  • Problem Solving: Countering, Grip, Outs, and Neutrality

    Problem Solving: Countering, Grip, Outs, and Neutrality
    Jun 28 2024
    In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: More content you can get on the Controlled Aggression Patreon or in the Street Readiness Seminars to to help you problem solve with your dog. Luring and trading in training to build skills. Staying in control and not allowing your dog to self-reward. Leveraging every interaction with your dog. Key Takeaways: If you’re having troubles with countering - consider training outs. It may be that your dog doesn’t want to open their mouth once they get a bite. Don’t get too stuck in your quadrants - sometimes you have to use different aspects of negative and positive reward and punishment combined to get the behavior you’re looking for. Start training outs with mechanical outs. Leashes and lines are a great place to start - you don’t need to jump right in with ecollars. You need to be able to have handler presence for both punishments and rewards. Make sure you are the one controlling your dogs eyes. "Use the piece of equipment that’s going to get you the best results…When thinking about which tool to use, the property way to look at it is to experiment. Try one and see how it goes, then try the other and see if it is any better." — Jerry Bradshaw Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com Contact Jerry: Website: controlledaggressionpodcast.com Email: JBradshaw@TarheelCanine.com Tarheel Canine Training: www.tarheelcanine.com Youtube: tarheelcanine Twitter: @tarheelcanine Instagram: @tarheelk9 Facebook: TarheelCanineTraining Protection Sports Website: psak9-as.org Patreon: patreon.com/controlledaggression Slideshare: Tarheel Canine Calendly: https://calendly.com/tarheelcanine Tarheel Canine Seminars: https://streetreadyk9.com/ Tarheel Canine Student Portal: https://tcstudentportal.com/ Sponsors: ALM K9 Equipment: almk9equipment.com PSA & American Schutzhund: psak9-as.org Tarheel Canine: tarheelcanine.com Superior Canine Website: https://superiorcanine.ca/ Aaron’s Superior Canine Email: aaron@superiorcanine.ca Superior Canine Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/superiorcanineinc Superior Canine Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/superiorcanineinc/ The Drive Company: https://thedriveco.com/ The Drive Company Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedrive.co Find out more about Hold The Line Conference 2024 at https://htlk9.com/ Train Hard, train smart, be safe.

  • Directionals and Casting

    Directionals and Casting
    Apr 25 2024

    In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

    • Send the dog where you want them to go in upper-level control.

    • Training young (and not so young) dogs away from you, not just near you.

    • Using attention as a reset.

    • Utilizing unconventional equipment when training your dog.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Consider training different commands for different attention and directionals to make it clear to your dog what you want from them exactly.

    • You need to be able to give your dog clear feedback when they are focusing on the wrong thing. That is where the discipline comes into this process.

    • Eventually, you have to generalize commands to various obstacles and decoys.

    • Directionals are key in upper-level PSA and in scenarios, as they can allow you to, among other things, stop hunting behavior or send your dog in a specific direction, even if it's not the one they initially want.

    "Don't be in a hurry with puppies to do a lot of this directional stuff until you have all the tools to where you can actually make the dog understand what you want them to look at so we can make sure our targeting system is clean." — Jerry Bradshaw

  • Ten Common Outing Mistakes

    Ten Common Outing Mistakes
    Feb 29 2024

    In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

    • Drills to teach your dog to give up something to get something.

    • Utilizing multiple types of reinforcement to increase positive behaviors.

    • Adjusting e-collar settings to change the type of pressure on the dog.

    • Differences in different models of e-collars and how your dog may react to them.

    • Pre-empting the mistakes that you can.

    Key Takeaways:

    • A lot of common outing mistakes have to do with e-collars and the misuse of certain functions for outing behaviors.

    • Consider going lower on stimulation and longer on the taps of the e-collar rather than a high stimulation with an extremely short duration. This will change the type of pressure on the dog.

    • Avoid habituating your dog to the higher levels of stimulation. These dogs are bred to fight through adversity, you don’t want to stress innoculate the dog to the e-collar pressure.

    • Try a few different types of e-collars on and see which one they respond better to based on their temperament and the sharpness or bluntness of the e-collar. Experiment and see what works best with the minimum force rule.

    "Outs must be rewarded. No behavior will be maintained without some form of reinforcement." — Jerry Bradshaw

  • The Role of a Departmental Canine Trainer with John Kirk

    The Role of a Departmental Canine Trainer with John Kirk
    Jan 4 2024
    In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw and John Kirk discuss: The benefits of being both a handler and a trainer. Societal and departmental expectations of a canine unit in a large department. Creating good training files for handlers and canines. Utilizing all of your tools appropriately. Procedures, protocols, and manuals. Key Takeaways: As a trainer, if your hand is off the leash for too long, it does make a difference and both the dog and your trainees will know it. It is equally as important for handlers and department heads to understand what a dog is capable of and what they are not capable of doing. As a trainer, you need to be able to speak with both the canine and the handler. Set up for real-world training, not just for certification training. Create challenging training that will prepare your dog for the street. Policing is changing, standards are becoming more stringent, and all of that needs to be communicated and supervised closely to ensure everyone stays safe. "As a trainer, I need to focus on the dog, I need to focus on any improvement that the dog needs. When it comes to training a handler, our goal is to make sure that this handler has the confidence that he needs." — John Kirk Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com Contact Jerry: Website: controlledaggressionpodcast.com Email: JBradshaw@TarheelCanine.com Tarheel Canine Training: www.tarheelcanine.com Youtube: tarheelcanine Twitter: @tarheelcanine Instagram: @tarheelk9 Facebook: TarheelCanineTraining Protection Sports Website: psak9-as.org Patreon: patreon.com/controlledaggression Slideshare: Tarheel Canine Calendly: https://calendly.com/tarheelcanine Tarheel Canine Seminars: https://streetreadyk9.com/ Tarheel Canine Student Portal: https://tcstudentportal.com/ Sponsors: ALM K9 Equipment: almk9equipment.com PSA & American Schutzhund: psak9-as.org Tarheel Canine: tarheelcanine.com Superior Canine Website: https://superiorcanine.ca/ Aaron’s Superior Canine Email: aaron@superiorcanine.ca Superior Canine Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/superiorcanineinc Superior Canine Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/superiorcanineinc/ The Drive Company: https://thedriveco.com/ The Drive Company Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedrive.co Find out more about Hold The Line Conference 2024 at https://htlk9.com/ Train Hard, train smart, be safe.

  • Mechanics and Applications of Drive Capping

    Mechanics and Applications of Drive Capping
    Dec 7 2023
    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 Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com Episode References: The Companion Dog Podcast - https://losthighwaykennels.com/podcast/ The Working Dog Depot Podcast - https://www.doublehcanine.com/the-working-dog-depot Controlled Aggression - Defensive Dogs in Protection Detection Blueprint Restraining Canine Drives Contact Jerry: Website: controlledaggressionpodcast.com Email: JBradshaw@TarheelCanine.com Tarheel Canine Training: www.tarheelcanine.com Youtube: tarheelcanine Twitter: @tarheelcanine Instagram: @tarheelk9 Facebook: TarheelCanineTraining Protection Sports Website: psak9-as.org Patreon: patreon.com/controlledaggression Slideshare: Tarheel Canine Calendly: https://calendly.com/tarheelcanine Tarheel Canine Seminars: https://streetreadyk9.com/ Sponsors: ALM K9 Equipment: almk9equipment.com PSA & American Schutzhund: psak9-as.org Tarheel Canine: tarheelcanine.com Superior Canine Website: https://superiorcanine.ca/ Aaron’s Superior Canine Email: aaron@superiorcanine.ca Superior Canine Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/superiorcanineinc Superior Canine Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/superiorcanineinc/ The Drive Company: https://thedriveco.com/ The Drive Company Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedrive.co Find out more about Hold The Line Conference 2024 at https://htlk9.com/ Train Hard, train smart, be safe.

  • Preparing for PSA 1 Nationals 2023

    Preparing for PSA 1 Nationals 2023
    Oct 19 2023

    In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

    • Developing training rituals that translate to travel and trial.

    • Basic positions and notifying judges in basic position variations.

    • What judges are looking for and the difference between minor errors and larger point losses.

    • Why consistency, speed, directness, and attention matter during your trail.

    Key Takeaways:

    • One of the first things the judge looks for is if your dog is coming onto the field in the right state of mind. As the handler or spotter, you want to be aware of how you are presenting yourself as well.

    • Any time words come out of your mouth, they matter. You do not want to be giving double commands when you’re getting started.

    • Don’t make handler errors when it isn’t necessary.

    • Footwork drives what your upper body does. You want your dog to be able to read your body language.

  • Notes on K9 Certification - Patrol

    Notes on K9 Certification - Patrol
    Sep 14 2023
    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 Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com Contact Jerry: Website: controlledaggressionpodcast.com Email: JBradshaw@TarheelCanine.com Tarheel Canine Training: www.tarheelcanine.com Youtube: tarheelcanine Twitter: @tarheelcanine Instagram: @tarheelk9 Facebook: TarheelCanineTraining Protection Sports Website: psak9-as.org Patreon: patreon.com/controlledaggression Slideshare: Tarheel Canine Calendly: https://calendly.com/tarheelcanine Tarheel Canine Seminars: https://streetreadyk9.com/ Sponsors: ALM K9 Equipment: almk9equipment.com PSA & American Schutzhund: psak9-as.org Tarheel Canine: tarheelcanine.com Superior Canine Website: https://superiorcanine.ca/ Aaron’s Superior Canine Email: aaron@superiorcanine.ca Superior Canine Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/superiorcanineinc Superior Canine Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/superiorcanineinc/ That Scent Dog Box: https://www.thatscentdogbox.com/ That Scent Dog Box Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thatscentdogbox/ That Scent Dog Box Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thatscentdogbox/ That Scent Dog Box TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thatscentdogbox Hold the Line Conference: https://www.htlk9.com/ Train Hard, train smart, be safe.
