Police K9 Talk, Listener Questions, and Observations

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
