In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: Crossover effects for puppies and police dog training. Balancing giving attention to the dog with creating independence. Distance work versus safety-seeking and teaching independence. Finding a balance between go and stop, with more bias toward the action of go. Key Takeaways: The dog should get attention when it works and does something productive, not just because it is seeking attention. Bias to attention not action can form through too much obedience training. Value distance work don’t just train your dog to safety seek. Without balance, you will create unintended crossover effects. Balance is the key.
