Work Your Pack

The dog training industry has gone far too long without a comprehensive, fundamental video decoy course that is informative, entertaining and focused on the detail aspects of building dogs in bitework. This is exactly what we needed, thanks Ben and Chris for all your hard work in making this course a reality, a truly affordable, accessible and well put together course! Highly recommend!

If you want a comprehensive approach to decoy fundamentals, this is your course.

I am newly into bite work / decoying and absolutely enamoured by it. This Decoy Elements course is a bundle of clarity and fun to watch. I am very grateful that this course exists, thank you for sharing your knowledge for us like minded dog nerds. Keep it coming!!

Decoy elements is true to it's name. This course gives you the hows and whys to the fundamental elements of decoying. It is informative, entertaining and gives a solid structure to allow you to grow as a decoy. A new decoy can have a basis to grow from and an experience decoy can have a language to teach newer decoys and handlers how to get the most oout of their dog. I highly recommend.

Embarking on the "Decoy Elements" course was akin to throwing on a bite suit and doing a cartwheel into a kennel of methed-out Malinois. From the moment I hit play, I was ensnared—much like a rookie decoy facing a seasoned K9—with content so gripping it made a Dutch Shepherd's bite seem like a gentle nibble.​ Ben Lepinski, the maestro behind this symphony of controlled chaos, guides you through the art of decoying with the precision of a handler navigating a minefield of squeaky toys. His approach to bite work progressions is so scaffolded that even a one-legged hobo with delusions of grandeur could ascend to the ranks of a formidable decoy. The course meticulously dissects grip mechanics, targeting, and drive channeling, ensuring that by the end, you're not just a moving chew toy but a bona fide architect of canine combat choreography.​ The "Bite Work Pyramid of Greatness" introduced in the course is nothing short of a revelation. It's as if Maslow had a murderous Malinois and decided to map out the hierarchy of a K9's primal needs. Understanding this pyramid is crucial; without it, attempting to decoy would be like bringing an IGP stick hit to a gunfight. The course expertly dissects grip mechanics, targeting, and drive channeling, ensuring that by the end, you’ll possess an encyclopedic understanding of grips—likely far superior to your understanding of taxes or healthy relationships. The modules covering back ties, post-ups, and drag-ins are so immersive that I found myself reflexively assuming defensive stances whenever I heard dogs barking in the distance. In conclusion, "Decoy Elements" is the magnum opus for anyone daring enough to step into the exhilarating world of K9 decoying. It's comprehensive, wildly engaging, and delivered with humor that keeps you on the edge of your seat—much like a decoy anticipating impact. Whether you're a seasoned handler, a rookie trainer, or just someone tired of having functional shoulders and knees, this course is your ticket to decoying glory.
