Distraction training that actually works.
Learn our step-by-step method to teach your dog to ignore any distraction and have confidence in your dog’s ability to search through even the most distracting environment.
-
Have you ever felt unprepared for a test or search because of the potential distractions your dog will face?
-
Are you uncertain how to develop a plan for progressing through distraction training that will prepare you for certification and searches?
-
Is your dog false alerting on distractions and you don’t know how to correct it?
-
Do you have a plan for when your distraction training goes wrong?
We've been where you are.
You’ve put your blood, sweat, and tears (not to mention your time and money) into training your dog.
You are standing at the edge of your sector and getting ready to release your dog for either a certification or a real search and you have a moment of doubt. Did I really do all that I could have to prepare my dog? Will my dog REALLY ignore all of the distractions it’s about to face?
While most people do some level of distraction training, they don’t have a system to methodically teach their dog to work through all types of distractions so that they can confidently search in the real world.
During the course of our search careers we’ve learned valuable techniques that have helped us be successful and we want to share that knowledge with you.
We’re committed to supporting you, the search and rescue handler, but we realize we can’t help enough people through in person workshops. Because we know distraction training is a topic every handler must address, we have created this course so that you can have access to this valuable training.

The FBI can only conduct investigations and protect the American people from crime and acts of extremism if it has the support and understanding of the American people. That’s why the special agents in charge of each of our 56 field offices work so closely with their communities and community organizations. What happens when these special agents in charge get such tremendous support from people in their communities that they want to specially recognize them? They nominate them for a Director’s Community Leadership Award (DCLA). This special award, presented on behalf of the Director of the FBI, was formally created in 1990 as a way to honor individuals and organizations for their efforts in combating crime, terrorism, drugs, and violence in America.
