ABOUT

THE ATLANTA DECOY SCHOOL

The Atlanta Decoy School (ADS) is an accredited training program helping interested people of all ages and skill levels conveniently and affordably learn about the art and science of protection dog training for the decoy. Our reason for existing is the teaching and promotion of traditional decoy theory as a codified martial art for K9 combat. Our students benefit from a comprehensive training program developed by certified sport and police decoys for the novice that can be personalized, managed, measured and actually practiced.  

 

Personally study under certified decoys of authentic lineage.

The Atlanta Decoy School has developed an enriching and personalized state-of-the-art curriculum using a scientifically developed and trademarked curriculum developed to help our students build a more dynamic perspective on the role they play as a K9 helper, while learning practical skills for their future work as decoys. The Atlanta Decoy School is currently accepting students from around the world who wish to learn the art and science of decoy work.
