In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

  • Why is Grip important?
  • What are firm, full and hard grips?

  • Differences and similarities between sport dog and police dog grip training.

Key Takeaways:

  • Use opposition reflex training as part of teaching grip.
  • Don’t let your dog develop bad griping habits.
