SCG K-9 - The Training
|
SCG K-9 dogs are not trained for a competitive
forum where handlers strive with their dogs for trophies. We do not to
reward the best of breed or the best of show. The dogs' reward is the
completion of the task. Competition is only permitted against the
elements and the terrain.
Disciplined
They will successfully deploy through intense smoke and fire, water,
ice, mace attacks and live gunfire. They deploy from vehicles, through
windows or doors, under every circumstance.. They are socialized with
people of all ages as well as other dogs and a large variety of farm
animals. Working Service Dogs are stable citizens and disciplined K-9
Soldiers.
Military / Special
Operations and Law Enforcement
If you've ever asked yourself, "What are my limits and those of my
dog?" this type of training will not only take you to them but beyond
them. It demands discipline and promotes sharpness in both handler and
dog. By utilizing the largest most intense training facility in the
world, our instructors will work to enhance the strategic capabilities
of Special Operations, SWAT and PSD teams.

- Level #1
(9-14 months) - These dogs will have started in their training
to be placed as personal protection dogs. Dogs are trained to alert on
the "watch" command and to deploy if an attack is made on you, or if
you verbally deploy the dog. These dogs are trained under extreme
stress such as loud verbal belligerent hostile confrontations with
individuals carrying canes or other weapons. This ensures the stability
of the dogs. Dogs are worked on multiple slippery, raised, moving
natural and man- made surfaces. More advanced scent work is started and
the bite work increased.

fire, water and smoke to take out a target. Deployment out of vehicles
is done as well as quartering, working more than one dog, crowd control
and more.

the department or the individual. Following are some examples of the
specialized training - Range Dogs are used to patrol the ranges and
exercise yards - trained in crowd control and cell extraction. Highly

to detect narcotics, weapons and or contraband. Tracking Dogs are
