Gary Williams
Founder & Lead Trainer
Every dog placed by 01 Protection Dogs is shaped by the standards, methodology, and hands-on craft of our lead trainer, Gary Williams.
A Lifetime with Working Dogs
Gary Williams has dedicated his career to understanding what makes a truly great protection dog — not aggression, but intelligence, stability, and an unshakeable bond with its handler. His approach is built on a simple conviction: a protection dog must first be a trusted family member before it is ever considered a security asset.
Working principally with the Belgian Malinois, Gary has developed a training methodology that combines advanced behavioural science with practical, real-world protection work. Every dog in the programme is developed patiently and documented meticulously — no dog leaves his care until it meets every standard.
Today, Gary leads 01 Protection Dogs with an unwavering commitment to welfare, precision, and lifelong aftercare — personally overseeing every placement and offering private one-to-one training for owners with their own dogs.
“A protection dog should bring a family closer together, not set them on edge. Calm, control, and trust come first — everything else follows.”
