In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

• Having a system of training you are going to embrace.
• Understanding the dance between dog and decoy.
• Keep an eye toward your goal during training.
• The power of experience and questions in education.
• Knowing and understanding your framework.

 

Key Takeaways:

• Have a system with which to train your dog, don’t just rely on mimicry.
• Understand the system you’re going to retrain your dog in before starting the training.
• Consider changing the language your dog is trained in when you go back to the basics.
• There’s nothing wrong with starting over with your dog, even if the dog is a bit older 
• Develop a framework for your obedience and keep it simple at first. It doesn’t have to be super complicated.

 

"Being a student is not a passive enterprise. It is incumbent upon the student to be a part of the education process." —  Jerry Bradshaw
