Dog Decoy Training Workshops
Decoy or K9 agitator training is extremely important to get the most out of your departments dogs. A decoy can make or break your dog so the standard of the K9’s training can be so much higher with an experienced decoy.
Without doubt K9 decoy is an art form and it takes many years of experience to even be an average decoy. So much money goes into dog units but they always forget about the decoy.
Gary Jackson is one of Australia’s top decoys of over 26 years experience agitating 1000’s of dogs Locally and overseas. Gary has extensive experience with the body bite suit and concealed arms and many techniques will be shown to the students to get the fastest and best results.
The students will learn;
1. How to start an inexperienced dog.
2. How to develop serious aggression.
3. The use of tools such as whips etc.
4. The use of a body bite suit and concealed arms.
5. How to do back, upper/inner arm, leg and chest bites.
6. Advanced exercises.
The seminars can be for individual or group training at MNK9 or on location for private or Government organisations. Each dog decoy training seminar is customised to suit your application and can go from a 1 hour introduction, half day or full day programs.
Handler training programs covering obedience, protection and detection can be incorporated with other specialty programs. The handler training program will put the student through many areas of training to enhance their skills as a dog handler.

Dog Detection Training Workshop
Each and every dog detection training program is customised to suit the client as the variations are massive. Some clients have their own existing programs and others are totally new to detection dogs.
This is why we evaluate the skills of the handler and work on a program that will achieve the best results. Other programs may have to be completed before the handler starts a detection training program, for example you will need to do explosives coarse on identifying and storing explosives and a dog psychology and behaviour program before explosives detection coarse.
The handler may have to have some prior knowledge either in dogs or related with what they are trying to detect. We can arrange other professionals and put together a full dog detection training program developed for you.
