Michael Ellis 2-Week Protection Class - Part 2

Over the past 16 years, we have produced a number of excellent training videos with our friend Michael Ellis. Up to now we have never released a comprehensive course on protection dog training.

 

Some years ago, I went to The Michael Ellis School for Dog Training and filmed his 2-week protection class. I came back with 50 hours of excellent video. We are releasing this class in a 2-part series. The first part is 18 hours of material, that has been edited and organized into over 300 shorter videos. The second part that we are releasing now is 25 hours of material in 400 short videos.

 

In 2023, Michael retired from running his school for dog trainers in California. While he continues to do occasional seminars, he no longer runs his immersion program, his intern program or his school. This course allows trainers to take advantage of what used to be offered at the school.

 

About This Course

 

 

This program offers an in-depth exploration of essential terminology, the role of the decoy, and the intricate mechanics of bite work. Students will begin with a foundational part 1 overview, progressing to advanced concepts such as understanding the decoy's various roles, teaching practical skills without a decoy, advanced sport skills, and bite work mechanics.

 

This course not only equips you with theoretical knowledge but also provides practical insights that can be practiced without a dog, making it accessible for all skill levels.

 

Whether you aim to refine your skills as a handler or deepen your understanding of decoy work, this course offers a holistic approach to protection training.

 

This course is ideal for dog owners who wish to compete in the various biting dog sports, professional dog trainers, new law enforcement personnel, and dedicated dog owners looking to enhance their knowledge and skills in protection work.

Many concepts and conversations in part 2 may be confusing if you have not completed part 1 first.

Will this course be offered in a DVD or stream format?

This course will only be available in an online course format. It will not be offered as a DVD or video stream. The course has more content than can fit on a DVD. In addition, the online format allows students to review material in minutes compared trying to review material in a long DVD or Stream.

 

Is this course the same as the Michael Ellis Protection Sport Dog Seminar?

No, this course is made up of lectures and demonstrations at Michael's School for Dog Trainers. Here he goes in-depth on what protection work is, how to introduce it to your puppy, and how to build the protection dog you want. Each dog is different, so you have to work with the dog in front of you. Michael teaches methods and techniques to work with different dogs on different skills.

The Michael Ellis Protection Sport Dog Seminar was filmed at Leerburg and is made up of some lecture, but mostly demonstrations of Michael working with many handlers on skills relevant to their preferred protection sport.
