Sit Means Sit dog trainers Fred Hassen and Ashton Fitz-Gerald recently presented a Police and Protection K9 dog training seminar in Sonoma County California.
There were a multitude of K9 dog handlers from Santa Rosa as well as the rest of Sonoma County at the seminar. Over the course of the two day seminar, many of the dog handlers gained a lot more confidence in their ability to control their K9s around heavy real-world training scenarios.
This video highlights one K9 team who previous to our seminar were unable to perform advanced K9 training scenarios such as call offs and directional casting during protection work. The necessity of having off leash control over a K9 is quite apparent when you get into situations where a task is needed to be performed but there is strong distraction to contend with.
Giving control back to the handler to make decisions about when and where it is appropriate for a K9 to bite is crucial in the effective use of a K9 as a police tool. Real control without the sacrifice of desire is what has made the Sit Means Sit Police K9 School program so effective for active duty K9 handlers.
