You've probably never heard of the CHOP method.
Most working breed owners haven't.
But it's the framework behind every dog in our operational K9 division β and it's the reason our handlers can build reliable, controlled working dogs to police and military standard.
Command. Help. Ok. Play.
Four steps. Applied consistently. Every single session.
That's it. No secrets. No shortcuts. Just structured, reward-based methodology applied by people who've used it in real operational environments.
We've put the whole thing into a free guide β including the progression to COP (Command, Ok, Play) once a behaviour is learned, and how we apply both methods across protection, apprehension, and scent detection training.
π If you own a Belgian Malinois, German Shepherd, or similar working breed β this guide is for you.
