Course description

​

This 3-day course for K9 teams and handlers is centered on the psychology of canine aggression, bite development, and handler mechanics. Handlers will uncover and address weak points in their dogs and themselves, reducing deployment risk while sharpening their edge as a force multiplier. They'll also learn the fundamentals of decoying to keep training in-house. On day 3, the course converges with Greg Lapin's Vehicle Gunfighter course, applying these skills to tactical and vehicle takedown scenarios.
