Direct v. Indirect Detection Protocols

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:         What to look for in a detection dog.         Benefits of teaching hunting first.         Eyeing detection washouts earlier with direct reward systems.         Understanding action patterns and how they fit into detection training.   Key Takeaways:         The hunting drive should be of primary importance.         Build the action pattern strongly, final response is an obedience pattern that can be taught later.         A stop and stare is going to degrade.         When working a large quantity of dogs, not all are going to be the 1% unicorn dogs.   "If you want to develop the best possible hunting, you really have to focus on developing the best possible action pattern." —  Jerry Bradshaw   Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com   Contact Jerry: Website: http://controlledaggressionpodcast.com/ Tarheel Canine Training: http://www.tarheelcanine.com/ Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/tarheelcanine Twitter: https://twitter.com/tarheelcanine Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tarheelk9/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TarheelCanineTraining Protection Sports Website: http://psak9.org/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ControlledAggressionPodcast/creators & https://www.patreon.com/user/overview?u=12751896 Article: Direct v.
