In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw and Aaron Kemp discuss: 

• What it takes to run a dog training business. 
• The sacrifices needed to start and run a successful business in the first five years. 
• Handling dogs with fear aggression. 
• Reintroducing the newly trained dog with their owner. 

Key Takeaways: 

• Bonding with the dog before training them makes it so much easier, especially if there is aggression. 
• Dogs want predictability in their environment. As trainers, you can create that for them. 
• Tackle on stimuli one at a time, don’t just overload an anxious, stressed dog with fear aggression. 
• You need a lot of positive interactions, trust building, and exposures to work with fear aggression. It’s not impossible, but it does take commitment. 

“The importance of bonding with the dog and getting that relationship really can’t be understated.” —  Aaron Kemp

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: 

• Techniques and tools for teaching puppies proper biting. 
• Obedience work and neutrality for sport dogs versus police dogs. 
• Training outs and recalls with and without equipment or contact. 
• Balancing precision and coverage in detection with off-leash detection. 

Key Takeaways: 

• Every puppy is different and what you do for training in the first year is dependent on the puppy. 
• Teach young dogs how to hunt. Let them express their hunt drive and be willing to work it. 
• There is nothing wrong with having extra heeling behaviors in your pocket for different situations. 
• Not everything in dog training is all or nothing.  

“Dog training is not religion. It’s not the same for every single dog.” —  Jerry Bradshaw

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

• The growth of PSA internationally and an update on upcoming events.
• The future of protection training and sports with changes in international law due to organizations such as PETA.
• Recommendations for solo training and those without access to clubs.
• Creating a PSA club culture for the best outcomes for handlers, dogs, and decoys.

Key Takeaways:

• We need an international meeting of the worlds best known trainers to come together and make a position statement to preserve the right to train dogs effectively and efficiently.
• Dogs need limits and corrections. High level working dogs, and pet dogs, need limits set on their lives.
• Train the dog that’s in front of you, don’t hold out for the podium dog.
• Don’t rush, especially when things are complicated.

“You have to read the rulebook and understand the rulebook and understand where the latitude exists for things to be done a little bit differently. That’s where you can come up with interesting scenarios; that’s where judges come up with interesting scenarios.” —  Jerry Bradshaw
