In this episode, I sit down with Oscar Mora, founder of Elevated Canine Academy, to break down what it really takes to train dogs at a high level—whether you’re working with pet dogs, sport dogs, or protection dogs.
Oscar has been training since 2009 and is certified as a Schutzhund helper, French Ring decoy, and Mondio Ring decoy. He’s a three-time Southwest Region IGP Champion and has traveled across the United States, Mexico, and Australia teaching seminars to handlers at every level.
In this conversation, we cover:
• The difference between a training decoy and a trial decoy
• How to properly build drive in bite work
• Teaching a clean and reliable out without reducing intensity
• The balance required for high-level obedience and performance
• Real-world case studies from Oscar’s training experience
• The difference between understanding the science vs mastering the art of dog training
• Mistakes we made early on and what we would do differently today
• Oscar’s long-term vision for building a professional dog training school
This episode is packed with practical insight for anyone serious about dog training, protection sports, obedience, and canine performance.
