Step by Step Program
Every exercise in tracking, obedience and protection – from the very first session to trial readiness. Filmed over more than four years, in every weather, with every mistake left in.
Included in the membership – together with all other programs.
You just don’t know HOW.
If you are not 100 % sure what the next step in your training is, your dog can’t complete the learning process – and you will never be able to trial him. That is the gap this program closes.
You watch young dogs develop in real training – from the very first exercises all the way to trial readiness. You see how every exercise is broken into parts, in which order the parts are built, which tools we use and how our assistants help. And everything that went wrong along the way, we left in.
Whether you have your first working dog and don’t know where to begin, or you already trial and want to refine a few exercises: you can follow the whole path or pick exactly the pieces you need.
All three phases, in logical order
Every phase is its own track with lessons in the order we actually train them. Each lesson shows the exercise, the common mistakes and several ways to get there.
Tracking
- First scent pads and articles
- Building the track step by step
- Corners and cross tracks
- Different terrains and conditions
- Pace, article indication and trial routine
Obedience
- Focus and drive for the field
- Heeling, turns and positions
- Retrieves, jumps and send-away
- Stay exercises under distraction
- Putting the routine together
Protection
- Barking and guarding development
- Grip, OUT and secondary obedience
- Escape, re-attack and long attack
- Transport and side-by-side
- Basic protection work you can do at home
What makes this program different
Multiple approaches
There is no single way to train a dog. For every exercise we show several methods – because the best one depends on your dog, not on a system.
Real-life training
The dogs are learning each exercise for the first time in front of the camera. You see the struggles, the setbacks and how we fix them – not a polished demo.
Training plans & quizzes
Session plans for every stage and short readiness quizzes, so you never move on too fast and build on a shaky foundation.
Age-stamped progression
Every lesson tells you at what age our dogs started it. You know whether your dog is ahead, behind or right on track.
Take what you like
Experienced handlers pick the exercises they need. Newcomers follow the full path – without mixing in other systems.
Protection by yourself
Barking, OUT and short fly-throughs: the basics of protection work you can practise at home without a helper.
More than videos
Every program comes with the three things that make the difference between watching and actually getting better.
