Training foundations
Communication, daily routines, basic obedience and the owner’s role in training.
WITH STL JOSEPH GARCIA / SENIOR HANDLER
Learn to train.
Learn to handle your dog.
I’ll walk you through the work of living with and handling a Protection K9, with my team of specialists. You do not need to arrive knowing the answers. That is why we are here.
PLANNED CLASS TOPICS
Where you will start.
Developing your dog
Know the dog in front of you. Match training to its age and ability, and know when you need help.
Introductory safety tactics
Everyday awareness, avoiding confrontation, keeping control of your dog and planning for your household.
Know what you are signing up for.
I built this Personal series for owners and handlers who are learning. We start with the basics. This is not advanced combat instruction, weapons training or a substitute for supervised protection work.
These are Personal video classes. Individual assessments, hands-on training and equipment are separate. Registration and sign-up open November 21, 2026. Enrollment is not open yet.
