- Canine Force; "hard" - This is a level where soft tissue damage is expected to slow counter attack and pain to lower predator's moral.
- Canine Force (ranged); Mostly this is an experimental attempt to recreate what happens to wearers of Ballistic vests when hit by bullets, this attempts to slow down the predator by overtly doing both knock down and soft tissue damage to damage predators moral and actively interfere with the predators attempt to carry out their own attack.
- Force of Restraint (Arresting); Illegal use of this level of force is considered kidnapping, legal would be both citizens and LEO arrest, well as medical restraint of the medically designated "incompetent" and "threat to self and others". See; "closet paradigm" below.

CLOSET PARADIGM; Restraint in the force spectrum is odd that it is in two places depending on purposes. this Paradigm has you visualize two persons and a closet one person, the restrainer, standing in the door to the closet facing the other the restrained.
This can be done two ways one with the restrainer facing outward and the other with the restrainer facing inward.
A. Facing outward the restrainer keeps the restrained out of the closet. Whether the restrainer is standing in the door using their body to keep them out or simply closes the door, the restrained has the whole rest of the world to move around in.
B. Facing inward this becomes a serious issue, as once again whether using the retainer's body or closing the door the restrained is now Trapped and at the Restrainers mercy, you face the issues of either the rules of arrest for LEO or citizens, kidnapping, medical restraint, or active defence of self or others. Slamming the door of a closet and jamming it closed on a blade wielding active predator would be considered the height of wisdom, so long as you called for assistance in pacifying and releasing the hazardous person[Law Enforcemnt Officers suggested as a neutral party].
