Decoy Services and Maintenance Training
We at K9 Unlimited understand the importance of a good decoy and our goal is to help your dog perform effectively and reliably for the streets. We believe the quality of any training exercise far outweighs the duration of the session. Because bite work exerts a lot of energy for the dog, we train in short, multiple sessions.
Our decoy services include the following:
- Decoy as an instrument of operant conditioning
- Alert on passive suspects with no equipment
- Bringing out civil aggression
- Drive channeling
- Eliminate equipment orientation
- Proper sleeve mechanics (sleeves do not create equipment orientation, decoys do)
- Proper bite suit targeting and "catch" mechanics
- Proper use of hidden sleeve and muzzle fighting
- Integrating fundamentals into police K9 scenario
There is a direct correlation to the quality of training and your dog's performance on the streets. Without question, a lack of decoy skill will reflect in the performance of your dogs. In order to improve the dog's performance, an experienced decoy will be needed. Champion fighters gets the best possible sparring partners so he will be in top condition for his fight. Training your police K9 should be no different. Your K9 partner should have the best decoy or sparring partner possible. Many a times, police K9s handlers usually will have anyone who will wear the equipment to take bites from the K9. The long terms effects of this training method typically results in good K9s with bad hibits. Training without a skilled decoy, the only one to suffer will be your dog.
A good K9 team should hope for the best, but train for the absolute worst. Although anyone can wear a bite sleeve, not everyone has the skill or experience to decoy for a police service dog. Let K9 Unlimited act as your decoy for your dogs and enhance your training experience. We will bring your dog to a higher level of confidence to endure the stress your dog may face in a use of forced deployment. Let our full time certified police canine trainers help you and your K9 unit with all your handling and dog training needs. We guarantee you will be able to see a significant improvement in the way your dogs work.
Familiarization Training
Officers who are responsible for supervising and overseeing K9 teams should participate in familiarization training. This training should consist of the familiarization with the capabilities of agency K9 patrol teams and K9 specialty teams, procedures to be followed in conjunction with the utilization of K9 teams, proper conduct around K9 teams and real life scenario training. A K9 team's success is sometimes determined by how well your non-K9 team patrol man and K9 unit work together. Scenario based training will help the patrol man understand the techniques and tactics used by your K9 unit, so the patrol man and dog work as a team, on and off the bite. Setting up realistic exercises similar to what your K9 team will experience on the streets, but in on controlled environment, will benefit all involved in the apprehension.
