The training decoy plays a crucial role in the development and education of the ring team within the protection phase of the sport. While the real education in decoy work comes from time and experience working different dogs of various skill levels, this series of classes aims at introducing students to important elements of the work.
Becoming the Training Decoy 1 (BTD1) focuses on familiarizing training decoys to common equipment and its uses, safety techniques, beginning footwork and stick work (away from the dog), as well as exploration into the mentality and persona of a skilled training decoy.
