K9 Decoy / Helper Workshop
If a decoy cannot explain to you what they are doing to your canine during training, then they are just a person with equipment. A decoy’s role is like a sparring partner for a champion fighter and is just as important as your trainer’s role. When training with a trained decoy, you will get the most out of your valuable training time. The skill of your decoy directly relates to the performance of your dog. This workshop will cover proven techniques refined for success.
