Working with Dog Teams
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Some sites use a dog team: one trained dog and one trained person, the handler. You may patrol with a dog team, guard a gate while it searches, or plan its duty as a supervisor.
This module is for the people who work beside the team. It does not teach anyone to train or handle a dog.
Focus: the handler is in charge of the dog. Everyone else gives the team space, and looks after its safety and the public's safety.
Learning objectives
- Say what a dog team is for, and what it is not for.
- Behave safely near a working dog, and respect the handler's control.
- Describe the welfare a working dog must have.
- Explain why a dog counts as force, and what consent a dog search needs.
- Act correctly after a bite.
