In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:         The importance of quality decoy work in training suspect encounters.         Complex behavior chains as a story.         The critical nature of hide placement and multiple suspects.         Variations in hot searches, warm searches, and cold searches.   Key Takeaways:         The searching piece can be irrelevant if you don’t have a proper start.         Using multiple entry points makes the site a new picture for the dog.         Be systematic, use a line to create a level of boundary with the dog so you can clear the rooms closest first.         Don’t stack too many variables on top of each other. Make sure the dogs get big wins during training.         Pick the best dog that’s available for you at the time, no matter what it looks like, what breed it is, what gender it is.   "I don’t believe in one-and-done. When you’re working on building searches you must do multiple repetitions, just like when you’re doing tracking." —  Jerry Bradshaw   Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com   Contact Jerry: Website: controlledaggressionpodcast.com Tarheel Canine Training:  www.tarheelcanine.com Youtube:  tarheelcanine Twitter: @tarheelcanine Instagram: @tarheelk9 Facebook: TarheelCanineTraining Protection Sports Website:  psak9.org Patreon:   patreon.com/controlledaggression     Train Hard, train smart, be safe.     Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie
