In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

• The growth of PSA internationally and an update on upcoming events.
• The future of protection training and sports with changes in international law due to organizations such as PETA.
• Recommendations for solo training and those without access to clubs.
• Creating a PSA club culture for the best outcomes for handlers, dogs, and decoys.

 

Key Takeaways:

• We need an international meeting of the worlds best known trainers to come together and make a position statement to preserve the right to train dogs effectively and efficiently.
• Dogs need limits and corrections. High level working dogs, and pet dogs, need limits set on their lives.
• Train the dog that’s in front of you, don’t hold out for the podium dog.
• Don’t rush, especially when things are complicated.

 

"You have to read the rulebook and understand the rulebook and understand where the latitude exists for things to be done a little bit differently. That’s where you can come up with interesting scenarios; that’s where judges come up with interesting scenarios." —  Jerry Bradshaw
