This advanced course takes your training to the next level, challenging you and your team with higher distractions, tougher situations, and more difficult scenarios.

The primary focus of this course is proofing. We aim to strengthen your team's capabilities by exposing them to real-life scenarios with a higher degree of distractions. It is essential that your dogs are prepared for proofing before attending this course. If your dogs are not yet ready, we highly recommend enrolling in our foundation course first.

During our training, you will master obedience skills amidst high distractions. This includes bite release and recall exercises from various target pictures. We will also train your team to handle different and complex civil pictures. Additionally, we'll cover off-leash muzzle fighting, where your dog will engage in complex exercises and work for extended periods in various situations. Please note that prior proficiency in muzzle fighting is required for attending this course.

Another important aspect covered in this course is building clearances and search methods. You will learn different methods of entry, target identification at both high and low levels, and teaching your dog proper indication and control techniques.
