In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:
- The mechanics of a good bite.
- Picking the correct sleeves for the level of the dog.
- How a sleeve can be used in other types of training.
- Getting the correct equipment, even if it is means going to different manufacturers to get the different types of equipment.
Key Takeaways:
- Dogs that are taught to push, instead of pull, when encountering stress are going to be more successful in a street fight.
- Everything is a piece of equipment – sleeves, bite suits, hidden sleeves, etc.
- As a trainer, be aware of where the dog needs to start and don’t go backwards in your progressions.
- Make the problem of where to bite easier for the dog to avoid choice paralysis – don’t be in a hurry to get on a bite suit if the dog’s not ready yet.
“Sleeves are designed to teach the mechanics of biting.” — Jerry Bradshaw
