About Jessiffany Canine Services, LLC

Protection and working dogs in Iron Ridge

Jessiffany Canine Services is owned by Jessie and Tiffany Smith and operates from a 32-kennel facility on nine country acres at W2853 State Road 67 in Iron Ridge. The site lists protection training, obedience, board and train, detection, facility dogs and tracking, and the business also runs a boarding kennel.

Protection dogs

The business imports German Shepherds, Dutch Shepherds and Malinois from Europe and trains them as social protection dogs. Placement includes three days of one-on-one handler training at the facility or the client's location, and dogs are trained to live with children and other pets.

Detection and service work

Detection programs offer green dogs and dual-purpose narcotics or explosives dogs, with small classes and a low trainer-to-handler ratio. The site also describes training service dogs for wounded military veterans, with tasks matched to each veteran's needs.

What to ask

Ask which program fits a family pet versus a working dog, what the protection packages include, and about obedience or board-and-train options for your own dog. Hours are weekdays 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., with after-hours appointments available.
