Foundation Protection Dog Training: 4-6 Week Onboard Program
Our 4-6 week onboard program is the first step in your dog’s protection training journey. This foundational training focuses on building essential skills that prepare your dog for advanced protection work later on. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Basic Obedience
We start by teaching your dog important commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “come.” Solid obedience ensures your dog listens to you at all times.
2. Focus on You
Your dog will learn to pay close attention to you, even when there are distractions. This helps them follow your lead and respond quickly to your commands.
3. Socialization
We expose your dog to different environments, people, and situations. This makes sure they are comfortable and well-behaved wherever you go.
4. Introduction to Protection Skills
We begin introducing simple protection concepts in a controlled way. This helps build your dog’s confidence and sets the stage for more advanced training.
5. Owner Participation
You’ll learn how to work with your dog, reinforcing their training at home. We’ll show you how to give clear commands and handle your dog effectively.
Please Note: By the end of this beginner’s program, your dog will not yet be able to protect you fully. This foundational training prepares them for advanced protection training, which is needed for your dog to develop true protection abilities.
Our goal is to set your dog up for success in future training while ensuring they remain a loving and well-mannered member of your family.
