In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:  Behavioral issues and dominance aggression.   How failing dogs repeatedly drives up the cost of dogs.  Avoiding confrontations.  Tips and tricks for dealing with different types of dominance aggression.     Key Takeaways:  Behavioral problems can take times to manifest, you likely won’t see them in the kennel environment.  Every police dog is just a dog – they don’t have a special god status, they are just a dog.  Forget about being alpha. Your dog doesn’t relate to you as a dog.  Stay levelheaded when dealing with a dominant dog, don’t take it personally, reward the dog when they comply.      "Gain respect from the dog using your brain not your hands." —  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.
