The dog having independence is a great thing, as it shows they will be less likely to fall into confusion and safety seeking behavior when they hit a challenge.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Don\u2019t repeat the problem when the dog is stressed. Get his confidence back up and a while later, ease them back into a similar situation before approaching the exact same situation.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">The fewer repetitions of the bad thing happening, the greater chance of rehabilitating the dog.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">The best way to bond with your dog is to work your dog, regardless of if you get a puppy or an older dog.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I&#8217;m more interested in that dog that&#8217;s going to go find his own satisfaction in his environment, instead of looking for me to kind of bring him through it.<\/em><em>&#8220;<\/em> \u2014\u00a0 Ben Lepinski\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Get Jerry&#8217;s book <a href= \"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Controlled-Aggression-Girard-Bradshaw\/dp\/B005D2SAQ6\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1529296853&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=COntrolled+aggression+book\"> Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Contact Ben:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bio: <a href= \"http:\/\/www.tarheelcanine.com\/2011\/09\/ben-lepinski-police-k9-instructor\/\"> http:\/\/www.tarheelcanine.com\/2011\/09\/ben-lepinski-police-k9-instructor\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Website: <a href= \"http:\/\/www.tarheelcanine.com\">www.tarheelcanine.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Instagram: <a href= \"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ben.lepinski\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ben.lepinski\/<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Patreon: <a href= \"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/Ben_Lepinski\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/Ben_Lepinski<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Contact Jerry:<\/p>\n<p>Website: <a href= \"https:\/\/controlledaggressionpodcast.com\/\">controlledaggressionpodcast.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Email: <a href= \"mailto:JBradshaw@TarheelCanine.com\">JBradshaw@TarheelCanine.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tarheel Canine Training: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tarheelcanine.com\/\">\u00a0www.tarheelcanine.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Youtube: <a href= \"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/tarheelcanine\">\u00a0tarheelcanine<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Twitter: <a href= \"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tarheelcanine\">@tarheelcanine<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Instagram: <a href= \"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tarheelk9\/\">@tarheelk9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Facebook: <a href= \"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TarheelCanineTraining\">TarheelCanineTraining<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Protection Sports Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/psak9-as.org\/\">psak9-as.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Patreon: <a href= \"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/controlledaggression\">\u00a0\u00a0patreon.com\/controlledaggression<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Slideshare: <a href= \"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/gwbradshaw12?utm_campaign=profiletracking&#038;utm_medium=sssite&#038;utm_source=ssslideview\"> Tarheel Canine<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Calendly: <a href= \"https:\/\/calendly.com\/tarheelcanine\">https:\/\/calendly.com\/tarheelcanine<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sponsors:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>ALM K9 Equipment: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.almk9equipment.com\/\">almk9equipment.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>PSA &#038; American Schutzhund: <a href=\"https:\/\/psak9-as.org\/\">psak9-as.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tarheel Canine: <a href= \"http:\/\/www.tarheelcanine.com\/\">tarheelcanine.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Superior Canine Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/superiorcanine.ca\/\">https:\/\/superiorcanine.ca\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Superior Canine Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/superiorcanineinc\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/superiorcanineinc<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Superior Canine Instagram: <a href= \"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/superiorcanineinc\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/superiorcanineinc\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Train Hard, train smart, be safe.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Audio production by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turnkeypodcast.com\/\">Turnkey Podcast Productions.<\/a> You&#8217;re the expert.
