This course covers training puppies that are 8 weeks through adolescence. Adolescence varies from dog to dog. As general rule adolescence ends between 12 months to 16 months of age. From a training standpoint we detail the work up through teaching a young dog to bite leg sleeves. So in reality this course teaches trainers how to train young puppies on up to young dogs that are 12 to 16 months old. At the end of the training in this course the dogs will be ready to go onto a body bite suit or they will be ready to learn advanced training skills and exercises that are needed in the biting dog sports.

This video is an in-depth, step by step study of Michael's system on establishing the foundation of biting skills without a helper or decoy. Trainers only need a friend or family member that will handle a bite wedge, a bite tug or a high value toy to assist them in rewarding correct behavior.

The aim of the course is to train the dog to go to laser dot up to 50m away on cue and sit there waiting for the next cue. This course is the foundation needed to be able to integrate the use of laser directionals in detection, bite work, or recon.

Training the dog to go laser dot and start searching for human target. The dog should already have gone through our online course titled "Laser Directional Training for Police and Military Dogs".

Catching dogs on a suit is the ultimate goal of anyone learning to do decoy work. The skills taught in this course will give you insight into how to properly absorb the impact of a dog being sent off leash from a distance.

Catching dogs on a suit is the ultimate goal of anyone learning to do decoy work. The skills taught in this course will give you insight into how to properly absorb the impact of a dog being sent off leash from a distance.

This series of training DVDs has two purposes. The first is to teach decoys correct and safe training concepts in a bite suit. The second is to teach dog handlers exactly what, why, and how a decoy should work a dog in a bite suit. We want to teach dog handlers exactly what decoys are doing with their dogs. We want dog handlers to recognize good training as well as inappropriate training. We want to give handlers the information they need to be able to discuss and communicate a training plan with their decoy.

This course is intended to help new (and old) trainers alike. Many experienced trainers get caught up in traditional sport dog training, which is weak in the defensive areas of training. This video will help all trainers recognize and get a dog started in the training of its defensive drive. The goal of the training is to bring a young dog further along in its fight drive development.

This course will cover the drives of protection training in detail. We see how these drives are effected by the dogs nerves. You will learn how to identify individual drive thresholds on your dog and then how to use that information to develop a step by step training program tailored for a young dog. Because each dog has different drive levels and every dog has different nerve levels, we cannot train any 2 dogs the same way. This course helps the viewer identify the needs of his dog and then develop a program tailored to that dog.

This video deals with hard surface tracking (HST). In this video, you are going be able to see what can be accomplished with the right dog and the right training. The dogs in this video were filmed at the Nunspeet and Rotterdam Police Dog Schools in Holland. The instructors in these two schools are some of the best trainers in the world at hard surface tracking.

This course is designed to train your track layer. We cover how to walk a straight leg, double laying tracks, kicking corners, marking high to low vegetation, marking road crossings, marking fence crossings, and where to lay articles, along with much more.

The RCMP has 3 Levels of tracking. This video covers Level One or tracking in a rural environment. Level two and three deals with suburban and urban tracking. Filmed with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

In it we train a dog to track in a suburban and urban environment. In Level 1 Tracking we taught the dog to track in the country. The reason all police dogs must first learn to track in the country is because the country is relatively distraction free. We actually teach the dog to track in the country and then use a large part of the Level II & III teaching the dog to deal with the distractions of the city.
