Episode description
In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:
- Understanding the basic biting principles.
- Creating neutrality to the equipment and distractions.
- The importance of understanding civil work.
- Human focused confrontation solved through biting.
- Training progressions in civil and bite work.
Key Takeaways:
- We want to teach the dogs in their basic foundation how they can win even when they get pushed into defense.
- Be more obsessed with the dog's mood and how he is dealing with confrontation than you are with the biting behavior.
- You have to show the dog how to work in defense in training or you may fail in an actual human encounter because they may not understand the real goal.
- When your dog is struggling with passive biting, that says that your foundation is off somewhere.
"That's kind of the goal - we want the dog thinking about the confrontation with the man, not thinking about the equipment, and not thinking about what he's going to be biting." — Jerry Bradshaw
