In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:
- Being suspect of always or never statements in training.
- The art of prey guarding.
- Laying your own tracks.
- The downsides to canine demos.
Key Takeaways:
- By saying you never do defense work with puppies, you erase an entire section of training 2457
- On any given track, you will have a combination of human odor and ground disturbance. How much of each will be different depending on the type of track.
- There can be benefits to laying your own tracks, including the ability to lay more tracks than you might be able to otherwise.
- You can never predict other people’s behavior – if you are doing a demo, you want to treat your dog like any other piece of equipment like your gun or your car.
“Back when I was an academic, we used to tell students, if you see in a question ‘always’ or ‘never’ be suspect of what’s being said, because there are usually exceptions to rules. And especially in dog training, there’s usually some exceptions.” — Jerry Bradshaw
