What to expect in our expert guard dog training
The building blocks for successful protection dog training in Denver include:
Obedience Commands: Essential for control and communication, obedience commands such as sit, stay, and recall form the foundation of guard dog training.
Alertness: Training your dog to be alert to potential threats while maintaining a calm demeanor in non-threatening situations is crucial for effective protection.
Bark on Command: Teaching your dog to bark on command is a valuable skill, allowing them to signal potential danger and act as a deterrent.
Bite and Release Commands: Controlled aggression is key. We focus on teaching your dog to respond to specific commands for biting and, equally important, releasing on command.
Handler Protection: Ensuring that your dog can protect you, the handler, is a fundamental aspect. This involves recognizing and responding appropriately to perceived threats.
Distraction Training: Guard dogs must remain focused even in distracting environments. We incorporate distraction training to enhance your dog's ability to stay on task.
Socialization Skills: While being protective, it's vital that your dog remains sociable with family members, friends, and others when not in protection mode.
Controlled Aggression: Teaching your dog to display aggression only when commanded and to what extent is crucial for a guard dog's effectiveness and safety.
