Vigilant Canine Services International along with the Absentee- Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma K-9 Unit is offering a 3-Day Problem Solving and Muzzle Training Techniques Course. This workshop is designed specifically to help handlers develop the proper skill set to correct control issues with their dogs, and improve their dogs responsiveness to control commands.
Specifically, positive training techniques will be used to reduce the stress levels that are so common in many dogs which prevent them from responding to commands. Problem solving will be focused on managing or improving responses to call the dog off a bite, recall work and increasing the intensity of the dog’s work ethic. Muzzle training will focus the dog on civil work thus improving deployments in real life situations and avoiding equipment fixations.
