Level 1 - Foundation

This video shows the MOST IMPORTANT part of training a personal protection dog. This particular training is designed for real protection training for personal protection, family protection, and law enforcement. The biggest mistake people make is that they target equipment. And what we want to do is teach the dogs to target the man, the potential bad guy. And that's what this training is designed to do. The reason is that what the dog learned first will stay with him for the rest of his life.

These are the topic you will learn about

1. Competent Trainers: Importance of focusing on the individual dog rather than just the equipment.
2. Necessary Equipment: Items like leashes, collars, and agitation tubes.
3. Defense Drive Training: Starting with defense drive and gradually increasing pressure.
4. Foreign Language Commands: To prevent inadvertent use in everyday situations.
5. Urgency and Realism in Commands: Importance of these elements in training.
6. Post-Training Diffusion: Establishing a bond and inducing oxytocin for a relaxed response.
7. Porch Training: Incorporating everyday scenarios into training.
8. Memorable Associations: Using different voice pitches for reinforcement.
9. Personal Experience with a Dog Named Jake: Example of effective porch training.
