Controlled Aggression Jerry Bradshaw

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:
More content you can get on the Controlled Aggression Patreon or in the Street Readiness Seminars to to help you problem solve with your dog. 
Luring and trading in training to build skills. 
Staying in control and not allowing your dog to self-reward. 
Leveraging every interaction with your dog.
 
Key Takeaways:
If you’re having troubles with countering - consider training outs. It may be that your dog doesn’t want to open their mouth once they get a bite. 
Don’t get too stuck in your quadrants - sometimes you have to use different aspects of negative and positive reward and punishment combined to get the behavior you’re looking for. 
Start training outs with mechanical outs. Leashes and lines are a great place to start - you don’t need to jump right in with ecollars. 
You need to be able to have handler presence for both punishments and rewards. Make sure you are the one controlling your dogs eyes. 
 
"Use the piece of equipment that’s going to get you the best results…When thinking about which tool to use, the property way to look at it is to experiment. Try one and see how it goes, then try the other and see if it is any better." —  Jerry Bradshaw

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:
Send the dog where you want them to go in upper-level control. 
Training young (and not so young) dogs away from you, not just near you. 
Using attention as a reset. 
Utilizing unconventional equipment when training your dog. 
 
Key Takeaways:
Consider training different commands for different attention and directionals to make it clear to your dog what you want from them exactly. 
You need to be able to give your dog clear feedback when they are focusing on the wrong thing. That is where the discipline comes into this process. 
Eventually, you have to generalize commands to various obstacles and decoys. 
Directionals are key in upper-level PSA and in scenarios, as they can allow you to, among other things, stop hunting behavior or send your dog in a specific direction, even if it's not the one they initially want. 
 
"Don't be in a hurry with puppies to do a lot of this directional stuff until you have all the tools to where you can actually make the dog understand what you want them to look at so we can make sure our targeting system is clean." —  Jerry Bradshaw

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:
Drills to teach your dog to give up something to get something. 
Utilizing multiple types of reinforcement to increase positive behaviors. 
Adjusting e-collar settings to change the type of pressure on the dog. 
Differences in different models of e-collars and how your dog may react to them. 
Pre-empting the mistakes that you can. 
 
Key Takeaways:
A lot of common outing mistakes have to do with e-collars and the misuse of certain functions for outing behaviors. 
Consider going lower on stimulation and longer on the taps of the e-collar rather than a high stimulation with an extremely short duration. This will change the type of pressure on the dog. 
Avoid habituating your dog to the higher levels of stimulation. These dogs are bred to fight through adversity, you don’t want to stress innoculate the dog to the e-collar pressure. 
Try a few different types of e-collars on and see which one they respond better to based on their temperament and the sharpness or bluntness of the e-collar. Experiment and see what works best with the minimum force rule. 
 
"Outs must be rewarded. No behavior will be maintained without some form of reinforcement." —  Jerry Bradshaw

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw and John Kirk discuss:
The benefits of being both a handler and a trainer. 
Societal and departmental expectations of a canine unit in a large department. 
Creating good training files for handlers and canines. 
Utilizing all of your tools appropriately.
Procedures, protocols, and manuals. 
 
Key Takeaways:
As a trainer, if your hand is off the leash for too long, it does make a difference and both the dog and your trainees will know it. 
It is equally as important for handlers and department heads to understand what a dog is capable of and what they are not capable of doing. 
As a trainer, you need to be able to speak with both the canine and the handler. 
Set up for real-world training, not just for certification training. Create challenging training that will prepare your dog for the street. 
Policing is changing, standards are becoming more stringent, and all of that needs to be communicated and supervised closely to ensure everyone stays safe. 
 
"As a trainer, I need to focus on the dog, I need to focus on any improvement that the dog needs. When it comes to training a handler, our goal is to make sure that this handler has the confidence that he needs." —  John Kirk

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:
Obedience and capping in drive. 
Leveraging reward systems and using queues in drive to prepare for capping. 
Utilizing different tools and training progressions to properly train drive. 
Drive training with different canines. 
 
Key Takeaways:
Suppressing the dog’s behavior is not obedience or capping because it isn’t channeling their energy into something. We don’t want to suppress - this creates behaviors we do not want. 
Dogs that are dirty in their outings are struggling in their drive capping. 
Don’t be scared of the expression - it should not make you nervous. But you want them to also be able to cap and be quiet. Neither should be sacrificed for the other. 
Make sure to train your dogs in all situations and around decoys in full kit. 
 
"If all we ever do when we're doing obedience on a dog is just suppress the hell out of them, then we're not doing obedience in drive, nor are we doing drive capping." —  Jerry Bradshaw
