In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

Obedience and capping in drive.
Leveraging reward systems and using queues in drive to prepare for capping.
Utilizing different tools and training progressions to properly train drive.
Drive training with different canines.

Key Takeaways:

Suppressing the dog’s behavior is not obedience or capping because it isn’t channeling their energy into something. We don’t want to suppress - this creates behaviors we do not want.
Dogs that are dirty in their outings are struggling in their drive capping.
Don’t be scared of the expression - it should not make you nervous. But you want them to also be able to cap and be quiet. Neither should be sacrificed for the other.
Make sure to train your dogs in all situations and around decoys in full kit.

"If all we ever do when we're doing obedience on a dog is just suppress the hell out of them, then we're not doing obedience in drive, nor are we doing drive capping." — Jerry Bradshaw
