This video shows how to target your dogs bite to different parts of the body. This is trained in segments using body bite suits . Although the concepts are similar to those covered in our tape on training Police Service Dogs, most Personal Protection dogs are not as strong as patrol dogs and therefore need more training steps in their program - we show you how to do this. Muzzle work is the only way to proof a dog that's been trained in body bites. We then discuss 4 methods of putting defense or civil drive into your dog.
Civil drive is the ability of a dog to alert on a man with no protective equipment on.
Strong dogs with a lot of civil drive - will turn on their handlers if they receive to much pressure during training. Although this type of dog is not common in America, you need to know how to safely handle it when you see it. This video demonstrates 4 methods to safely work strong civil dogs. You learn when one method should be used over another.
