LEVEL I

Protection Dog Certification

During this program your dog will become proficient in all commands on and off leash such as but not limited to sit, stay, down, heel, (walking by your side), come, no “leave it”, and place. Your dog will enter a structured environment where they will learn to wait and be released patiently for feeding and break times. Dogs will experience multiple socialization techniques such as, but not limited to walks and interactions in public places including stores and heavily populated areas. Dogs will be exposed and proficient in distractions such as other dogs being present, loud noises, surface changes and elevation changes. Dogs will also have any behavioral issues addressed at this time. Those issues may be unique to each dog, so they will be discussed or evaluated between an instructor and the client. Dogs will learn to alert to a decoy on command and alert to threats on their own. Dogs will also learn to apprehend (bite) and release on command while under handler control. Dogs will also be proficient in “recalling” (false deployments where the K9 exhibits control and does not follow through with a apprehension). All commands can be trained in Dutch or German.
