More people seeking K-9 protection amid Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case

Interest in K9 protect grows after Nancy Guthrie kidnapping

People are looking for protection after news of Nancy Guthrie's possible kidnapping. Now some are leaning towards getting specially trained K9 dogs. 

LOS ANGELES - The Nancy Guthrie kidnapping has people looking to increase their own home security. 

Security experts say having a large, loud dog can deter an intruder.

What they're saying:

Delta K-9 Academy in North Hollywood trains dogs to act as much more than a deterrent; they're trained on how to attack if needed. 

FOX11 got a demonstration of how a Delta K-9 protects a home.  

"We go through home invasion scenarios, we do kidnapping scenarios, carjacking scenarios, we do all kinds," said Delta K-9 Academy owner Mike Israeli.

Israeli said his dogs are trained for at least a year and a half and his dogs have prevented home invasions. 

"In most of the cases, they see a dog on the premises they will not go in. Second, if they do choose to go in good luck, they're not coming out," said Israeli. 

Local perspective:

He said since the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping, more people have been looking into getting a K-9. 

"I get a lot of calls, even from people who are not ready to buy a dog but they will ask the question of 'what if there was a K-9, what would happen?'" said Israeli. 

Delta K-9's protection packages range from $15,000 to $150,000. You can find more information online k9delta.com.
