Myself and Ozzy are home safe and sound.
What a great weekend and what a great dog Ozzy is.
When you get all the other security companies staff coming up to you and saying how much the love having myself and Ozzy there is fantastic because we are a proactive team that just love to help other security staff if they have any issues.
Myself and Ozzy assisted with 4 not so nice people getting arrested when they got violent with other security staff but when Ozzy showed up they decided it was easier to go to jail.
We also dealt with numerous cases of people trying to sneak in and Ozzy’s tracking ability is just unbelievable.

Thank you to everyone for the messages and everyone who has helped me with getting Ozzy to where he is now. I know he is my dog and I’m biased but he is one hell of a dog.

4 arrests.
Multiple people trying to sneak in and tracking them.
10 hours sleep in 3 days.
Crowd control.
Assisting medical teams with emergencies.
Emergency response to incidents.

Now I need some sleep. 💤

Check out this podcast. How to use an ecollar without causing conflict with your dog.

I’m also looking for a decoy that will come to me or I will go to them to work my Dutch Shepherd. Must be knpv or Psa style Not ipo/igp sport style.
Midlands based would be great but I can travel within reason.

Forgot about this yesterday. Having a Dutch shepherd is full on. They need lots of work and stimulation of the mind. I’m so glad to have Ozzy especially when we go to work. He is a great asset.

Hi folks. Over the last few days I have done a lot of thinking about keeping the club going. I have made the decision to stop club training for a while to try and sort my head out.
Keeping a club going is a massive undertaking and trying to get like minded people to get involved and commit to it is not easy. I have put a lot into it over the last number of years and unfortunately I have been hurt, let down, people going behind my back and deceived many times. I have a thick skin and will get over it. In the meantime I need to take a step back and have some time for myself.
I will also be letting go all my dogs except one if anyone is interested let me know as I need to move them on asap.
I apologise for any inconvenience this might cause to anyone but I need to do it for myself this time.

Have to agree with this. In Ireland I would say it’s even more toxic. Many so called trainers/decoys do not have a clue about training a real protection dog they think if the dog bites the suit our you put so much pressure on a dog and it comes out fighting you have a protection dog. No you have a sport dog that likes a bite suit and a sleeve or a dog that you have forced to come out fighting. Guess what it’s not the same.
And don’t get me started on grips and dogs pulling on the bite.

Have a listen to this podcast about using the ecollar without conflict with Howard Young and Stanbro. It’s made a huge difference to my training.
