The aim of this course is to provide participants with training for the elective units for handling patrol dogs in security work.  

CPPSEC3011A (Manage Dogs for Security Functions) and CPPSEC3010A (Handle Dogs for Security Patrol) are nationally recognised units of competency from the Certificate III in Security Operations. 

This training applies to personnel who have responsibility for training, caring, handling and maintaining patrol dogs within a security function operated within an organisation. There is an industry expectation that individuals working with patrol dogs will have successfully completed these two units.

COURSE STRUCTURE

Participants enrolled in the course complete two units of competency: CPPSEC3011A - CPPSEC3010A.

The course addresses the role and responsibilities of the dog handler to perform security operations according to organisational requirements and in compliance with relevant legislation. 

Specific topics in the course include:

·                     Selecting a suitable  patrol dog

·                     Understanding the legal requirements when  working with patrol dogs

·                     Understanding the organisational requirements of a patrol dog handler

·                     Maintaining the health and welfare of a patrol dog

·                     Developing and implementing training programs for patrol dogs

·                     Conducting protection work with a patrol dog

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

All course participants must be over the age of 18 years and provide an approved dog over twelve months of age, preferably not desexed. Must be vaccinated, wormed and in good health and condition.

The assessment involves completion of written activities, the screening of dogs for security assignments, the compilation of training programs for patrol dogs and the completion of obedience training, patrol work and agitation work with patrol dogs. Assessment occurs in simulated work environments with a range of security scenarios.
