$2.9M/Year Selling Protection Dogs for $175K Each

  • Kim Greene

  • Protection Dog Breeder & Trainer
  • $2,970,000 total income (2024)

Kim Greene breeds and trains protection dogs for wealthy families.

Every dog costs $175,000 🤯

She explains

This is not a product that’s for everybody. It just isn’t. In fact, usually I’m trying to talk people out of it to see how much they really want it.

Each dog goes through 2 years of training – protection, obedience, socialization, ~20 commands – then gets hand-delivered to the buyer’s home 🐶

Kim started the business in Kenya back in 2005. She’d been living in Nairobi, got pregnant, and didn’t want a firearm or bodyguard for safety – so she got a Dutch Shepherd instead.

She now runs a 170-acre ranch in Montana with ~13 trainers on staff.

In 2024, the business brought in $2.97 million in revenue 🤑

You don’t need to become an expert dog trainer to take advantage here.

Lots of dog trainers already have the skills required but struggle with the marketing side – that’s where you could help 😎
