Remember, this is all a progression.  Use firm, audible commands. Don’t yell, but don’t whisper.     "It’s the reward that makes it reliable. It’s not the fear of getting corrected. The correction is how we teach that dog to understand that you must let go. Ultimately, the idea of the variable reward is what keeps them going.”  —  Jerry Bradshaw      Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com       Contact Jerry:   Website: http://controlledaggressionpodcast.com/   Tarheel Canine Training: http://www.tarheelcanine.com/   Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/tarheelcanine   Twitter: https://twitter.com/tarheelcanine   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TarheelCanineTraining   Protection Sports Website: http://psak9.org/      Train Hard, train smart, be safe.          Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie      Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions. You're the expert.
