In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: Send the dog where you want them to go in upper-level control. Training young (and not so young) dogs away from you, not just near you. Using attention as a reset. Utilizing unconventional equipment when training your dog. Key Takeaways: Consider training different commands for different attention and directionals to make it clear to your dog what you want from them exactly. You need to be able to give your dog clear feedback when they are focusing on the wrong thing. That is where the discipline comes into this process. Eventually, you have to generalize commands to various obstacles and decoys. Directionals are key in upper-level PSA and in scenarios, as they can allow you to, among other things, stop hunting behavior or send your dog in a specific direction, even if it's not the one they initially want. "Don't be in a hurry with puppies to do a lot of this directional stuff until you have all the tools to where you can actually make the dog understand what you want them to look at so we can make sure our targeting system is clean." — Jerry Bradshaw Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com Contact Jerry: Website: controlledaggressionpodcast.com Email:
