\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:\u00a0<\/p>\n
-Having a system in place for training protection.<\/p>\n
-What goes into the foundation of protection for your baseline to build skills.<\/p>\n
-What to look for in a dog in temperament evaluation, including sociability, drives, hardness, focus, and attention span.<\/p>\n
-The defense margin and avoiding avoidance and displacement behavior.<\/p>\n
-The importance of targeting the bite.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Key Takeaways:\u00a0<\/p>\n
-Don\u2019t race through your foundation just to get to skills.<\/p>\n
-You need to know what your end goal is when going into training.<\/p>\n
-Start your training in the dog\u2019s strongest natural drive.<\/p>\n
-Proximity is a big part of threat \u2013 if it\u2019s not close, it\u2019s not a threat.<\/p>\n
-Fights ebb and flow, the dog needs to be able to flow from defense to prey because that\u2019s when he fully learns.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It doesn\u2019t really matter whether you\u2019re training an IPO dog, or a PSA dog, or a police dog, the foundational work you must do in order to have a well-developed protection dog is pretty much the same.”\u00a0<\/em>\u2014\u00a0 Jerry Bradshaw\u00a0<\/p>\n \u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n Get Jerry’s book\u00a0Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n \u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n Contact Jerry:\u00a0<\/p>\n Website:\u00a0https:\/\/controlledaggressionpodcast.com\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n Tarheel Canine Training:\u00a0http:\/\/www.tarheelcanine.com\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n Youtube:\u00a0http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/tarheelcanine<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n Twitter:\u00a0https:\/\/twitter.com\/tarheelcanine<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n Facebook:\u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TarheelCanineTraining<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n Protection Sports Website:\u00a0http:\/\/psak9.org\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n
