Welcome To Protection Dog Training in Kent

The first thing we need to achieve at Protection Dog Training in Kent is to gain your dogs full attention. We want him to watch us constantly, focusing on our every move. We are going to use this focus to bring him out to the end of the line. A positive outcome for step 1 is a dog at the end of the line focusing his full attention on the helper.

The next thing we at Security Dog Training in Kent is the need for the dog to make energy. This energy could express itself through barking, growling whilst driving forward against the line or lead. Whatever the behaviour, it must be consistent and reproducible.  At Protection Dog Training in Kent we have the skills and knowledge to show you how to achieve this. 

The third thing we want to see is the dog channeling this energy into a bite. This bite can be on a sack, tug or sleeve based on his age, size and level of energy he is making. Simply making the effort to take the bite should result in an instant win.

The fourth thing we want is for the dog to hang on to the bite he takes. So, instead of an instant win now, we are going to cause him to hang on and then look for a good place to reward him. At Protection Dog Training in Kent when your dog makes a positive action such as pulling, shaking or biting fuller, we will reward him by letting him have what he is biting.

Now we want the dog to start to carry. We want him to understand that commitment to the bite is the key to winning. Parading around carrying the bite object or standing still holding it intensely until he is made to let it go best displays this understanding.  At Security Dog Training in Kent we only use safe and proven dog training techniques.

Now we should have the dog’s focus while holding at the end of the line, making energy, taking a bite that he holds on to until he wins, and carrying the bite object until he is made to let it go. We now want him to make the bite happen by showing an active desire, preferably barking.  Steps 1-5 have taught him to expect certain actions from us, and barking will make these actions happen.

In this step we want the dog to start leaving the perimeter he has been operating in by drawing him to us with his preferred stimulation. From about 15 to 20 feet away, have the handler let him go.  He should come freely to the bite and stay in the fight until his handler arrives. The he should be rewarded in the way that suits him best. Security Dog Training in Kent specialists and a Member of the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers.

In this step we must test the dog’s understanding by altering the picture that we show him. Our Protection Dog Training in Kent trainers will change sounds, movements, and presentations of the bite all in a way that increase the difficulty for the type we are working.  But we must remain consistent in the actions that we reward and how we reward them. Here we are looking for a dog that shows he understands what to do to create a win, even though the picture has become less inviting.

At this point the dog should be actively showing a desire to bite and fight with little or no stimulation. He must now learn to go to the helper and start the fight by barking aggressively without touching until the helper moves.

To achieve the above a Security Dog Training in Kent dog must have already achieved the appropriate level of obedience and control of which Protection Dog Training in Kent are more than happy to assist you with!
