Redirected Bites

 

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

• What redirects are and practical uses for redirects in sport and work
• The importance of planning properly
• What to expect from the dog as you are starting as your dog becomes more proficient with the skill
• What to watch out for during the exercise to avoid anticipation

 

Key Takeaways:

• Redirects are a precursor to out and return as well as the recall/call-off command
• Do rewards in heel position as much as possible
• Training is not about an “always” or “never”, things can change based on the scenario
• Don’t be in such a hurry to get rid of the leash, it can be a great training tool

 

"It’s a process of successive approximation. Don’t get worried if the dog doesn’t do it perfectly the first time." —  Jerry Bradshaw
