In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

•         The mechanics of a good bite.
•         Picking the correct sleeves for the level of the dog.
•         How a sleeve can be used in other types of training.
•         Getting the correct equipment, even if it is means going to different manufacturers to get the different types of equipment.

 

Key Takeaways:

•         Dogs that are taught to push, instead of pull, when encountering stress are going to be more successful in a street fight.
•         Everything is a piece of equipment – sleeves, bite suits, hidden sleeves, etc.
•         As a trainer, be aware of where the dog needs to start and don’t go backwards in your progressions.
•         Make the problem of where to bite easier for the dog to avoid choice paralysis - don’t be in a hurry to get on a bite suit if the dog’s not ready yet.
