In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

• The evolution of training targeting, different target areas, and primary vs secondary targets. 
• Training bites with young puppies even before they start teething and when to start grip development. 
• When to teach drive, grip, targeting, and outs for the most success in biting behavior.
• Making the right equipment choices for the different stages of bite training.
• Progressions in targeting, why you should train rear and front targets, and how they affect launch. 

Key Takeaways:

• Tricep targeting is worth developing and is worth spending time on. 
• Take the time to learn how to work your dog on a leather strap and on a wedge during early training. Don’t expect perfection from the beginning, it is a progression. 
• If you’re doing your training properly, your dog should not have a fixation on the equipment that you can’t out them. 
• Training police dogs in biting legs can help remove hesitation and get a quicker bite on the suspects.

“Developing good targeting without developing multiple targets is a huge mistake.”  —  Jerry Bradshaw
