In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: Why to train targeting in police dogs. Using fendeds in training. Training secondary targets. How to decoy the dog while training targeting and fendeds.   Key Takeaways: Create a dog that has a habit to bite in a place and doesn’t have to make decisions at the last minute. Be patient when teaching secondary targets – the dog will often not recognize it as a target at first. Repetition is the key – the dog will get faster, more confident, and more fluid the more you practice. Notate the targeting training in your training records.   "We are trying to create a dog that doesn’t think when he comes in for a bite. What we are trying to do is create a muscle memory habit in the dog." —  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   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
