In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

• Why is Grip important?
• What are firm, full and hard grips?
• How does progressive resistance work on grip?
• Differences and similarities between sport dog and police dog grip training.

Key Takeaways:

• When a police dog bites you it is shocking and will help bring someone down.
• Environment/Training matters when training a dog to grip, not just "genetics."
• Use opposition reflex training as part of teaching grip.
• Don't let your dog develop bad griping habits.

 

"When the dog feels the burning in his mouth he wants to take the first opportunity to get to a better grip position." —  Jerry Bradshaw
