In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw and Mike Simons discuss: 

  • What drew him to becoming a K9 Handler. 
  • Differences in dog training from when he started and what he is anticipating now. 
  • His training adventures with K9 Aura and watching her continue to grow and become better. 
  • What makes a good K9 program. 

  

Key Takeaways: 

  • If the dog’s not ready, sometimes you have to go another route. 
  • You get what you put into training 
  • You want to make sure your dog is being handled on the street, not seeing new things every night. 
  • Learn from your dog – they can teach you as much as, if not more than, you can teach them.
