The first portion covers German and English
commands used in bite training; followed by discussions on safe equipment
and dog handling
during bite work; then basic tests for Personal Protection dogs, and "Learning
Curves in Bite Training."
This video shows how to target your dog's bite to different
parts of the body. This is trained in segments using body bite suits. We begin
with leg bites, then leg to arm transfers, then leg to arm - and arm to leg
transfers, then arm to arm transfers, and finally shoulder and back bites.
Although the concepts are similar to those covered in our
video on training Police Service Dogs, most Personal Protection dogs are not
as strong as patrol dogs and therefore need more training steps in their program.
We show you how to do this.
Muzzle work is the only way to proof a
dog that's been trained in body bites. Muzzle training is broken into 6 steps
followed by a session
on "Helper Hints" for effective muzzle work.
Then we discuss the 4 methods of putting defense or civil
drive into your dog. Civil drive is the ability of a dog to alert on a man
with no protective equipment on.
Strong dogs with a lot of civil drive will turn on their
handlers if they receive to much pressure during training. Although this type
of dog is not common in America, you need to know how to safely handle it when
you see it. This video demonstrates 4 methods to safely work strong civil dogs.
You learn when one method should be used over another.
Included are are training sessions on each of the following
subjects:
1. Food refusal from a stranger
2. Bark and bite at the door
3. Protect your Car
4. Random attacks off the training field
5. Alert on a voice command
6. Handling rules for a real life violent encounter
