Description
In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: Starting a successful PSA club in your area that is good and healthy for trainers and canines. Pros and cons of the two types of clubs you can run - democracy or top-down leadership. The role of training directors and decoys within a PSA club. Attending club, learning in seminars, following progressions, and learning from those who have had success in the sport you are pursuing. Key Takeaways: Any place where people get together and share a passion, you will find certain types of conflicts. New members will always need more guidance than a more experienced member. Same when a team member is transitioning between levels. As training director, you are in charge of the safety of the dog, the safety of the trainer, and the safety of the decoys. Otherwise, you have to be willing to bend and let your trainers explore and try new things when they want to. In a club atmosphere, training and information don’t all have to come from one person. Everyone can learn and grow from one another. "The approach has to be one where we look at shared success, and being genuinely happy as teams progress. Those teams have to realize they wouldn't be anywhere without the decoys, without the training directors, without the people that are part of the successful approach that has allowed that team to be able to title successfully." — Jerry Bradshaw Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com Contact Jerry: Website: controlledaggressionpodcast.com Email: JBradshaw@TarheelCanine.com Tarheel Canine Training: www.tarheelcanine.com Youtube: tarheelcanine Twitter: @tarheelcanine Instagram: @tarheelk9 Facebook: TarheelCanineTraining Protection Sports Website: psak9-as.org Patreon: patreon.com/controlledaggression Slideshare: Tarheel Canine Calendly: https://calendly.com/tarheelcanine Tarheel Canine Seminars: https://streetreadyk9.com/ Sponsors: ALM K9 Equipment: almk9equipment.com PSA & American Schutzhund: psak9-as.org Tarheel Canine: tarheelcanine.com Superior Canine Website: https://superiorcanine.ca/ Aaron’s Superior Canine Email: aaron@superiorcanine.ca Superior Canine Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/superiorcanineinc Superior Canine Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/superiorcanineinc/ Train Hard, train smart, be safe.
