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

We offer a chance to own a once in a lifetime dog by utilizing our highly refined selection raising/training program. We find the perfect dog to meet and exceed your expectations. Our dogs have the perfect temperament and stunning physical beauty that is the ideal standard of your chosen breed. We provide you our experience and expertise to help match perfectly the breed and specialized training program that best fits to your lifestyle! Our protection dogs are not only safe around families and children, but also trained to the highest standard. We raise and train International Defense K9s dogs in our own home, with the help of a team of advanced trainers and puppy raisers. Our clients include high-profile individuals such as CEOs, professional athletes, members of royal families, and prominent actors. We value our clients’ privacy and work closely with them throughout the selection, raising, and training process. With our expertise and guidance, you can be assured that your protection dog will be rigorously adapted to your home environment and family situations

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

My favorite breed has always been the American pitbull terrier . And from the beginning it was an uphill battle in the face of deep adversity and prejudice ! People would constantly make up hateful slanderous statements about me and my dogs and even try to disregard us or segregate us completely from the sports our accomplishments or goals after quite some time I started to gain traction. At You and Your Dog Behavioral Health and You and Your Dog LLC, we use the latest, most advanced training techniques available. We specialize in rehabilitating rescue dogs with severe anxiety or aggression issues, and we also train and place service dogs with clients who have various disabilities. Our expertise extends to training hunting dogs and coaching pets for success in various competitions, such as freestyle disc, agility, herding, and protection sports. Kristi and Otto, both featured on the popular TV show America’s Top Dog, have an unparalleled level of experience and expertise. Otto and his dog Chino made history by becoming the first of their breed to win the USA World Championship MondioRing in 2017. Their unique approach to dog training sets them apart from all other trainers in the industry. At International Defense K9s, we have a deep understanding of dog sports and their titles. Our founders, Otto and Kristi, have achieved high accomplishments as handlers and training decoys for many dogs who have gone on to achieve world team level status. Otto himself achieved level 3 super selective decoy status at the Decoy Super Selective in 2017, a feat accomplished by fewer than 10 people in the history of the sport in the United States.
We recognize that while many sport dogs possess the necessary attributes to excel as family protectors, only a small percentage of them truly do. At International Defense K9s, we are experts in recognizing and selecting these
few perfect candidates and transitioning them into their roles as family protectors through advanced training. We do not believe in simply purchasing titled sport dogs from Europe and selling them to clients without additional training. Our team possesses an unparalleled understanding of dog sports and the dogs that excel in them due to our extensive experience in police, military, and sport dog training. We use this broad-based background to properly select canines for purchase, training, and placement into a home. When it comes to Executive Protection Canines for sale, no other company matches our level of experience and expertise.

Conversations about M&A are often focused on multibillion dollar transactions – but M&A can be an important part of a small or medium business owner’s journey. We’d love to hear about your experience with selling businesses.

We are currently in the process of developing a franchise program for You and your dog behavioral health and dog training and selling a business is much much different than running our or even starting it from scratch because there are steps and documents and things that have to be created in order to build out the package that a person can buy . If your in a niche business that means your probably better at doing what you do than keeping records writing employees handbooks or a bunch of the other mundane tasks I’d suggest higher a company to help with things like book keeping and document creation off the top of you ever plan to sell or franchise your business it will be a shortcut to the finish line for certain
