Distance and directional control
We train send-aways, directional handling, remote position changes and emergency stops at distance. These skills convert a well-behaved dog into a deployable one, and they demand precise criteria and heavy proofing.
- Directional send-aways and box work
- Remote downs and emergency stops at 50m+
- Tracking and area search in varied terrain
- Article indication and blind searches
- Multi-behaviour sequencing under distraction
Tracking and search
Scent work is the most underused capability in most working dogs. We build footstep tracking on varied surfaces, aged tracks, article indication and open area search, developing both the dog's precision and the handler's ability to read line pressure and behaviour change.
Scenario training
Sequences are rehearsed as complete scenarios: vehicle exit, search, engagement, out, guard, transport and re-heel. Chaining under fatigue exposes the weak links that isolated drills hide.
Competition preparation
For sport handlers we prepare for IGP, mondioring and working trials, including routine construction, judge presentation, and pressure inoculation to trial conditions.
