Combat Strategies for the K9 Handler- in post production

The second Promo is out for the "Combat Strategies for the K9 Handler" DVD. Already we have received rave reviews and will be finishing post production elements in time to launch the DVD by mid November 2010.
The Program was designed for Law Enforcement, Military and Private Security K9 Handlers to better educate them on working with their dogs in a hostile environment. For Patrol, SWAT and Security dog handlers to have a better grasp on integrating their work with a support team and also being able to apply safe and reliable Control and Restraint techniques in a chaotic situation.



We made a good team-Bernhard Flinks and I

The Program was designed as a collaborated effort between myself and fellow Combatives Instructor Rondell Benjamin, and long time K9 Instructor Bernhard Flinks. It represents a merge of Combat Science as espoused by the critically acclaimed S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM™ and cutting edge Police K9 Instruction.

The S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM™ is a 'behaviorally' researched, close quarter personal defense method that utilizes the body's natural flinches and reactions to fear or violence and then converts these reactions into efficient tactical choices.

We are happy to have the support from our long time coach and Inventor of the S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM™ - Tony Blauer.

Already we have received interest for DVD's and seminars in Trinidad, Venezuela, Texas, and Hamburg. In fact I should have some promo copies when I meet my colleague Tobias Brodala later in October as he hosts me in Kiel, Germany for a Combatives seminar there.....

We'll keep you posted on this DVD when it becomes available.

Germany - Here we come

I will be in Germany with Akira in the month of October. We have decided to train some more with Bernhard Flinks and compete at one the trials in the city of Hamburg. Whilst there we will get a chance to do a mating with Fanto von der Lobdeburg. Fanto's owners Claudia and Olliver Menzel have been very gracious to invite us there again. We hope Akira produces nice puppies with Fanto.

Fanto v.d. Lobdeburg

After the trial in Trinidad with GSDCA-WDA judge Wendell Nope we realised that we need to work more on tracking as this was the major short fall in her otherwise great performance, scoring 91 in Obedience and 94 in Protection. So we are going back to the drawing board and calling on our coaches to get us ready for competition early next year.

Thanks to all our friends for the support and encouragement in our competition career so far! We hope to represent Trinidad soon at the FCI-IPO for the Americas, early next year.

A September to remember- For Schutzhund Sport!

We will have our final Qualification trial before the WUSV2010 on September 18-19, 2010 in Trinidad under GSDCA-WDA Judge Wendell Nope. Mr. Nope is highly recognised in both the Dog Sport and Law Enforcement K9 World and we look forward to having him judge our last trial to see which dogs are eligible to go to the WUSV 2010 to represent Trinidad and Tobago.
Already you can see the Trial Helpers for the WUSV 2010 in Spain HERE. So there is alot of excitement and preparation going on. We are working tirelessly to make sure we can be in Spain in October for the competition.
The possible competitors for Sch 3 include last year's WUSV participant Xito von Conneforde and I will be trying with Akira vom Försterhaus. The Trial will again be a collaborated effort between the local WUSV affiliate club - The German Shepherd Breed Club of T&T and The United Schutzhund Clubs of T&T and mark the third trial for the year that has occurred in Trinidad and Tobago which in itself is quite an achievement. In addition this trial is the first such one where dogs that wish to be considered for the WUSV Team, can participate and be judged locally. We hope this trend continues to grow so in a couple years we will have a combined total, of scores from multiple trials throughout the year so the sport of Schutzhund becomes alot more active and competitive locally.
