Build the dog before building the fight. This course develops obedience under arousal, grip clarity, targeting, possession, out behavior, recall foundation, environmental confidence, handler timing, and clean transitions between obedience, search, and engagement.

The emphasis is control, clarity, and restraint before the fight is on. The course emphasizes practical training exercises and scenarios that integrate the agency’s assets, challenge the handler’s decision-making, while still holding the canine’s performance as the primary indicator of a successful deployment.
