KatzK9 provides a structured decoy development program for individuals who want to learn the art and responsibility of working as a protection sport decoy. Whether you’re brand new or looking to refine your technique, our program gives you the foundation, coaching, and safe environment to grow into this critical role.
Being a decoy is about far more than taking bites, it’s about reading dogs, applying pressure correctly, and shaping behavior while keeping safety first. At KatzK9, participants learn proper mechanics, timing, targeting, and drive channeling under the guidance of experienced trainers. Our decoy development focuses on practical skills that transfer to PSA K9, K9 Street League, and other bite sports, preparing you to support both dogs and handlers in trial and training scenarios. This program is ideal for those passionate about working dogs who want to become an integral part of the sport and the training process.
