In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

• Understanding the progressions between redirects, recalls, and outs and returns. 
• Common mistakes made and how to correct them. 
• Avoiding unwanted stress, pressure, anticipation, and preferences during your training. 
• Repeated training and training more than what’s in certification only. 

Key Takeaways:

• Command discrimination is extremely important as it tells the dog what, exactly, you are wanting them to do. 
• You want to set the dog up for success when arranging the training sessions, including accounting for preferences that may skew their training results.
• Change up the training in some fashion when you start to see anticipation in your dog for the command. 
• If you want to build your control over your dog at distance, the e-collar can help you with that. 

“It is really important to understand, before you get into this, what is that progression – going from two decoy redirects until you get that reflex action and start adding in the get to heal position as a bridge to reward bites so that we can build the out and return nicely, and then we can start doing recalls, and so forth.” — Jerry Bradshaw
