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.

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 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.

When people have specific training questions we recommend that they go to our website and post those questions in the ASK CINDY on the front page of leerburg.com. Cindy has been training dogs since she was a teenager and has competed in several dog sports at a regional and national level. She was also a vet tech and owned a boarding/training and grooming business for many years as well as breeding working Dobermans and Belgian Malinois under the kennel name Kaiserhaus.

Questions posted to ASK CINDY are answered almost every day. They are also recorded in our systems if a dog owner has additional questions Cindy will review the previous Q&As and this helps her give better feedback and assistance.
