Problem Solving: Countering, Grip, Outs, and Neutrality

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

• More content you can get on the Controlled Aggression Patreon or in the Street Readiness Seminars to to help you problem solve with your dog. 

• Luring and trading in training to build skills. 

• Staying in control and not allowing your dog to self-reward. 

• Leveraging every interaction with your dog.

 

Key Takeaways:

• If you’re having troubles with countering - consider training outs. It may be that your dog doesn’t want to open their mouth once they get a bite. 

• Don’t get too stuck in your quadrants - sometimes you have to use different aspects of negative and positive reward and punishment combined to get the behavior you’re looking for. 

• Start training outs with mechanical outs. Leashes and lines are a great place to start - you don’t need to jump right in with ecollars. 

• You need to be able to have handler presence for both punishments and rewards. Make sure you are the one controlling your dogs eyes. 

 

"Use the piece of equipment that’s going to get you the best results…When thinking about which tool to use, the property way to look at it is to experiment. Try one and see how it goes, then try the other and see if it is any better." —  Jerry Bradshaw
