About Safety 4 Life

Mission Ready Mutts, the parent company of Safety 4 Life, sponsors trainings to empower women to have the tools necessary to protect themselves in a life-threatening situation.  

We understand that it is not weakness or cowardice that leads to someone falling victim to violence; rather, it is a lack of access to useful information and skills.

Mission Ready Mutts trains service dogs for those suffering from PTSD.  The founder Richard Gore, through his work in law enforcement and the veteran community, realized the need for additional tools and training for survivors of violent encounters to which the disabled are commonly victims.

Why should you learn from our instructors?  

 On paper their lives are nothing remarkable. However, their life experiences are.  Their goal is to use those life experiences to save your life.   They will teach you to be your own bodyguard. They will teach you principles of self protection. 

They come from ordinary families just like yours.   Their experiences include being unarmed victims in  workplace shootings and acts of violence , being molested as children by trusted adults and enduring ongoing sexual abuse for a period of several years.   They understand the life changing ramifications of victimhood and are passionate about limiting your chances of becoming a victim.  They survived and have made it their mission to learn many things that can benefit you without you having to endure similar experiences.  

Our instructors have trained in personal safety- armed and unarmed  for more than ten years, and they bring their shared knowledge and experiences to Safety 4 Life training.
