Here at Pro-teck9 we have successfully trained many decoys who have then gone onto build their own path and reputation in their chosen field of dog training.
A good decoy can go a long way to improving a dog's performance and we are here to help you either learn or for those of you who have some experience, help you sharpen your skills.
Using our own qualified dogs, we provide a safe and structured learning environment to help build your confidence and teach you the techniques to put you on the path to becoming a safe and technically sound decoy.
Our decoy training includes, but is not limited to:
Introduction to protection dog sports techniques and structure of the routine,
Decoy and dog safetyÂ
Targeting and grip development
Long flight and catching
techniques
Understanding of prey and defence training and how to switch from one to the other.
Adding distractions to switch the dog from a natural behaviour to aggression on command
Controlled hold and bark
Safely applying and relieving pressure to strengthen
the dog.
