    Decoys Stop Helping the Dogs!
    Aug 21 2026
    In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: Training proactive, powerful dogs in proactivity. Preventing early queues in training to your canine. Teaching your dog that their actions initiate activity from the target. Morphing reactivity into proactivity. Having a training progression to move away from the handler and decoy help of early foundational training. Key Takeaways: You want your dog to be willing to initiate, even if there's no reaction or triggers from the decoy. As humans, it is easy for us to identify that a random extremity is part of a larger human being. It takes dogs longer to look at that picture and figure out that what they are seeing is attached to the target, which is a passive human being. Have a plan if your dog is struggling with proactivity to go back to foundational elements. Don't get in the habit of assisting them with movement every time. Allow context to work for you. Avoid creating anticipation and let the training and context work by changing the picture the dog sees. "So don't be lazy. Set up your civil sessions, your scenarios, and make sure as the dog comes into the training area that we're setting up these situations that were not leaving clues on the ground in the form of equipment." — Jerry Bradshaw Episode References: The Working Grip Foundation: https://workinggrip.org/ Stewart Hilliard's Kynology: https://kynology.org/ 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/ Tarheel Canine Student Portal: https://tcstudentportal.com/ Sponsors: ALM K9 Equipment: almk9equipment.com PSA & American Schutzhund: psak9-as.org Tarheel Canine: tarheelcanine.com The Drive Company: thedriveco.com The Drive Company Instagram: instagram.com/thedrive.co Dog Armour: dogarmour.com Dog Armour Instagram: instagram.com/dogarmourpro Rogue Arsenal: roguearsenal.com Rogue Arsenal Instagram: instagram.com/rogue_arsenal_official Kirby K9: k9irby.com Train Hard, train smart, be safe.

  • Podcast Short: PSA2 Muzzle Attack

    Podcast Short: PSA2 Muzzle Attack
    Jun 19 2026

    In today's podcast short, Jerry Bradshaw discusses issues with muzzle attacks in the PSA Level 2, noting that many dogs and handlers struggle with this exercise. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the fundamentals of a good muzzle fight and suggests starting with unsuited muzzle work to build civil aggression. Jerry advises limiting strikes in training sessions to manage your dog's frustrations and to gradually introduce other equipment, such as bite suits and hidden sleeves. He stresses the need for decoys to provide accurate feedback and to avoid distractions in early training sessions, especially when starting out on muzzle work.

    "We want the dog biting through the muzzle. The muzzle is just something that's keeping him from biting that decoy." — Jerry Bradshaw

  • Essentials of Civil Aggression

    Essentials of Civil Aggression
    Jul 10 2026

    In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

    • Bringing more civil aggression into your sport or police dogs.

    • Utilizing prey guarding to start training young dogs for proactive defense.

    • The difference between uncontrolled aggression and expressive aggression.

    • What to look for in a patrol dog regarding civil aggression.

    • The three ways dogs manifest a reaction to a threat.

    Key Takeaways:

    • In our training for our police dogs, we're concentrating on these civil aggression essentials and thinking about how that decoy can bring about some of that aggression, and then we can start to minimize the cues that bring out that aggression, and then it becomes much more contextual.

    • Don't let people make you believe that just because a dog shows expressiveness and aggression in an expressive way, the dog will become uncontrollable and incapable.

    • Defense is not a dirty word. There's nothing to be scared of. Defense is not a weakness.

    • When promoting aggression and tapping into the defensive side of the dog, and building confidence in those reactions is ignored, oftentimes the dog cannot figure out how to bring a prey response out of a decoy, which can lead to displacement behaviors.

    "It's easier to cap a dog when he understands how to be expressive than to never allow him to be expressive in the beginning." — Jerry Bradshaw
