In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

• Understanding the basic biting principles. 
• Creating neutrality to the equipment and distractions. 
• The importance of understanding civil work. 
• Human focused confrontation solved through biting. 
• Training progressions in civil and bite work. 

 

 

Key Takeaways:

• We want to teach the dogs in their basic foundation how they can win even when they get pushed into defense. 
• Be more obsessed with the dog's mood and how he is dealing with confrontation than you are with the biting behavior. 
• You have to show the dog how to work in defense in training or you may fail in an actual human encounter because they may not understand the real goal. 
• When your dog is struggling with passive biting, that says that your foundation is off somewhere. 

 

"That's kind of the goal - we want the dog thinking about the confrontation with the man, not thinking about the equipment, and not thinking about what he's going to be biting." —  Jerry Bradshaw
