In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

• Pros and cons of different types of leads, harness, and halters.
• Growing your small business and selling to law enforcement.
• How social media has changed the dog training industry and the view of those training in the industry.
• Following an individualized training program for every dog.

Key Takeaways:

• Don’t make generalizations about male versus female dogs. Look at each dog, and their temperament, individually as they can vary between dogs.
• Put yourself out there to get visibility, even if it means offering free training at appropriate times.
• You have to work the dog in drive that is most in evidence first.
• Get out there, do the work, every day. Get your repetitions in.

“The fact of the matter is, the longer you are in this field, the more you realize what you actually don’t know and how much more you really want to know.” —  Jerry Bradshaw

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: 

• Crossover effects for puppies and police dog training. 
• Balancing giving attention to the dog with creating independence. 
• Distance work versus safety-seeking and teaching independence. 
• Finding a balance between go and stop, with more bias toward the action of go. 

Key Takeaways: 

• The dog should get attention when it works and does something productive, not just because it is seeking attention. 
• Bias to attention not action can form through too much obedience training. 
• Value distance work don’t just train your dog to safety seek. 
• Without balance, you will create unintended crossover effects. Balance is the key.
