Program Development: 
The Dangerous Dog Defense Certification Course© was designed and developed to provide a realistic and proven
protection, field training system for employees who in the course of their employment are subject to the potential attack of a
dog, animal, or physically combative violent person.
Course
Profile: A “four hour certification training
program” designed and developed with backed in court certification
implemented specifically for company employees who are risk
of confronting dangerous dogs and animals. Various use and
applications include: Expandable Dangerous Dog Bite Blocker™
& DPS Extreme Range OC Defense Spray. These will
be extensively instructed when Field Service personnel are
confronted with high threat dangerous dog or subject conditions.
This progressive and proven certification course provides
all equipment and training designed to protect Field Service
Personnel from dog or animal attack as well as reduce potentially
costly workman compensation claims.
Topics
Covered Include:
- Recognition and identification of dangerous dog behaviors
including: dominant, predatory and offensive posturing.
- Positive, proven pre-post engagement techniques and tactics
when confronting potentially dangerous dogs and key de-escalation
methods from dangerous persons.
- Specific hands-on training techniques with the Dangerous
Dog Bite Blocker™ and/or OC Extreme Range® Defense
Spray during dangerous encounters with dogs and escaping from
physically combative persons.
- Written exam & documentation procedures for reports & court.
Liability Issues: Avoidance and Prevention
This program was created in conjunction with the legal department of a leading Power Company to specifically address
potential company liability issues. The course is designed and provides strict user policy guidelines to limit the application
of the equipment to those situations where the employee is in imminent danger of serious bodily harm. The primary focus
of this course is on awareness, recognition and avoidance, most importantly this system provides field proven and lawful
employee physical protection when the attack does occur.
Practical, Retention-Based Self Defense:
Defensive methods and techniques as well as the use of specific equipment are taught as a final resort where no other
option is available to the employee. The main purpose of the Dangerous Dog Bite Blocker™ is not to harm or injure, but
to offer the attacking animal an object to receive its bite while causing it sufficient discomfort to dissuade it from biting
again. The DPS Extreme Range® (17 & 20’), ballistic stream OC defense spray is specifically designed to be more effective
against animals and subjects than other low power, short range sprays currently on the market. Although uncomfortable
and irritating, there have been no reports of dogs being permanently injured or harmed by the spray. It is easily removed
by washing the dog with water and liquid dish soap, such as Dawn® or other non-oily based soap. Decontamination is
thoroughly instructed.
Notification:
In the event the employee is attacked or has been required to use the Dangerous Dog Bite Blocker™ or DPS Extreme
Range® OC Defense Spray, notification and reporting procedures are included in the course training, including immediate
notification to the Company and proper law enforcement or animal control authorities.
Expert Witness Testimony:
In the event that your company is a named defendant in any lawsuit arising out of a certified employee’s proper use of our
training tactics or equipment, filed in a court of competent jurisdiction within the United States, TJA Use of Force Training,
Inc. will provide its 26 years of expert witness testimony, as to its course content, training methods, procedures, and
certification process, at no fee to your company (other than reasonable travel expenses).
