🧠 What Is Bite Work?
Bite work is a special type of training where your dog learns how to target, bite, and release safely and on command.
This kind of training teaches your dog to:
- 🛑 Stay calm under stress
- 💥 Act fast when needed
- 🦷 Use their bite only on command
- 🐕🦺 Be brave, not wild!
At https://protectiondogss.com, we use bite work as part of our advanced personal, family, estate, and executive protection dog programs.
🧱 The 3 Pillars of Bite Work
To make sure bite work is safe and effective, we build it on 3 key skills:
| Pillar | What It Means | How We Teach It |
|---|---|---|
| 💬 Obedience | Your dog listens 100%, even in chaos | Command foundation + praise ✅ |
| 🎯 Targeting | Dog learns to go for the right spot | Sleeve, suit, hidden arm 👕 |
| 🧘 Control | Bite and release on command | “Out” is king 🗣️ |
With these three pieces, bite work becomes a life-saving skill, not a risk.
