Episode description
In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:
-
Understanding the flow channel to make your dog (and you as a trainer) better.
-
How handlers and trainers decide the skills to prevent to the dogs at different skill levels.
-
Exceeding the requirements of certification and organizational policy in your training.
-
Training tools to make for a stronger dog in operational settings.
-
Setting up building searches for different scenarios, not just bite situations.
Key Takeaways:
-
As the skill levels grow, it is important to have a challenge that fits with that skill to keep your dog engaged and involved with the training.
-
Obedience for the sake of obedience is not practice.
-
Obedience is the framework that provides boundaries to a dog’s behavior.
-
Hands-on removal in policy doesn’t mean you don’t want to practice other releases. If you do a chokehold removal every time, it will create frustration.
-
You need to train a call off with your dog. It is more than just something that is used in certification, it is a safety skill.
"As your dog’s skill levels increase, you can challenge them more - you can challenge them more with scenarios, you can challenge them more with training." — Jerry Bradshaw
