Notes on K9 Certification - Patrol Controlled Aggression

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:
Understanding the flow channel to make your dog (and you as a trainer) better. 
How handlers and trainers decide the skills to prevent to the dogs at different skill levels. 
Exceeding the requirements of certification and organizational policy in your training. 
Training tools to make for a stronger dog in operational settings. 
Setting up building searches for different scenarios, not just bite situations. 
 
Key Takeaways:
As the skill levels grow, it is important to have a challenge that fits with that skill to keep your dog engaged and involved with the training. 
Obedience for the sake of obedience is not practice. 
Obedience is the framework that provides boundaries to a dog’s behavior. 
Hands-on removal in policy doesn’t mean you don’t want to practice other releases. If you do a chokehold removal every time, it will create frustration. 
You need to train a call off with your dog. It is more than just something that is used in certification, it is a safety skill. 
 
"As your dog’s skill levels increase, you can challenge them more - you can challenge them more with scenarios, you can challenge them more with training." —  Jerry Bradshaw
